What is a day in our life really like?

Ok, so since it is called "A day in the life of the Melicks" maybe I should tell you what our days usually consist of. Usually starts at about 6:30, I get up to shower and get myself together a litte bit. Let the dog out, feed him. By 7ish, Maddie wakes up, get her breakfast, Hana usually follows at 7:30, or today was 8:30, and I get her breakfast. Chloe rolls out of bed at 8, I get her breakfast, after I change her soaked diaper and clothes. By this time, Bryan has usually gone to work. I clean up the kitchen, put the dog in his cage and by 9, we are all upstairs. This is the time for me to do laundry, make the beds, get the girls dressed, and clean whatever needs to be cleaned, and check my email. If I have errands to run, which we keep to once or twice a week, we do it at this time so that we are home by lunch!! Between 11 and 12 we go downstairs, whenever Bubba starts to bark, and let him out. I make lunch, and put Chloe to bed. Sometimes she sleeps other times she just plays. When she is ready to get up, we go to the dog park and let Bubba run around for about 1 1/2 hours while the girls play on the playground. When we get home, it is snack time and maybe time for Chloe to take another nap, depending on how long the first one was. Time for me to get dinner started. The girls usually go upstairs to play while I get dinner ready. Dinner at 5:30, Bryan rolls in anytime between 4 and 7...no set time! Chloe goes to bed between 6 and 6:30. I take Bubba for a 2 mile walk/run. If it is Monday, we have family home evening, which includes a scripture story and activity, like a game or making cookies or whatever the girls want, as long as it is as a family. Tuesday nights, Bryan plays basketball, Wed, we are usually all home, Thursday's I usually have a meeting or girls night out with my friends or whatever I want to do, Friday is date night, and saturday is family day/night!!! Going out on the boat, Seaworld, just time together out as a family!! The girls go to bed about 8, I go downstairs and clean up from dinner, go upstairs to fold all the laundry I did earlier, and go back downstairs to clean the rest of the house. Get to bed around 10:30 or 11. Thats about it!!! Exciting huh? Now you know what a day in the life of the Melicks is like....some adjustments...like craft time with the girls if dinner is an easy one, library days, and so on, but this is it for the most part!

Is that better?

I have had several requests to quickly change the picture here. I guess when you check my blog, the first thing you dont want to see is Bryans bloody head!! Sorry about that. I dont have much time, but things are good. I will update later. So, for now, enjoy this picture of us at the Ruins in Cozumel.

Cool, huh?

Thought I would share the battle wound. By the way, Bryan's birthday is Wednesday...I bought him a helmet! Note: when going into the ER with a head wound, always check up with your physician afterwards to make sure the ER didnt give you directions for taking care of yourself that are complete opposite of what you should do!

First accident of the new year

It only took 2 weeks for something to happen this year! It all started Saturday, I took Maddison and Chloe to Walmart and Bryan took Hana out on the boat with a friend and Bryan's brother. I got a call from Cody to meet them at the ER. First thing I thought was "what did you do to Hana?"...it was Bryan. So, we met them at the ER, walked in and he was holding a bloody towel up to his head. I guess he was wakeboarding and fell a wierd way and the board hit his head and sliced the side open. It was gross. No concussion, though. He ended up getting 5 staples and a bad headache! He is tough, he has a hard head, he will be fine. He is just happy he can finally say that he got hurt wakeboarding!!!
