Today is Day 6. The workout routines were supposed to start the cycle over again with Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I was really looking forward to seeing how much more (if any) I would improve from the first time around. Well....
Today was also the St. Patrick's Day parade in Girardville. Elton rounded up all but one kid (Parker) and headed out to his friend Brian's house to watch the parade, eat, spend lots of money on lots of useless toys, and have fun. Once they all left, I straightened up the living room, dusted and vacuumed, etc. etc. Then, jumped in the shower. Then, I got some company!!
There is this boy and girl that I was so excited to meet for the first time. They are the sweetest 3 month old twins!! They spent the day at my house so their mommy and daddy can have a little break and enjoy themselves for a little while. (Not that they don't enjoy themselves with the babies.... shoot. That is worded way wrong.) Anyway, the babies hung out at my house for the day.
It was so nice having babies around again. Parker always seems so tiny to me, but today he really seemed like such a big boy. He had his moments of jealousy, but not too bad. He even showed the babies off to my dad. (Went next door, and brought him over just to show him the babies.) And once all the older kids got home, they all kind of flocked to the babies, and just stared at them. Parker is only 3 (well, almost 4) but to those guys, 4 years a long time ago. So, they didn't really remember Parker being a baby! Alex even made a comment about always wanting a baby around...... to which, I had to remind him that we DID. Haha! But, like I said, that must seem like such a long time ago to them.
The babies stayed here with us until about 11 this evening. I gotta tell ya, as much as I miss having babies, it was pretty nice to be able to give these guys back at the end of the day. I really enjoyed having them here. They had that new baby smell to them!! Feeding and changing and holding them, and watching them fade in and out of sleep, and trying to look around... it was really really nice, and I very much enjoyed it. But, I guess you don't mind all the work you have to put into a baby, when you know it's only for a certain set amount of time. Hehe. :))
So, thank you for the wonderful visit today!! Unfortunately, there was absolutely NO time to get this work out in. Again, I know that sounds like an excuse. But, the day just got away from me again today. So now, tomorrow, I will do today's workout. Sunday's are supposed to be a "rest" day, so I will just count that as today instead. This will then put me in a 7 day stretch, but, I am up to the challenge. Hopefully, I don't find any more distractions to keep me from it.
