While I was enjoying a night out, Mickey was home for boys' night. Check out these cuties. I'm pretty sure the boys were having more fun than their daddy was. He's a trooper.
Despite a later than usual night, I was up early and had a new plan of attack for the morning...skip the coffee, do my reading as a warm-up on the elliptical, and be back home before the sun was up and the boys were awake. SUCCESS! I was able to do my reading, get in 45 easy minutes on the elliptical (today's supposed to be a rest day but I like active rest...no pounding), a quick chest and back workout, and still made it home before sunrise which left Mickey enough time to get some yard work done while I made breakfast and tackled the onslaught of two freshly awake toddlers. Bring on the coffee and the crazies!
This is the chest and back workout I did this morning at the gym. It only took me about 15 minutes. Easy breezy...
This morning I tried out some Soyrizo (vegetarian chorizo) I found on my disastrous Wal-Mart adventure. It was suprisingly delicious in scrambled eggs. We had a little hummus on toast on the side. My husband devoured every last bite right along with me. There's hope for this vegan lifestyle after all. Now just to find a good scrambled egg substitute...suggestions?
I'm so happy it's Labor Day weekend which means 3 full days with the whole family together. I'm also looking forward to my 7 mile run tomorrow. Maybe I'll leave the boys with their daddy and Oma who's here for a weekend visit and just enjoy the solo ride. We'll see...
One last thing...I've been selected by Kiwi Magazine to be a Green Mom Ambassador. If you're a local mom who's interested in trying out green products and providing feedback, let me know in the comments section below. It's free and sounds like it could be lots of fun.
These crazy boys are going to love all the new stuff we try out. I just know it.
Happy Friday!! Don't forget to MOVE this weekend...and RELAX too. It is Labor Day Weekend after all...
