A Typical Day with the Pierce's

So I'm sure you are just SO curious what we do with ourselves all day long at the Pierce residence! (sarcasm) I thought I'd put it out on the blog so I can remember one day!


1. Wake up around 8:30am (unless Cole wakes up with a dirty pull up earlier) Today...it was 7:30 :(

2. Brush Teeth. (I LOVE them brushing their teeth! So much fun!!)

2. Make breakfast. Usually this means Waffles, or eggs & bologna or bacon or Oatmeal! Here is Cole making his first batch of waffles! He was so excited!!!


3. Watch some choo choos...(sadly...this happens almost every day...) Sometimes we watch some Disney Channel or Sesame Street too!

4. Play...This is what can happen in a matter of MINUTES...like when I'm washing dishes :)


5. Eat Lunch. Grilled Cheese, Bolgona sandwich, quesadilla, pizza...it variess...but not by much. Cole is a very picky eater...and Natalie is starting to follow in his footsteps!

6. Naptime. I usually let them play until about 1pm and then we get ready for the nap. Natalie goes STRAIGHT to bed...Cole gets a book. (sometimes we jump on the bed before a nap!)

7. REST...catchup on the computer...read...REST...clean (boo). I refuse to nap during this time! haha! It's ME TIME!

8. 4pm...wake them up from nap (sometimes earlier)

9. PLAY! We usually have a snack and play outside or build choo choos or play dolls...whatever!
10. 6:30ish...supper. Usually leftovers or the same menu as above for Cole. He has such a BORING appetite! (don't worry...I make regular meals and offer them to Cole & Natalie. Natalie USUALLY eats them or part of them. Sometimes Cole will take a taste)


11. PLAY with DADDY if he's home! This is their favorite thing to do! Daddy chases them through the house or outside and takes them on "horsie rides". This usually ends with them all spinning around and falling the ground giggling! haha!

12. Brush teeth & take bath. At this point they usually still take a bath together. They haven't really discovered their "differences" yet. I don't know when we'll separate them...but not looking forward to TWO baths!





13. Read books & pray and NIGHT NIGHT! We read a book to natalie and a book to Cole (usually a dinosaur or choo choo book) I love to see them pray. Cole has started to do it on his own, but they both put their hands together (Natalie doesn't last the WHOLE time...ha!) Cole can make the sign of the cross and they both say A-MEN...and clap their hands together! hehe!


PHEW! Wouldn't have it any other way!

You and Justin are the best parents in child could have. Your house should be a place where your kids feel very comfortable and not like they can't do anything. That's a healthy lifestyle. My babies are so smart. I love seeing Cole do the sign of the cross. Natalie will pick it up soon. Grandma loves you Cole and Natalie!

Cute!! Sorry that cole is a picky eater, but it makes me happy that Tay isn't the only one. =)

Hey Janet!

I always love your pics.

The cin. rolls were pretty easy but took about an hour from start to finish. I bought a Hot Roll box mix(by the muffin, cornbread mixes) that you can make your own dough with. You then roll it out, put butter, cin., and sugar on it. Then you roll that up and cut. Then that has to rise for 30 min. Then you can bake it. It takes a while, but lasted us for 3 mornings and Graham liked it as well. I will def. make it again!!!
