Saved from something like Regret: A Day in the Life...(1)

...of the Scott girls. We have a friend who has done a blog post with one photo every hour throughout the day. I decided to do something similar, just to show what a typical day is like at our house. Beware, this post has gotten very long! This was Thursday, the 21st of April. I forgot to get any of us in bed in the morning, just waking up, but that's not very exciting (although it would have been quite funny)! This day, Travis and I were in bed and at about 7:15 I laid there and said, "Well, they're both awake." I have to say, 7:15 is a very reasonable time to start the day, but I was tired. I got up and got Zoe, and Travis got Sophia.

Playing together before breakfast. Apparently I didn't get Zoe dressed when I got her up. Sophia was making "tea" for them to drink.

In the kitchen making pancake batter. I am still in my PJs too.

I didn't get a good photo of this, but Sophia was fixing Zoe's hair. It was so funny!

Blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

Dishes that didn't fit into the dishwasher from our dinner with guests the night before.

Yum! Looking beautiful, I know! :)

Zoe wasn't too keen on the blueberries.

Sophia has always loved blueberry pancakes though.

Zoe seemed tired, but was not happy when I put her to bed for her morning sleep.

Packing our food for our outing.

Finally showered, but still not dressed.

Sophia reading books while I got ready and Zoe was asleep.

In the pram by our car. It's just easier to put everyone and everything in here on our way down the driveway.

Up the driveway. Yes, it really is a tight fit (and there are marks on our car to prove it). You can see by the tree that it's Autumn here. Heading to the zoo.

Up one of the beautiful tree lined streets by our house.

We met Ruby and Rasa (Ruby's new nanny) at the zoo. We also saw Jacky! She used to be Ruby's nanny, but was at the zoo all dressed up handing things out to the kids this day. Ruby wasn't so sure about Jacky in this outfit.

I was trying to get a pic of the girls standing under this elephant, but they just kept running around, so this is the best I could do.

Another pic that I was trying to get, but is blurry because they just kept on walking. It is school holidays right now so the zoo was very busy. It was good they held hands part of the time as it was hard to keep track of them.

On our way back home. We are close to the Skytower which is in the center of the city.

Back home and enjoying the beautiful Autumn colours.

Does anyone else leave their lounge like this on their way out the door?

Zoe eating lunch (homemade pizza from the night before).

Sophia and her baby getting ready to eat lunch.

Unloading the dishwasher after lunch (I am sooooo thankful for that dishwasher!).

Zoe in her cot for afternoon sleep time. Until she and Sophia are old enough to share a room, she sleeps in our front storage room that's off of our bedroom. It's a little weird, but it works just fine. She doesn't seem to mind.

Sophia in her cot too. Unfortunately, she hardly ever actually takes a nap anymore, but she still spends about 1 1/2 hours in her cot in the afternoon. Lately she's been having "book parties."
