Today!

We started out with a double drop off!  Meaning; 2 of everything!! lunches! breakfasts! getting them dressed and out the door!  After a successful drop-off, i headed to Jazzercise and had a better time than friday, still sweated like a banchee, but no back spasms sending me crawling for the outside door!  Luckily, elizabeth was there to follow me out and punch down my spazy back! ahh..friends!

So, there was jazzercise, and then a nice luch at Rachels.  I haven't seen that girl in ages, so it was nice to catch up and let the kids play.  I ate my brown rice and veggies {yawn}--luckily she had hotsauce which i needed to get it all down!

After leaving Rachels, it was off to the gym for the last hour before picking up isaac.  Elliot loves the gym daycare....he packed popcorn for his 'gym snack' today so he watched movies and played and ate--what isn't to love??  I have a workout that takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to do depending on which day i am on rotation.  Today was arms, i am able to fire through it quickly than others, so i got to have a shower!! i was never one to shower at gyms...but i never knew how amazing it makes you feel afterwards!! Like a million bucks!!!  This new routine that elliot and i have is pretty great so far--he has preschool, we visit with friends for lunch between 11:30 and 1:15...1:30-2:30 is the gym, 2:48 is time to pick isaac up.  The days are going by faster than i anticipated.....

Picked up Isaac and raced him to piano lessons....his teacher raved about him and could tell he practiced his little black ant song!

Home by 4--boys played upstairs as i slinked into bed for an hour before dinner!

Chris calls at 5, as i am starting to think about dragging myself out of bed to make dinner, to say that there is a group in so dinner is already made--yeah!!

6pm, dinner finished, extra jackets are grabbed and we head out to explore this: {or something that looks like this that i found on google images}:

We live in such a beautiful, almost magical place.  There are tags everywhere for future logging...so we need to remember to get out there now to enjoy it before its all slashed away!

We hiked around and explored looking for mushrooms, chris found a few pounds of chantrelles....the kids and i spotted a few, but mostly we spotted leaves that looked like mushrooms...not a huge help! ;-)

My favorite memory tonight was this:  chris and isaac went ahead a little while elliot slowed a little behind.  He and i sat on a stump and chatted for a little while {its hard for little legs getting over those big fallen trees!}....but when it was time to get going, elliot called out for isaac....isaac called back...and they kept that up til they found eachother as i watched from behind my little guy clammoring over trees to get to his brother.

Its 9 and i have been in bed for almost an hour...i am so done!  Tommorow i get to stay home all day with elliot as isaac has his carpool!!  The plan is to paint and play and get ready for carrie to arrive at 7!!
