Places/Activities:We
went all over this morning. Dropped off the registration for the twins
for daycare next year (gosh is THAT a RELIEF), signed the kids up for an
Easter egg hunt, went to the bank, got gas, visited Storyville, and
purchased paint from Lowe's. We went to a different Storyville location
today. It's funny. I haven't been here for a couple of years (since
Squeak was small(er)) and it seemed like it shrunk to me! I thought the
Rosedale location was much smaller, but I was wrong. I think both are
fairly comparable. Though I still think I prefer the Woodlawn space
better just because it seemed less cramped. It's seriously probably the
best free thing you can do in Maryland for kids under 5. They really had
a blast! When Squeak got home, we hung out and played outside. Tried
out the new leash on Puff. It didn't go very well... I had to use it
though because she kept running into the street... and when you have two
others to look after, this just isn't going to fly. I might have to
limit them to the backyard for a while until they learn to listen a
little better (or at least learn they can't run into the street).
Reading: Today I started the book The Lost Property Office by James R. Hannibal. I'm pretty excited about it. So far it seems like a good book for Harry Potter fans.
Recipes: Another recipe from New Leaf Wellness tonight. D used the crock pot to make Sloppy Joes. They turned out really well! Check out page 4 on this free downloadable pdf from New Leaf Wellness for the recipe.
Random Thoughts: I recently read a post where someone discussed how many books we have left to read in our lifetimes. It was depressing to think that I might only have a few thousand books left to read in my lifetime. I find that there isn't anything positive in counting down to what little time we have left. As a kid I would constantly "wish" to be taller, to be older, to have boobs so I could wear a bra (what was I thinking!?), for the school year to be over, for the summer to start... My grandmother used to say, "wish in one hand, poop in the other... see what you get first." It always made me laugh. I use the expression myself now. Anyway, my point is that while I love scheduling things to look forward to, I don't want to wish away the time I have in getting from point A to point B. Yes, I AM looking forward to going back to work, because this SAHM gig is hard work, but I'm enjoying the time I have with these three munchkins - well, except for the fits of screaming and crying. I could do without those.
