the worst time of the day...

The hardest part of my "work" day is the last hour...between 5 and 6 pm. The way our schedule usually works is dinner for the kids at 5:30, Caton home around 6:00, baths and jammies about 6:30 and kids in bed at 7:00. Once Caton gets home, the time flies, but that one hour before he arrives seems to last forever! The kids are getting tired, we fight the nightly picky eaters battle, and I am just ready for some reinforcements...

So I have found ways to move that hour along a little quicker. Our favorite thing to do is to listen to music. I actually have a kid-appropriate-but-not-incredibly-annoying playlist on my ipod that Layla, Jack and I rock out to during dinner preparations and clean-up. I turn up the ihome speakers and we dance like crazy people (even Jack does a little squatting jig). 

To pass the time tonight, I fooled around with my camera and took some fun shots of the kids eating. Nothing too exciting, but it is nice sometimes to capture the ordinary moments...
