Typical

Today was a typical "home" day.  I work three days/week and am home two days (plus weekends, obviously).  On my home days Malcolm stays at home with me all a day and we pick Donovan up for lunch.  This is what we did today:

Get up.  Shortly after, Daddy leaves for work.
Eat breakfast.
Running late - Donovan brushed teeth but skipped Malcolm, who insisted on eating a giant second bowl of cereal.
Walked Donovan down to school.  Walked back home.
Potty time.
Time to go to speech therapy - 45 minute session located 5 minutes from our house.
Errands - Staples and Superstore.
Home to put away groceries and potty time.
Time to walk down and pick up Donovan for lunch.
Walk back home.
Make lunch.  Eat lunch.  Playtime while I tidy up.
Walk Donovan down to school.  Walk home.
Potty time. 
Quiet time (which today was watching TV).  Time for me to run around the house and accomplish a few chores.
Time to pick up Donovan from school.
Play outside school (today it was one whole hour).
Walk home.  Eat snack.  Playtime.  Donovan played with geometric block shapes in the living room and Malcolm looked at books at the table.
Potty time.
TV time for kids.  Time to make supper.
Daddy comes home.
Eat supper.
Tidy up living room.  Time to brush teeth, go potty and have bathtime.
Story time (separately, for each kid).
Bedtime.

The kids are usually in bed by 8pm during the week so that leaves the evening for Jan and I to catch up on stuff - whether it's housework or "real" work.

The above does not illustrate the several tantrums and meltdowns Malcolm experienced today (he seems to be teething), nor the complete lack of success on going on the potty today.  But all in all it was a pretty good day, and pretty typical for us.
