Nap time

I have done it, I have successfully gotten both children in our house down for a nap at close to the same time. YEAH for me. I know this may seem like a small accomplishment compared to what I used to get accomplished in the work place, but it is huge for me these days!

Today was a good day for us, Miss Ella slept til 9 AM, and Luke til around 6:40. I took advantage of both of them being asleep at 7:30 and took a shower and was able to blow dry and style my hair, put on a little makeup and think about what I wanted to wear. The plan was to go to Target for a few items, and then go to StrideRite for Ella, I think her foot has grown.

We made it out the door around 10 AM, made a few needed phone calls on the way, with Ella listening to her Walkman and Luke staring out the window. We were blessed with front row parking at Target and I was able to find everything I needed it record time. 

Next was to StrideRite, where we found two pairs of shoes under $25 dollars; flip flops and a pair of Kids for Ella. Her foot has grown from 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 since May. She is wearing size 4T clothes with little wiggle room. With Luke around, it really shows that she has grown up so much and is a little girl and not my little baby anymore.  Anyway, while checking out at StrideRite I was reviewing my Target receipt and notice that I was double charged. 

No time like the present to correct this wrong, so we go back to Target (no front row parking this time) and get issued back the 12 dollars overcharged. Next stop, McDonalds for lunch and then home. 

A couple more phone calls, bottles washed, Ella had a snack, Luke fed a bottle, living room picked up by Ella and I followed with dusting, one book read to Ella in her room and off to her nap (note photo is from a month ago Ella taking a nap in our bedroom), rocked Luke to arm fell asleep- now in his crib, and here I am blogging and debating a bowel of strawberry ice cream- why not- I deserve it. 

I purchased a Swifer dry/wet mop today, might assemble and take for a spin before the kids wake up. We have tumble class for Ella and Luke and I will make a quick trip to the grocery store for milk and few other essentials. Then home for dinner and some R&R when Kyle gets home.
