Hello Tuesday!

Yesterday was delightful and, unfortunately, I did not blog about it so here it is…

Started the day with the usual: Scottish oatmeal, almond butter, & granola with a plum on the side and a small glass of OJ.

Had a few errands to run with the boys and afterwards rewarded their good behavior with a trip to the Windsor Town Green to play.  They had a great time on the playground. Then they spotted the candy shop. It really is a neat store (retro and stuffed with candy) so I decided to go along with it. I told each boy they could pick out one thing.  One settled on gummy worms and the other bubble gum tape.  I picked up my favorite chocolate bar (Ritter Sport Praline) and shared half with the boys.  That was a milestone!  I don't buy candy bars often, but when I do, I usually keep it all for myself, enjoying it after the boys have gone to bed.  It was nice to share it and they enjoyed it, too.

We then played on the playground and in the water and meet up with Amma (what the boys call my mom) for lunch.  The boys shared a kids’ meal (it’s amazing how almost all kids’ meal serve 2 kids!) and my mom and I shared a burrito with a side of rice and beans.  It was the perfect amount of food and was so good!  Afterwards my mom treated us to frozen yogurt.  It was a serve yourself kind of place and the cups were huge!  I asked if they had any smaller sized cups and lo and behold, they did behind the counter.  We all ate a child-sized portion.  The boys had so much fun pulling the lever and seeing their cups fill with frozen yogurt.  Fun.

Being little hams while eating their yogurt.

Dinner was leftovers from a delicious turkey lasagna that my good friend (hi Morvarid!) made for me when I was recovering from surgery.  I portioned it out and froze it and we’ve enjoyed 4 meals from the one lasagna.  The boys liked it so much they asked for seconds and said the love lasagna.  Note to self: make lasagna more often.

 I hope you all enjoyed your Monday!  Forgot to take pics of my breakfast, but it was the usual oatmeal concoction, except I ate it at my desk.  And, I had a Trader Joe’s non-fat pomegranate Greek yogurt at home this morning while I got ready for work.  On to a busy day!  See you at lunch!
