7:15 Drop off

Ariel was not too excited about breakfast. She had a couple pieces of waffle and some yogurt.

8:40 Left for stroller class.

9:00 Stroller class was super fun today. We've been walking outside this month, up until today. Today was too chilly, so we were inside running up and down escalators and stairs. Luckily the escalators turned on before we could complete our full circuit, but I bet we did 12 laps, including 5 on the super long stairway. We also did lots of lunges and bicep curls and my arms are tired just typing this. Around 9:30 We ran into Grandpa and Hannah. Grandpa did not work out with the Mommies, but he did hang out with the kids. Alex and Ariel did fine, except for Ariel tripping on the stone floor and getting an ouchie. I solved that with a Clifford bandaid on her forearm. I don't think her forearm was actually hurting, but that's where she wanted the bandaid and she did stop crying.

Alex was being shy with 4 year old Gwen who is usually at preschool. And then at the very end he was sad that he didn't get to play. I don't think Gwen and Lilly even noticed Alex hiding in the couch cushions for an hour.

10:40 After class we went upstairs and had some FREE pizza. It was FREE because the restaurant didn't have their cash registers on yet. I thought about paying on my way out, but figured we'll be having lunch enough as it is at the mall. And speaking of pizza, I was adventurous and had eggplant/tomato. And it was surprisingly good. Ariel shared some of Alex's pizza and then burned off all those calories running around and around and around the table.

11:15 Left a tad late to pick up Adam. Ariel fell asleep immediately.

11:35 Picked up the Adam.

11:45 Dropped off the Alex.

Adam and I went home and he had lunch. Ariel stayed asleep and transfered to bed. Then Adam and I laid down for a nap. I haven't had coffee in 4 days now. It makes me tired.

1:15 Ariel woke up so I had to get up too. Lucky Adam got to keep sleeping.

Ariel had a little lunch. Grapes (see, grapes!)



And then a graham cracker.

Then she was just being silly:



2:20 Had to wake Adam so we could go get Alex.

2:35 Picked up Alex. We stayed on the playground for about an hour later, with Riley. Ariel spent most of that time on the swing. She's a nut:



3:40 Got home. Another quick snack of go-gurt.

3:50 Put on some Blue's Clues.

4:10 Pick up. Ariel was not happy to have to leave Blue.
