Life Lately

The whirlwind of life continues as we settle into our complete family reality.  Here's a glimpse into some of the fun that's been going on over the last couple of days:

After our busy morning on Wednesday, the rest of our day was pretty productive as well.  I got to tutor for an hour, which is always fun for me, and we finished off our day with a trip to Coffee Bar Blue Door for story time.  After story time, we hung around to spy on the accordion player...

...we were intrigued to say the least.

Thursday kicked off in a mellow fashion but we did finally motivate ourselves to get to the gym.  We got in a fantastic weights workout before heading home to tackle produce day...

...the boxes were a big hit with the boys this week...

It was a long day and once it was over, we felt the need to treat ourselves to some sushi, Benihana happy hour style...

...while there, we worked on our chopsticks skills :-) 

 ...and had fun with the complimentary menu/hats they give the kids...

Having our family back together again is FANTASTIC!!

Today started off with our first trip to the dentist...not stress-free like I had hoped, but we survived it.  Mason and Colton are polar opposites...and always keep us on our toes.  Going into it, Colton was more excited than Mason but when it came time to get down to business, Mason was all about getting his teeth cleaned and Colton wanted nothing to do with it.  I think it's interesting to note Mason's hygienist talked to him like a big kid and made him feel so grown up and Colton's hygienist talked to him like he was a baby...  We got the all clear so thankfully, we don't have to tackle that task again for another 6 months.  PHEW!

We spent the rest of our morning tackling chores from our list before finally taking some time for a dip in the pool.  I spent the boys naptime making banana bread, vacuuming, and even managed to squeeze in a Shaun T - T25 workout.  Love those short, intense workouts!

We finished off the day with a little social gathering for the grown-ups while the kids played with some friends of ours.  We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening!  Now we're gearing up for a relaxing Labor Day weekend with no appointments on the calendar.  WOOHOO!  Bring on the family time!!  Oh, and more time playing in our tent...
