The weekend
We had a pretty good weekend. We had planned on doing some spring cleaning but after working out, watching basketball, the sunny weather yesterday and Chuck’s baseball draft we didn’t get much done. We only got our room cleaned up and then decided we deserved to go out to dinner (again).
We are really the worst about going out on the weekends. We keep saying we are going to only go out once to save money and eat better but inevitably come Friday we are ready for a treat. Then Saturday just feels like a night you should go out, so we succumb and it is fun. The boys are always so great when we go out to dinner it is hard not to want to go.
We have been good about working out though so hopefully that will offset it a bit. I joined LA Fitness, yes I am a sell out to the big chain, because they have great childcare. I can drop them off any time for one monthly fee. Plus they love it. I have been working out about 5 times a week, bring the boys about 3 times a week. I feel much better since I started about a month ago. Chuck has also been getting up early in the morning to go to the gym or go running.
Boys update: Colin was really into playing baseball over the weekend. He has a great swing. We were in the backyard yesterday using 4 real softballs and a wiffle ball. He would connect with the softballs but they wouldn’t go far, however when I pitched him a wiffle ball and he hit it, it would fly. He almost knocked me over and did knock my glasses off one time. Holden also has a great stance but has a little more trouble hitting the ball, but he sure is cute when he tries.
Holden has been trying to speak a lot more now and is getting better I think. He uses tone and inflection all the time. He is starting to get really mad at me when I don’t understand him. He is so cute when you aren’t watching because he plays with his little animals and makes them talk to each other. I found him in his room the other day with his puppy who was tucked in with a blanket and pillow and Holden was reading him a story. Adorable.
Both Colin and Holden love to tell jokes at dinner. Virtually all of them knock-knock jokes and none of them make any sense. Especially Holdens – but he laughs so hard afterwords it his hilarious. I took a video of it:
BTW..Holden tried to crawl out of his crib for the first time and also decided (for the first time) he wasn’t going to take a nap today. It figures because just yesterday we said how easy he was to put down for his nap…always happens that way.
