I was out of sorts all day today. It was really strange having Christian home with us all day. I definitely wasn’t as productive as I normally would be on my day off, and all day long I thought it was Saturday. We spent the morning just kind of hanging out, not really doing much. Had some breakfast, watched a little TV, played for a while. Pretty low key.

My weigh in today wasn't great, I gained again. Two weeks in a row! Ugh. I know that when I start a workout I seem to gain at first while my body adjusts, so hopefully that's the issue. Still frustrating though. I'm still down over 34lbs total, so not too shabby. Just need to kick it into gear!

We put the girls down for a pretty early nap in preparation for our afternoon plans. When they woke up, I took them to one of those indoor “bounce house” playgrounds in Shakopee. I bought a “Groupon” for this place months ago, and it was expiring soon. It was good for three jumps/three kids, so we invited Olivia’s BFF, Bella, to join us. We met Bella and her mom, Sara, there around 3:00 and they ran, jumped and wore themselves out for a while. Sara and I chatted and chased them around. It’s fun watching the girls all play together and see how they interact with each other. Reminds me of how much they are growing up, that’s for sure.

Once they were good and tired, we made our way home. Traffic was horrible, so it took forever, and the girls were getting really antsy for some reason. They’ve both always done really well in the car…they never really whine or anything like that (besides fight and bug each other, of course). This has happened a couple times recently, so I’m hopefully it’s not a new trend with them. I do need to work on stocking the car with some toys and books though. We’re pretty anti-TV/DVD in the car, so I’m hoping we don’t have to resort to that down the road.

We ended up just picking up Christian and going to Applebee’s for dinner. I’m so behind on grocery shopping, and we were just in the mood for a dinner out. The girls took their bath and went to bed shortly after we got home from dinner. Christian and I finally had our movie night. BUT, he wasn’t happy with my movie selection of “The Hunger Games”, and I wouldn’t budge on it, so he ended up falling asleep pretty much right away in protest. Oh well, his loss, because of course it was pretty good. I’m excited to see where the series goes.

Here are a few shots of the girls playing today. Of course the lighting was horrible, so they aren’t good quality by any means, but they are still pretty cute.
