July 31

Well, compared to how the rest of the week has gone, today was just AWESOME. The boys were both awake and already watching Snow White when I got there. After the movie I whipped up some pancakes and scrambled eggs. They ate with little fuss which was a nice surprise. After that we wrestled and read books until about 10:15, which was when the baby started to get pretty tired. Generally, Victor goes down between 10:00 and 10:30, so we went into the bedroom and laid down. He was super fussy and I wasn't sure he would go to sleep. I just laid next to him, closed my eyes and waited. After I had hummed "Hushabye Mountain" 6 times, I checked on him and he was fast asleep. Stefen had a cheesestick snack and read a few books with me. Then it was time to pack up a bag and get our swimsuits on to go to swim lessons. Victor was still sleeping at 11:15 and so I had to wake him up so he could go swimming at 11:30, but he only cried for a minute and then sat contentedly in his carseat with a bottle the whole drive to swim lessons. Swim lessons were fun. I got in with them and we really enjoyed ourselves. Stefen wasn't too happy about going home, but after a few minutes, he got over his bad mood and was back to being pretty happy. For lunch we had carrot sticks, banana, turkey, fruit snacks, and organic cheetos. Oh! And fresh grown watermelon, which was delicious. After lunch I did the dishes and the kids played with their toys. By this point, it was 1:25 and the kids were both really tired, so I put on a show for them. I hate plunking them in front of movies, but they were totally exhausted. Their mom came home at 1:50 and I went home pretty shortly after.

At 2:30 I went and had my hair done and my eyebrows waxed. It was beyond the time I needed to get done.

For the rest of the day I've been pretty lazy, I'll probably hit the gym after supper.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE WILKINSON QUINTS!!!
