Today is…Friday November 19 2010
Today’s Morning Message is brought to you by…Giant!
“Friday” [FribaY]
“Snow” [Snwo]
“cold” [c/o/d]
“boots” [b____oots]
Note: I really must write the Morning Message before the boys are up.
If I don’t, I get accosted at the chalkboard and sometimes, like today, don’t even get to finish the Message by myself.
Which may or may not be a good thing.
Anyway.
It was cold, it did snow, and we wore our boots as we went to the Gym today.
Yay for us!
No really, 1 hour of kid getting ready and traveling time for 1/2 hour of exercise is something worth clapping for.
(Started getting kids ready at 8:30, was actually exercising at 9:15. Changed a diaper and outfit and cuddled a baby. Started getting kids ready to go at 10. Got home at 10:45. I stand corrected: 1.5 hours of kid and traveling time for 1/2 hour (with diaper changes and baby cuddling) of exercise.)
Why bother?
Because if I didn’t, I’d probably be more than likely to go stir crazy sitting at home with 3 crazier little boys.
It really is worth it.
Really.
I think.
When we got home (at 10:45) Giant and Ettin wanted to play a bit in the snow:
Ettin got fed up with the idea faster than Giant did:
As I was unpacking the Gym/Diaper bag, I noticed that I’d lost a shoe.
Somewhere.
Somewhere on the long trip home from the Gym.
Somewhere that would involve me bundling up the kids again and traveling to look for it. (Read, 2hrs 15 mins of kid and travel time for 1/2 hour of gym time).
I called Daddy Bear.
Daddy Bear looked for it when he got home for lunch.
Daddy Bear found it.
I LOVE that man!
After lunch I read stories with the boys:
And sang them “Mary Had a Little Lamb”
Ettin was impressed by my rendition.
After the little ones were napping, Giant and I made some more bagels to give away.
We may have eaten one or ten ourselves.
Yum!
