After a late night, you'd think the boys would sleep in, but there was no such luck. We kicked off our morning bright and early with a chat with daddy...
The boys are becoming pros at FaceTime. Today they decided to multitask and doodle while chatting. They were very serious about their drawing...
We squeezed in a morning trip to the gym so I could spend some time on the stepmill and the elliptical. I am convinced the stepmill is a torture device, especially since I haven't mastered the art of reading while climbing. I'm a pro at devouring novels while cranking out the miles on the elliptical and I don't take it easy with the intensity either. I'm a day ahead with my best body bootcamp workouts and decided to use the elliptical workout from Peak313 as my cardio for today using pages rather than minutes for breaking down the activities...
This is BY FAR my favorite way to keep the elliptical interesting and challenging. I especially love the backwards squats while balancing...and reading! So far this book has me thoroughly engaged...
source After the gym, we hit up PetSmart and Target. The boys have really been enjoying the double carts there... You know me, I can't make it out of Target without some impulse buys such as this dino sandwich cutter from the dollar section...
We tried it out with our lunch and it was a winner...
I'm trying to think of other things I can cut with it besides bread...ideas anyone? Speaking of bread, the boys and I have been loving this Rudi's Organic Bread we found in the freezer section at Publix. It's one of the few store-bought breads I've found where I actually recognize all of the ingredients, feel good about feeding it to the boys, and the boys LIKE it. Let me tell you, that's a winning combination.
I also had to make a quick pass through the discounted Valentines Day goodies and decided to try this coffee for $3...
I'm enjoying it right now as an afternoon pick-me-up on this dreary day. It's GOOD! We also scored some dark chocolate M&Ms for me and some mini M&Ms for the boys. We all know that we'll all be sharing all of them. I also found some of my mom's favorite candies, Turtles, on sale for half off too. It will be a nice treat for her when she visits later in the spring. I hope I can keep my hands off of them until she gets here.
We returned home ready for lunch and I threw together this delicious "pizza" made with broccoli pesto, shrimp, and some mozzarella all on a Joseph's lavash bread. SOOOOOOO good!
Time to tackle some chores and hopefully still have some time to relax before the boys wake up. I hope this rain goes away so we can get some fresh air later today or at least this weekend. We've got a fun weekend ahead of us. Can't wait!
