What do we do? Are you kidding??!..

Carson does not watch TV or videos. The first question that people ask is, "What do you do all day??!". Well, today was a stormy day and we decided to stay in (rare for us) and here is a breakdown of our day:

1. Wake up and all three of us snuggle for about 3ominutes
2. Change baby and nurse as Carson declares how excited he is that it is storming...Then I work hard to keep him inside the house while still in PJs with no breakfast
3. Take shower while watching boys play in Master closet (it is huge). During most of the shower, Carson squeals with excitement that Cameron is crawling so fast
4. Sort laundry with Carson and put a load of diapers in the washer
5. Hang out and play in Carson's bedroom while he gets dressed
6. Carson puts today's day on the calendar and tells me what time it is and writes it while I keep Cameron from eating calendar magnets (the little guy is getting FAST!)
7. Cook sprouted cream of spelt while Cameron unloads tupperware drawer and I load dishwasher with Carson's help
8. Eat breakfast and afterwards realize that the kitchen is messier than before I cleaned it. 'sigh'
9. Straighten up kitchen while Carson and Cameron play ball
10. Sit in playroom and build log houses with boys. Carson built and extra-special one for Cameron to destroy and I video tape the demolition
11. Carson decides he wants to make a robot costume (don't know where that idea came from) so we go in the craft room and I cut a head and arm holes from a paper grocery bag while Carson gets his paint clothes on and builds a special rocket out of construction paper. Cameron is teething on craft room chair seats.
12. Get white paint and roller out for Carson to prime his robot bag costume. Carson starts to paint
13. Cameron is tired so I leave Carson to paint while I go to nurse Cameron for his morning nap
14. Check on Carson and per his request, I assist him at painting the bag white. We let that dry and work on the rocket some more
15. We read about 30minutes of Charlotte's Web
16. I fold clothes from dryer and Carson puts diapers from washer into dryer
17. We drink some herbal hot tea and sit on the porch to watch the rain, birds and squirrels. Carson is amazed how quickly our trees are blooming.
18. Have a snack of the banana pudding that I made for St.Patrick's Day I colored it with Spirulina
19. I lay in recliner and snooze for about 7minutes while Carson reads to himself
20. Cameron wakes up and we snuggle him for about 20minutes. Cameron has a dry diaper and he pees in the potty and I put same diaper on. Carson is so excited when Cameron pees in potty.
21. Start to make lunch (tuna/egg salad). Cameron needs to be held, so I wear him. Carson puts on some music and we sing along while he gets ingredients from fridge. Carson whines he is STARVING so he bites the hard boiled eggs before lunch is ready.
22. Eat lunch. Cameron gets some egg yolk which he seems happy about. (still won't sign food)
23. Clean up kitchen (again) and start dishwasher
24. Go outside and get rained on some for fun. Splash in the puddles. Hear thunder and run back inside
25. Carson plays his fancy new 'real' guitar that Daddy bought him. Cameron plays the baby guitar that Carson gave him when he got the 'real' guitar. I play everything else..drums, maracas, triangle, harmonica, cymbols
26. Check on robot costume...yeah! it's dry. Get paints back out so Carson can color his robot.
27. Cameron seems ready for another nap. Carson paints while I go nurse Cameron to sleep.
28. Check on Carson and he is back playing with the logs and a farm set he got out.
29. I make phone calls about camper parts and gutter repairs
29. Together we clean up the craft room up and let the robot dry again
30. Chat with friend on phone while Carson tells me he wants to do glitter
31. Finish chatting with friend and glitter is 'accidentally' all over floor
32. We vaccum glitter and since I have it out, vaccum kitchen, foyer and hallway. Carson helps.
33. We do glitter. Carson made a really nice picture with the sun, moon and grass. We let it dry with the robot.
34. Vaccum glitter (again)
35. We go into family room and clean up the fort that we built 2 days ago. Carson wants to build a different one and I tell him that after we straighten up the playroom, we can.
36. Cameron is up and ready to go. Dry again. Pees on potty.
37. 5min later, Cameron poops in diaper. Oops, maybe next time! Go change diaper.
38. We straighten up the playroom and media room
39. Start getting dinner together and Mark calls and say he's running behind
40. I wear Cameron while I get dinner together. Carson is making up a game where people pay 2cents to watch his swingset show. He is busy making receipts for the people that pay to see his show (my little entrepreneur)
41. Carson is too hungry to wait for Daddy, so we sit down to eat just as Daddy walks in.
42. Daddy takes Cameron to Master closet to change from his work clothes while Carson and I eat.
43. Daddy and Cameron eat and then play together while Carson and I finish Charlotte's Web
44. 1 more chapter to go, but Cameron is ready for bed so I take him while Daddy reads the final chapter
45. After nursing Cameron, Carson wants me to re-read final chapter since it was 'our thing'. I read last chapter.
46. Daddy gets Carson ready for bed and tells stories for 30minutes and it's lights out. It's 9pm.

So, tell me. Where is the time for TV?? This is a day that we were actually home. Typically, we are out playing with friends. I just can't seem to find anything that I would like to cut out of our day to incorporate it. So, we don't watch TV or movies. What do we do?? We live.
