Family Fridays

Last week I started working four days a week.  I felt Ryder was growing so fast that I wanted to take advantage of this small window of time before he starts school.  I am so incredibly thankful that our family is in a position to be able to reduce my hours (and pay) and that my company was willing to be flexible.  I love our this new arrangement already.  Here's our first day at home in photos:

6:30am - Blueberry waffles for Ryder and daddy

8:00am - Indoor "sandbox" play
We finally got to do a bunch of activities from my toddler books that we rarely have time for.  In addition to oatmeal sandbox play, we played with ice cubes and did pumpkin art.

10:30am - Out for a run
Unfortunately, he fell asleep...but I was nice enough to wake him when we got to the playground :)

Noon  - Daddy's home for lunch
Which means silliness and snuggles :)

1:00pm - Naptime
Meaning study time for mom :)

4:00pm - Halloween party playdate


This means I get to be a full time mom 3 days a week and an architect 4 days a week...So far, that's a pretty good balance :)

So glad you have Fridays off now! We are going to have to kidnap you a couple times! And I love the pictures you got from the party! Would you want to e-mail me them? :)
