Well, last night went really well here. I opened up the pumpkin from Halloween, took out all the seeds and made toasted pumpkin seeds in the oven. There wen't that many seeds though, but that was ok. Maddy went to sleep on her own which is fabulous. She didn't want to go to sleep until almost 8:45 though. She had a fun bath. She loves her baths. After her bath and bed, Matt and I started a fire in the chimnea and opened a bottle of wine. We finished all the pumpkin seeds in one night! By the time we got to bed it was almost 11:30! Obviously, I didn't set my alarm for 6 this morning.
Maddy woke up about 8:30 and wasn't ready for a nap until 11. I did get a couple cute videos and pictures of her this morning though. You can see them on our photo gallery. She is virtually impossible to get video of because she sees the camera going and will come to see it. I did get a nice 4 minute video of her playing (throwing) her books.
She only napped for about an hour. That's pretty short for her. I was able to get in my work out and shower before she was up. I was getting dressed and that's when I started hearing her. I made the mistake yesterday of not stretching after my work out. I started a load of laundy before my work out and then it finished during, so I decided to go hang out laundry instead of stretching. Time is of the essence when Maddy is sleeping! I did my crunches and push ups during her second nap, but you can't replace stretching right after a work out! So my legs were tight today.
Today Maddy surprised me! I decided to try my hand at sorting pomagranite seeds from the rind in the kitchen while Maddy was playing by the gate. She played in my eye sight for over 10 minutes without complaining that I was in the kitchen. THAT is truly amazing. Normally, if I try to step foot in the kitchen she's all the gate whining at me.
Well, she's down for her second nap now. I cut up mixed peppers and onions for our Western style omeletes. We'll add in some cheese and cooked turkey bacon and that will be dinner. We haven't gone grocery shopping for a while, so it's breakfast for dinner tonight! Last night was grilled cheese and soup. I didn't bother making a menu last weekend and it's really come to haunt me. So this weekend I'll make a menu and plan my grocery list around it (like I normally do). I see better meals in our future next week!
