Dentist Appointments

I have 30 minutes before the twins come off the bus.  Today I had a the day off so I could go to a dentist appointment.  I did some errands and cleaning in the morning and then baskets of laundry in the afternoon.  Next time I will have Mike take the day off and we can do lunch with afternoon drinks. 

Here is a quick five things that I am grateful for in the past few days....

1. Monday hit hard...

....but that is because we had a great weekend.  Nothing extra fabulous happened this weekend but it was sunny, we were busy, and we had lots of time to enjoy each other.  Mike started the playhouse, we had a fire on Sunday, the boys painted, Jack took GREAT naps, we grilled both nights, we ate lots of sweets, I worked on my garden boxes..... the list goes on and on.  

Monday morning was a slap back into reality.  It seemed worse than normal.  I don't like to be "that" person but goodness, I am looking forward to the weekend.

2. Swim Lessons
The boys started lessons again after having a week off. I tried to sign them up on day at the YMCA for the same Wednesday evening class but the lady who was working the computer was not lining up with my patience level.  I decided to put it off.  When I finally got around to it yesterday at work the class was full.  I was irritated.  They had two openings in the Monday class.  I was able to go last night because of our busy ass schedule AND I actually like these two teachers MORE.  I must say -- I don't love the YMCA in general but I am impressed with their swim classes.  ALSO -- Cameron and Owen were the youngest in their class.  It made me a bit proud.

3. Luke

I think that it is time that I officially put Luke on the list.  There are multiple reasons why I love Luke but the number one reason is that he keeps Mike happy.  They shoot in their free time, they work on cars together AND they do updates to our house.  This weekend Luke and Mike worked on the playhouse and it's going to turn out awesome.  Grateful that he is our neighbor and such a good friend.

4.  Jack has a voice
And he found it.  Many times the younger sibling sits back and watches (or at least that is what I hear) well not Jack.  Don't get me wrong, Jack sits back and watches but he also talks really loudly and wants to be in the middle and a part of EVERYTHING.  holy moly-- please slow down time.

5.  The Amazing Race
Has this made the list...probably.  Mike and I don't sit and watch a lot of TV.  I have my normal trash TV that I watch when folding clothes and I think he watches Mike and Mike in the morning...I am not even sure... Anyways, we don't watch a lot of TV...BUT we do watch the Amazing Race together.
