Today was a pretty typical day. Up around 7:30. Breakfast. A little cartoons. Laundry. Playing. Naptime. Bloody murder screaming in protest to naptime. Silence as naptime ensues...
After naptime we made a run to Michaels for some new stickers. They're having a sale this week on the super fancy foam stickers and I thought it was a good time to stock up. We're gearing up for Dana's Boys' Weekend, so I'm looking for some good diversions (sanity keepers) while he's gone at the cabin for the next few days.
After Michaels, we hit the gym. The monkeys for some quality playtime with "new" toys and real live kids. Me for some non-running workout time. The past two mornings the girls and I have embarked upon some killer hills and wicked hot runs in our new jogging stroller. Today, I decided my arms really needed a rest. A double stroller, 2 kids and hills are tough when they're all combined into 1 event!
The gym was a success...especially since there's a whirlpool there. Nothing more relaxing than sitting in a whirlpool and mellowing out to the sounds of about 50 8-12 year-olds in a pool and the consistent shrieks of the lifeguards' whistle...but I digress...
After the gym, we did afternoon naps. More fussing. Anni never woke up from her nap, and hopefully she'll just sleep right on through till morning. Both girls have summer colds. Abby started hers a few days ago and seems to be getting over it now. Anni just started hers today, so hopefully some extra sleep will do her well.
Abby made some very special sticker pictures for her dad tonight. One says Daddy and has pretty stickers to go along with it. The other one is a mesh of a bunch of different shapes. That one started off as Daddy's, but now it might be Lisa's. We'll see what she decides in the morning.
Well, there's a typical day for you. There was eating, sleeping, talking, playing. All the standard stuff of toddlers and almost toddlers. Who knows...tomorrow it might be the standard stuff of 2 toddlers...Anni's this close to walking.

I'm very much looking forward to my sticker picture. I'll clear a spot on the fridge for it! Also, mucho kudos on the running with a double stroller - proving once again the herculian strength of women:)
