I haven't posted in a few days. I really need to do it every night because I can't remember what I did two days ago! The weather has been really pleasant the last few days. The boys and I enjoyed the park on Monday night since Mike had a meeting. It was nice just to walk around the park and see the ducks. They enjoy walking on the trails more than they do actually playing on the park. Yesterday I worked out in the morning. My friend Kelly and I exchange babysitting so we can each work out. She comes over with her baby and watches the boys for me. Then I come home and she leaves to work out. It is very nice to have someone like that...gives me a chance to have a moment to myself and stay in shape. I am very sore today after yesterday's work out.... After that the boys and I played outside on our swing set.
Today started out rough. I has one of those days where I didn't feel like a very good mom. I felt like I was doing a lot of yelling. I hate when I get like that, and I am sure my boys do as well! They have probably learned to tune me out. Sometimes once I start, I get on this downward spiral. It seemed like the boys were on a roll and did not want to listen to me....or at least didn't want to listen until I yelled loud enough. I know there is a better way!! I do love watching them play together, though. E & J really do play well together. I love listening to them laugh and pretend together. I am very impressed with how well J pretend plays for his age. The other day they were playing cars together. E said, "Hey dude, do you want to come to my house for dinner?" And J said, "Yeah dude." E said, "Get your family and come in my truck." J took his pointer finger and his thumb and pretended to pick up a tiny person off of the table and "put" them into E's truck. He then took he fingers and got "person" out of his truck to put in E's truck. I think that is impressive for a 2 1/2 year old to pretend that much!
Mike's garden is going well! We are starting to get a lot of cucumbers and zucchini. I am hoping to make some zucchini bread. That is something we did last summer a little bit with our surplus. Just when I was getting into it, though, we were done with our zucchini growth. It makes me think about last summer and what we were doing. I can't believe it has been a year since I was on bed rest and L was born. We are having his party on Sunday...a cowboy theme. I am excited but sad at the same time. I am not ready for him to be one. It seems like once they are one they grow up so fast and out of the baby stage...and I love the baby stage.
Tonight while I was putting the boys to bed, I read them a story and then started to sing them "Amazing Grace." I was laying on the floor singing and E came and laid on me with his ear on my chest. He said, "I can hear your heart beating..." Then he said, "I didn't know hearts could sing!" Priceless!!! I love it...I gave him a huge hug!
