Relaxing Saturday at home

Guess what we did today? Nothing! It was great! Well, not NOTHING...I don't think our family is capable of that, but we didn't have things all day long scheduled! Justin had skating this morning and he did GREAT! He improved so much from the first two weeks! Then we went grocery shopping and went home. Once the boys were both napping I went to the Riverplex to work out...I say "workout" but I don't think that what I'm doing qualifies as that yet. I am only walking on the track and doing 5/10 pound free weights. I don't want to jump in and kill myself and not want to go back. So I figure that something is better than nothing! I was still sore today, so I'm getting something back in shape - other than round I hope!

Things around our house are starting to calm down a little bit. Mason is getting into more of a routine. He is still a bit more challenging than Justin was. We are realizing how spoiled we were with Justin! Mason is just not as content to be left alone on the floor or in his swing as his big brother was; he loves to be held! That's okay though...we love holding him :) It just means that cleaning, cooking and other things around the house seem to take 100 times longer to do or don't get done at all. I need to learn to be okay with everything not clean or in it's place, but I'm not good at that!

Here are some pictures from around the house today - enjoy!

Here are some of Mason just chilling while Daddy & Justin play Wii...I got a little camera happy :) It was funny becuase I took the one of both boys and then I went to take more of Mason and Justin said "Hey - you forgot to put me in the picture" :) Love him!





When Justin was born, Gramma & Papa got him a cloud blanket and then when Justin got older he called it his "Airplane Smoke" blanket because we'd alway look in the sky for gramma's airplane. I put it in Mason's room since it doesn't even cover Justin's legs anymore, but he took it back out and said he wanted that to be his blanket and we could buy a new one for Baby Mason. I know my mom looked all over and couldn't find another one, so when I saw this one I had to get it! Now Justin has his "airplane smoke" one and Mason has one with actual airplanes :)
Justin washing Mason's feet at bathtime. He wanted to "help" and I figured this was the safest job :) He's such a good big brother!

Here is a video of Justin explaining the "Helper Chart" that they use for school. Have I mentioned how much we love Ms. Ericka & Ms. Stephy? They have so many good ideas and take such good care of our kids :) I'll have to do a tour of the "school room" one of these days :)
