Enjoying some much needed baby time!

Okay, so I know they're not technically babies anymore, but they'll always be MY babies.

I've got the rest of the week off, so I'm keeping the babies home with me. It's yucky and cloudy and overcast, but not rainy, so if it stays dry, we're taking a wagon ride later. They LOVE going for walks in the wagon, Daisy trotting along side. We usually walk down to the lake and back (about a mile each way) and look at the geese and boats out on the lake. OUR boat is getting put in this week too, so as soon as we get the tags, we will be out there with them! We can't WAIT to get out on the water, the kids too. Brady and Maddie keep asking for their boat. "Where's my boat?" whenever we drive past the marina.

I could SO do this stay-at-home-mom stuff. I love it. But I guess I can't let 10 years of education go to waste, huh? That and Glynn's not about to let me take any time off during the first year or so of our practice, so I'd better enjoy it now. What a slavedriver. :-)

We've got some art projects planned for today and a great family nap. (I'm still jet-lagged....see Twitter updates). Poor Glynn had to go into work today AND has to weigh-in and do his bike test for the PRT. That sucks. But he's ready for it. He's been working out like a fiend, even in Hawaii, he'd get up early and be in the gym.

My segway back into vegetarianism is going well, I already feel better. Being a vegetarian, for me, is more about healthier food choices than just an avoidance of meat. (Even though that goes with the territory). It forces you to eat more organically, which I try to do anyway, but the meal planning is healthier, in general, and menu choices when going out to eat are on the lighter side, typically. I'm very thankful that my hubby is not picky and my kids are pretty good eaters who like the healthy stuff too. Last night, they gobbled up my whole-wheat Mediterranean pasta with organic veggies, and even scarfed down the salmon I had made on the side for them! They go through phases, but I'm happy to have good eaters for the most part.

I need to go make breakfast for babies and then we have a reading date in the corner "mommy" chair. I missed them so much. I love being a mommy.
