My day wasn't nearly as active as yours, but I did get in 3 hours of work this morning. I just got DD down for a nap too and so you aren't drinking alone, I cracked open a lemon shandy which I will enjoy on the back patio in the sun. Cheers!
I did three loads of laundry, cleaned my bathroom, scrubbed the kitchen counters down, hung up a mountain of clothing in DS's bedroom, dusted the living room and family room, and swept all the non-carpeted rooms. H is cleaning his bathroom, vacuuming the whole house, and mowing the lawn. So I feel accomplished, but like I've wasted a beautiful day! Fortunately we get to head outside soon.

I'm feeling really good about today too despite not getting any cleaning done yet. Successfully did a solo kids outing, ate a nice healthy lunch, and DH and I are being extra nice to each other.
I wish we lived closer to a zoo, I think J would love it. Closest one is 45 minutes away.
I have not killed today, lol. I ran a load of laundry though the washer but not the dryer and made a frittata for breakfast. But J is napping in his bed, so that makes the day a 100 percent success.
I feel good too. We went to Target for some things, went to Sears to pick up C's bedfeame, box spring, and mattress, had lunch out (where I didn't cheat on low carb), and went to Home Depot for mulch, blinds, grub killer, and grass seed. Plus C did all this in underpants with no accidents!

I went for a breakfast play date with two friends, church, lunch at Tim Hortons then during nap time, I made freezer burritos and burrito bowls for tonight.
Just waiting for dd to wake up then we'll head to a park.
I'm in full on nesting mode and constantly adding stuff to my to do list though.
We are doing pretty good, too! I got up with the boys and managed to get everyone to eat eggs, fruit, and turkey sausage for breakfast (minus fruit for DS2) instead of begging for waffles or dougnuts. The kids rode bikes in the cul de sac while I put away like three loads of laundry (sadly there's still more to go--we got a little behind). After DH got up we packed a picnic and took it to a park by a lake to eat, then hiked around and let the boys collect ladybugs and splash on the rocks. I feel like we are being relatively wholesome and productive!
Now I am sitting at Sonic enjoying my half-price Happy Hour Diet Coke before getting groceries. DH leaves tonight for several days OOT, so I am building some extra me time into afternoon errand running
Another productive day over here. Cleaned up from DD's party yesterday, put spaghetti sauce on the stove to simmer all day. Put2 loads of laundry away, did 3 more loads, stuffed diapers, got some yard sale stuff together AND went for a run.
I feel like in finally coming out of the 1st trimester coma so I have to take advantage of this energy before it goes away again, lol.

We need to get to the zoo too. I use to live by it and would hear the monkeys all the time. swizz ,chickens987
Had a good workout, breakfast and a walk by the water, birthday party where M wore himself out and I got to chat with my neighbors. M is now crashed out napping and I prepped my lunches for the week, vacummed and threw a load of laundry in. I should clean out the garage but instead I am sitting on the deck enjoying the beautiful day. Been a good day overall and maybe capped off with some friends coming over later depending on how they are feeling. She just had a baby a couple weeks ago.

I don't know if I knew that! I grew up a 10 minute walk away. I am pretty sure I've never gone east of the pandas, because we always entered at the bottom of the hill.

We decided it was 'spring cleaning day' so I:
-did three loads of laundry -washed all the windows, inside and out - dusted the whole house - cleaned the bathrooms including scrubbing the tub - vacuumed - swept - helped DH build swingset platform
DH did a ton outside
We are exhausted, but feel great as our next few weekends are super busy and we are hosting a lot.
I cleaned one of our bathrooms, did 2 loads of laundry, power washed about 20% of our house and all of the kids outdoor toys, pulled weeds, put down some gravel in the part of our driveway that does not have asphalt, went to Lowe's, cleaned our living room, bathed 2 fighting toddlers, mowed 2/3rds of the lawn (DH helped) raked up some junk, and am off to pack lunches.
