Sometimes, I feel like Superwoman!
Today is one of those days!
Brad worked from home today and it was wonderful to not rush about in the morning in preparation for him to go to work and it was awesome to enjoy his company in short spurts throughout the day.
I needed to just write down how well my day went!
I got up early - about 5:45AM thanks to the smiley-est alarm clock EVER. I showered, headed downstairs for a couple of pieces of toast and to prep for morning smoothies, going off to morning prayer @ 7AM.
Back at 7:40AM, I made smoothies, and Gwen’s currently preferred breakfast: a big bowl of yogurt with berries in it and a thick slice of carrot-raisin-nut loaf smeared with butter. Brad decided to work from home and we enjoyed leisurely smoothie drinking 
I had a fabulous visit with my friend Jen and her sons Anderson & Taiten in the morning, after which a botched attempt at ordering pizza ($34 for two medium pizzas? No thanks, Pizza Pizza!) led us to enjoy eggs and toast for lunch.
Gwen went down for her nap - for the second day in a row without me sitting beside her! What a big girl she’s becoming! After her nap, Gil was asleep, so I laid him down and went with Gwen to the library - just the two of us! It was a blast!
When we came home I began dinner prep and we had delicious quesadillas. Then, Gwen and I and Gil headed to the park.
Just to re-cap:
- two loads of laundry washed, dried, & folded
- 2L of yogurt made
- 3 large loads of dishes done
- three family meals (plus toddler snacks!)
- one mommy-daughter outing
- one after-dinner trip to the park
All-in-all, I’m declaring today a complete success!

Wow…she went down for her nap ALL BY HERSELF??? Boy, if Michael did that I’d wonder where my son had gone.
Carrot-raisin-nut loaf sounds so good. With a bowl of yogurt and berries? Thanks for the great breakfast idea!

Sounds like an awesome day! Thanks for having us over, we had a great time! You’ll have to try Queen’s Pizza and Wings. Not too far from your place and their prices are great. We get 2 mediums there for around $22 and they are REALLY great pizzas.
