If DD1 picks up all her toys and puts them away, we watch cartoons. I usually tidy up the house, do laundry, etc. 1100-1130 DD2 has her second nap, DD1 and I either go outside or play with more toys, read books, stickers, etc. 1200 lunch, after lunch we do more activities, I hope DD2 wakes up so I can try to get her to nap when DD1 goes for nap 200 DD1 goes for a nap, I hope DD2 goes for her third nap. If they both go down, I open my laptop and work (I operate my own business which is contracted out of my husbands business). If DD2 doesn't nap, I get no work done and instead 'play' with her. 430-500 DD1 wakes up, I start supper, cartoons usually go on. 530-600 DH gets home, we eat supper. DH takes over for the evening and I either soak in a bath, workout or do more work depending on my day. 830 DD1 goes to bed. 930-1000 DD2 goes to bed, we either stay up for a bit or crash. Now that it's nice out i'm hoping we spend a LOT more time doing stuff outside! skipper2010 on "SAH's with 2+ kids" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahs-with-2-kids#post-1630683 Tue, 13 May 2014 08:35:43 +0000 skipper2010 1630683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Running Elley: I am so impressed!

This is what our day typically looks like- 7am- Up, make breakfast, clean up breakfast, play all together (reading books, laying on the floor, doing puzzles, etc.) 9am- DD goes down for her morning nap. While she's napping DS and I usually play outside (partly because its easier to do outdoor stuff with just one LO and partly so that she can nap in peace!). We'll play in the garden, water, do painting activities, etc. 10:30am- DD wakes up, I feed her and we usually leave the house. We go to the grocery store, go to the park with friends, go to a local storytime, go play at grandma's... 12:30pm- Lunch, lunch clean up, diaper changes and a little more reading 1:30pm- Both of my kids nap together in the afternoons 3:30-4pm- Both are usually awake by now and we usually do an activity. I look up activities for my toddler on pinterest (there's TONS of easy stuff) and do it with him. I try to include DD as much as I can (like if he's stringing together toilet paper rolls I give her some to hold/play with...) 5:30pm- DD usually takes a quick little cat nap around here and DS "helps" me with dinner. If it's been a rough day he watches a quick show during this time. 6pm- Dinner and play! 7pm- The kids take a bath together, I put on DS' pajamas while DD plays in his crib, I read them books, sing songs and put DS down. I take DD out with me, feed her and put her down. Nothing glamorous but the days usually feel pretty full. We're rarely bored! matador84 on "SAH's with 2+ kids" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahs-with-2-kids#post-1626626 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:08:24 +0000 matador84 1626626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ What is your day like? I'll be home with both kids in June-until August. I especially want activities to keep my toddler entertained in the afternoons!
