A day in the life
7:00am: Sarah is almost always one of the first ones down for breakfast. She can fix it all herself and help the littles as well.
Morning: After breakfast she does her morning chores, which include piano practice. We try to start school by 8:00am during the school year. She liked to start school with math!
Lunch: Open-faced peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have been her favorite lately. She eats at least an apple a day and has a sweet tooth.
Afternoon: Sarah continues to read and play quietly during "nap" time. It is a chance for her to finish any school work, read for fun, and have some alone time. After rest the kids play together or we run errands.
Dinner: Rice is a favorite, along with tacos and pasta. She is a good eater.
Bedtime: The kids all get ready for bed by 7:00pm. Sarah gets to read until 8:00pm!
How we celebrated: Sarah chose to start the day with cinnamon rolls, but we tinted one icing pink and put oreo crumbs in the other. During the morning we opened a few gifts, spent time playing together, and looked back through pictures from each of the last ten birthdays. Such special memories! Lunch was "rainbow lunch": strawberries, orange fanta, mac and cheese, broccoli/sugar snap peas, blueberries, and grapes. Anna gave her unicorn ice cream to have for dessert. During nap time we watched Beauty and the Beast. A little scary, but they were glad to know the whole story! She had a strawberry and oreo cake and requested drive through Chick Fil A for dinner. An all around delicious day!
Random, but fun:
* Sarah learned to type this year and took her first writing program. It is really neat to see her mind on paper.
* This was her first year as a confident swimmer.
* Last summer she took gymnastics and she got to start lessons again. It is a joy!
* Sarah continues to love nursing, but is also interested in opening an in-home daycare.
