The Girl's New Daily Schedule

We have been doing so well on our new schedule! I am so proud of the girls and myself for sticking to it and making it work. My life is getting a little easier each day that goes by since the girls are so much more predictable (due to following this schedule) and therefore I know when I will have time to get things done or take a much needed nap! Certain days, such as Fridays, when we have softball games in the evening for the next few months (some are pretty late at night), I will do things a little differently with their naps, so that they can stay up a little longer, but I plan to bring their pj's with me and have then ready to be placed right in their cribs upon returning home.

But this is what we have been up to the past few weeks and it's really beginning to make order in our house!

Late Night TV

I love watching late night TV when I am up with the girls feeding them; it makes staying awake somewhat easier. However, hopefully I will only have a few more weeks of my late night favorite shows if all goes according to my 12 hour a night sleep schedule...but we'll see! Claire did 10.5 hours the other night while Madelynn did 9 hours and Natalee did 6 hours, so I must be doing something right! I might just have to start DVR'ing my favorite late night shows now but the extra sleep is awesome! No complaints here!

But for the mean time and the past few months, I have so enjoyed watching:

I also love to catch my all time favorite...

What do you like to watch during the middle of the night if you aren't sleeping??
