Forever a Vazquez Family: Typical Day

Being a stay at home Mom can be very isolating, especially right now. We are living in a new area that is dominated by the elderly retired folks. So making friends has been a bit of a challenge. I have zero Mom friends or really any friends to hang with right now unfortunately. All my friends are spread across the country. However I have met a few people at church that don't have permed gray hair and am going to get up the motivation soon to invite them over to do something! (p.s nothing against old people ( ; they are better to live with in an apartment complex than partying college kids)

I just hit my 3rd trimester! Woohoo! But no wonder I've been feeling drained and unmotivated lol. Somedays I just don't have the motivation to leave the house. It is exhausting taking Tony out. Just getting to the car is an event, and I am trying to not carry him as often because it's been straining me to carry a flailing toddler around lol. However staying home all day makes me almost go crazy sometimes.

Here is what a typical stay at home day looks like:

I hear Tony so I wake up.
I go to get him from his crib and we play with his caterpillar and bear while he is still in his crib and have them kiss lol.
I get him out of bed and sit on the floor until he decides to lay down for his diaper change. I'm too tired to fight about diapers in the morning so I just tell him I won't play or get him food or milk till he has a new diaper on. Usually doesn't take too long for him to cooperate.
Lately he actually doesn't want milk in the morning so we go and stare at the pantry until something looks good lol. Usually we eat dry cereal while watching cartoons.
Then we play with trains or guns.
At 8:00am we wake up Daddy! Tony get's his phone time while I crawl back into bed while Isaac is waking up.
When Isaac gets up he and Tony have Daddy/Tony time while I nap ( :
I wake up eat and then get dressed for the day.
Then we turn off cartoons and play and play and play and play lol we are usually playing with trains or guns. When I get too sick of pushing trains in a figure 8 circle a million times and loading up amo in guns then we eat something again and may watch another cartoon.
More play time! I do believe we have too much free time lol. Isaac pops in and spends time with us when he takes breaks from job hunting, hw, and his Beachbody coaching.
Isaac and Tony play a video game together and I get a break, woohoo! Tony no longer naps unless he falls asleep in the car. So it is nice to get a little break.
Sometimes we do chores and sometimes we don't.
Then it's more play time. I load more rounds of ammo and again push trains round and round. Sometimes we play with blocks, I build stuff and Tony destroys it lol.
On a good day I make dinner and Tony actually plays by himself sometimes or plays with Isaac. He usually pushes his truck around or vaccums.
Eat.
Then the house usually looks something like this ( ;

So now we clean up Toys.
Then bedtime routine. Isaac and I choose who wants to do dishes or who gives Tony his Bath, then it is diaper, family prayer, milk, scriptures, brush teeth (he is so good, he open the toothpaste and everything by himself, he doesn't like help!) Then I chase him around the house literally, it's like a game we do I guess lol and when I catch him then I put his jammies on ( : Then we say his personal prayer and read Green Eggs and Ham while he holds the flashlight. We sing songs and talk about his day. Finally it's bedtime 7:00pm and he is in bed.
That's when I get my time to just have some me time. I don't do chores after bedtime. Any chores that need to be done I do during the day or save them for the next day that way I can unwind.
Since I am a night owl and so is Isaac we usually go to bed around midnight. We are working on going to sleep earlier but it's our only alone time so going to bed early hasn't been very successful yet lol.

Sometimes I wonder if our days are too boring for Tony but a picture speaks a thousand words right, lol...looks happy to me ( :

Everyday I don't stay home all day but alot of days I do. I just worked on making a list of free things to do outside the house in our area. I found a lot of cool activities for toddlers at 3 local libraries and some neat outdoor places. So next week I am going to try to get out of the house and do something everyday, even if I'm feeling unmotivated. Because when I get out I feel so much better about life ( :

Here is some pictures of when we actually get out:
