Jared spends a few minutes getting a head start on work...
While Jack eats his breakfast.
It's only 6:41 AM, 
but it's time for Jared to take Jack to school. (25 Min. drive)
By then beautiful Susannah is awake with her morning smiles!
Time for Mommy to get beutiful for the day! (I swear I took a dozen pictures before I got one I didn't look like a moron in)
Time for Ethan and Spencer to have breakfast and get ready for school!
My day for carpool!
Spencer takes a picture of himsel!
Arriving at school.
These are the kits that have taken me 3 months to put together. I help teach small groups in 1st grade 2-4 days a week phonemic awareness. 
Next I go get the girls from my friend Amy's house! (Thanks for sitting Amy!)
Then, we dash off to dance for Olivia!
Susie gets a bottle in the car while we wait for Olivia at dance.
Then it's home to get some chores done. Like the basement. Ughhhh! (babysteps, babysteps, babysteps...)
Now why would a girl be this happy?
Because it's time to go to Target!!! (I had intended to do a whole post on our NEW Target. It's only been open a month, and I've already spent a year's worth of money there. Hooray for no more 25 minute trips to Target!)
The beautiful, Waconia Target.
Olivia is so happy with her snack!
The view from the top of the hill coming to our house. (We're the yellow one in the middle)
Time to change the baby's stinky diaper! (I spared you that picture)
Time for naps!
My gourmet lunch, eaten while on the computer, and checking my to do list for the rest of the day.
Time to wrap the present bought at Target for Ethan's party after school! (I only did that because he was going straight there. I'm normally a very strict "do it yourself" type of mom)
Back in the Mormon mobile.
Back to the school
Carpool!
Picking up the Dibs freeezers from the fundraiser the night before!
After school snack. Very healthy, of course.
I suppose I better do last night's dinner, and this mornings' breakfast dishes before I start dinner.
But in the meantime, Spencer gets to make cupcakes for a cub scout requirement. He gets to bring the pack meeting treat!
What a cook!
Finally sitting down for dinner!
Then everyone dashes off to pack meeting! (Susie and I stay home)
Unfortunately, a tray of cupcakes doesn't survive the mad dash out the door. Good thing we have a freezer full of ice cream. 
Unfortunately, the dishes didn't disappear as fast as my helpers.
This is how I looked by the time the dishes were done.
Fold a "quick" load of laundry...
Put the girls in bed...
And fall asleep before the boys get back home!I can't believe I get to get up and do this all again tomorrow!

Oh my gosh. My day is sooooo boring compared to yours. You didn't even get a minute to yourself, except to get yourself ready for the day. you looked fabulous!
Yay for you! I especially like the cupcakes on the floor.
Ps. That Susannah is the cutest baby ever.
So cute! You look fabulous. You're day IS exhausting, but so worth it!
I too read Jennie's blog (I promise I don't stalk) but she's so funny! Anyway... I did the pictures but can't link to her blog because I'm private. BUMMER. Thanks for thinking of Craig. He's not really given me any clues as to what to send. Snack food, gum, hard candy are all that I can come up with. He likes Science magazines. Letters or cards from the kids are always fun. I'm getting our package together this week as well. Call if you need more :) Thanks!
Okay, I can not complain at how crazy my days are. I am tired just reading about your day.
Just think if you had done this a few weeks earlier. It would have included a dozen hours of primary work sprinkled into your already busy day.
I'm exhausted after reading that!!
I'm afraid if I showed my moments for a day, it would be of me napping, and messy house, and boys playing wii. hooray for being pregnant. :)
