So far this week...

So I wrote this post on Tuesday, and never got to finish it! OH well. Better late than never. Had I written this post, today, well let's just say it'd be a completly different post!!! Dr. day and shots for both boys...it was a fussy, bad nap day, cranky boys, weepy mama kinda day. We made it through though, now I can look back on my nice Monday and Tuesday and hope for a great Thursday and Friday :)
Our days have taken on a great routine that I am finally happy with. Both boys have been sleeping in till 7 or 8am! (Despite going to bed before 7, growth spurt?) Which is just glorious. I like looking back on those 5:30/6am wake ups and being grateful that for now anyway, we are on the 7/8am wake ups.  We never take it for granted that's for sure!
Our mornings are spent eating a good breakfast (love the easy clean up, why did it take me so long to have Caleb sitting at the table for breakfast and snacks? Oh well! Makes me appreciate it now. Especially since he has the new routine down pat. Only took a couple days. Now 'ready eat' is his cue and the food is already ready and the tantrums have dwindled down several notches! So have the toddler munchies. Thank goodness.)
After breakfast we play in his room and read books while Lucas nurses/plays/and naps. We take a nice run/walk with the stroller for snack time around 10. Or we go to a playgroup/momsclubactivity. When we come home we play outside before lunch time. 12 o'clock is lunch and nap time and our afternoons are usually spent playing outside. I've been forgoing so many activities and just staying home a little more because it is easier and more relaxing just doing our own routine at home. It felt kind of crazy going to something everyday so for now we're just doing things a couple days a week. Trying to drop dave off at work and pick him up was also getting to be too much. He comes home for lunch still which breaks up the day for me nicely! Caleb is so entertained by Lucas and it is easier to do nursing/tummy time playtime/naps at home. So I am enjoying the relaxation of being home with my boys and the change in season as we prepare for all the holidays coming up. Hopefully it continues to be a nice week!

Although...3:30am this morning being greeted by ants around my kitchen counters and a black widow spider on my front porch (while I tried to spray the ants outside in my skivies with a broken flashlight, all at 3:30am)...was not the best way to spend my time!  Not too easy going back to sleep either. (but i'm glad I discovered it before it got worse! Thank you. Lucas.) The situation is under control now....(lots of dead black widows around our house though. Yuck!) Talk about disgusting and disturbing. I was at safeway at 7am picking up ant traps.

I am joining a weekly bible study with a group of women and I'm really excited about it! Because it is every week, I finally decided I should start pumping so I can leave Dave with some milk for Lucas. Lucas took his first bottle at lunchtime today. Dave was pretty excited about it ;) Kinda cute. I'm excited for future date nights with hubs while the boys are home with grandparents and aunties

So, even though it is only Tuesday...it looks to be a good week :)
