Well, we had a pretty busy day today! The girls were up at their normal today - no use in wishing for that blissful day when they sleep all day!

After a nice big breakfast and some getting ready, we were off for the day (which, in reality, takes us forever). Today we were off to IKEA to do some play room shopping, and I was very excited about it. The girls did really well - probably because there is so much to see and check out. We found a lot of really cute decorative stuff for the play room and some storage stuff, along with a really cute little Table and Chairs set. We got a TON of stuff, and for a really decent price.

I wanted to hit the mall after, but of course it took us forever to get through IKEA, and the girls were getting pretty antsy. So, home we went. After a quick lunch, the girls went down for their naps, and Christian and I got to work. We unloaded the truck, and started putting everything together. We got the bench/storage together, along with the table and chairs. We also put together Olivia's Princess Table and Chairs from her birthday party (the princess stuff is not going into the play room - yes, there will be a different "Princess Play Area" in the basement. The kids are literally taking over the house!). Christian also got the wood cut out for the magnet and chalk board boarders. I cannot wait to see the finished room!

The girls were finally up from their naps, and we all took it pretty easy the rest of the night. Watched some movies, and hung out. After dinner, I started washing the dishes. I didn't get too far into it before I cut my hand, pretty badly, with a kitchen knife. That was that for dish washing, and my hand was killing me the rest of the night. The whole thing felt bruised and ached. Who knew washing dishes could be so dangerous!

Before we knew it, it was time for baths and bed. We put Amelia down first tonight, and she passed right now. Bedtime went much better - we need to just make this a regular thing again. Christian and I had grand intentions of working on the play room some more after the girls went to bed...but, instead, we both passed out. Just another Saturday night in our house!

On the diet and exercise front, today was an OK day. I didn't have a scheduled workout today, and while I planned on doing my pilates or something a little less strenuous on my "break" days, I didn't feel up to it today. So, I just took the day off. Other than skipping lunch, I had a pretty well balanced diet though, so that's a plus. Way under on my calories in the end, so I'll take that.

Here are some pictures from IKEA. The girls loved it!
