Since it was too cold to play outside I had the brilliant idea of going to the grocery store! Damien and I had an understanding- if he behaved, he would receive Chick-fil-a! Seems like a pretty decent deal to me. He was an angel, naturally, and so we made our way across the street to the home of chicken goodness.
It was perfect. We had missed the rush of all the lunch goers and had the whole place to ourselves pretty much. Since it was a cold day the play area came in handy and the boys roamed free for almost an hour. I always told myself I would never allow my kids to play in those germ infested areas, but naturally I didn't have any kids when I had such ridiculous ideas. They are really starting to enjoy each other and I absolutely love watching them crack each other up.
Monday is homemade pizza night around here! Okay, we have done it a grand total of once, but I think it is a nice little tradition to start-- check in next Monday to see if that actually pans out. Anyway, it was delicious and something Damien can get involved in. He has been extremely hands on the last month or so, wanting to do everything I do whether that is cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, you name it. It's turning out to be pretty nice for me because I can give him a damp cloth and he scrubs my floors while I deal with Owen.
Monday turned out to be an a-ok day around here. Then again, Chick-fil-a can make any day an a-ok one :)
Tuesday! Or shall I say 'smoozeday.' Gah. The day that was never going to end. I'm not sure if it's because I started working out again or because JJ took my car to work due to some snow and therefore I was locked at home all day. It's not that I would have gone anywhere anyway, but just knowing that I wasn't able to made it so much harder!
We did just about everything that can be done inside: dance party, stamps, built a fort, had hot chocolate, counted in Spanish, took a bath, built block towers, played hide-n-seek, colored, read books, watch a Tom and Jerry episode, read more books, fed our fish.. Okay, you get the picture.
And for some reason that was all before 1pm! The rest of the afternoon wasn't pretty, until dinner, when I made these GLORIOUS green beans and hardly shared them with my gang.

I shouldn't act like it was the worst day. But you moms know how it is. I don't even need to say more. I did get some quality time with Damien while Owen napped which was great. We read lots of books and played trains and even did a little of 'ma scool' as he likes to call it.
All in all, it has been a pretty good start to the week :)
