Back To Breakfast

This morning while Dad broke down wine boxes in the garage, I made pancakes, eggs, hash browns, bacon, smoothies and toast. We all sat down for breakfast together once again.  I have been slacking in the “Family breakfast” department for about a week. No excuse for that…laziness on my part, but I am back on track.  We ate, we chatted about the day to come…the boys are begging to take a Karate class offered by the school from 2:45-3:45 it’s only $20. per kid, but we are trying to figure out the finances and more importantly if the boys are responsible enough to come home, have a snack, do homework and head off to soccer on one of the 5 days of Karate. Dad and I are discussing this today…

Our oldest has his last CSAP testing this morning, thus the huge breakfast. The school sent home another reminder to have the children well fed and well rested for the tests…we are 2 for 2..yea!!

I threw the ball for our critters yesterday, threw the boxes from the kitchen into the garage(My man had to break them down)cleaned up the kitchen, did the laundry with help from my sweet husband, took the boys for a mile walk, dropped them at Uncle T’s and Aunt Blondie’s house to watch a show they had taped and then sat on the couch. NO energy. The dust bunnies and dog hair won out yesterday, but I am on the hunt today!!

Dad and I started a new work out program…can you even believe we are trying a NEW program? Anyway, Uncle T gave PX90(A90 day program) to us about a year ago and we have made a commitment to each other to do this for the 90 days and check out the results.  Of course we will keep you apprised of our successes and our failures should there be any.  We just finished the first workout and we both thought it would be much more difficult than it was….I’m sure tomorrow’s will be a shock.

It is a gorgeous day, so we are going to do some spring cleaning and open the windows to let in the glorious fresh air…..dust bunnies beware!! Do you ever feel like you are drowning in “Stuff”? Our “Stuff” has surpassed my shoulders and is quickly engulfing my entire being.  Where is that “De-clutter Your Life” book when you need it? Oh Yes, under all the “Stuff”.

The boys both have their first soccer practices  tonight at 2 different times on 2 different fields…let the fun begin!!  They both have such a great time and get such amazing exercise…they literally run for over an hour. There is nothing better than happy, sweaty, tired little boys. Not so little anymore, but they will always be little boys to me even when they pass the 6ft mark…..which may be next summer judging by the height of their Uncle and their Dad.

We are all missing Grandma Lulu. Our oldest asked if we could go down to Arizona and stay with her over spring break and our youngest asked if we could bring her home.  So, Lulu we are all thinking of you and missing you. Your driveway makes me lonesome for you every time I go past.

We are also missing my Mom, I talk with her on the phone quite often,but miss being able to just go over and hang out. Going down to the neighbor’s house on a daily basis is making me realize how much I miss everyone.  We are heading to my Mom’s for her 80th “Birthday Bash” in April.  BIG PARTY!! The boys are so excited, even more so that we will be traveling by air instead of by car.  We went back for Easter last year and for the most part drove straight through. We drove for three hours the first night and stopped at a Hotel with a pool for the kids to enjoy and then we were off the the next 15  until we got there. Too much time in a car for Mommies and little boys. Hurray for plane tickets!!!!

Gram”A”is also a topic of discussion these days. We are all missing her too. Questions, Questions.  When is she coming to visit again? When will we be on her boat again? Where does your(My)sister live…when will we see her? And the questions keep coming….I’ll fill you all in on my DNA pool someday. I am truly thrilled that we are going to get to see a lot of you in April!!! Milestone birthdays are great things!!!

I better get “The Show On The Road” as my dear old Dad says…

Just another side note…I’m thankful that God is watching over my WOSF and SLOL plus her furry companion…and the rest of us of course!

God Bless,
