I'll apologize in advance for no pictures today. I'm still recovering from my vacation.

7:15 Drop off. We surprised Ariel today. The boys and I were hiding in my bed and when Ariel came in the bedroom we all jumped out and said, "Surprised!" Ariel thought it was pretty funny.

7:30 Breakfast, oatmeal AND yogurt.

I was supposed to go to stroller class today, but it was so nice and I have so much to do, I figured I could take Alex and Ariel for a walk and still have some morning left. But Alex thought he'd rather go for a bike ride and that seemed like too much work and then we sat around and read a bit (Alex is really starting to read, albeit slowly) and then we didn't have much time.

We did manage to walk up to the store to buy a few staples and some ingredients for tonight's dinner. The highlight of the store must have been the cookies, they were orange and brown instead of the usual. And Halloween was how long ago?

10:30 Got home, had lunch.

11:15 Biked to Adam's school.

11:45 Dropped Alex off on time.

12:00 After a quick bite to eat, Ariel went down for a nap. And I showered. Which was good since I hadn't showered or even bothered to change my clothes for 2 days. And yes, I just admitted that on the internet.

1:00 I had so much to do and most of it work related that the only possible course of action was to take a brief doze on the couch. Which wasn't too restful since Adam wasn't dozing with me.

But I did get some work done when I woke up.

2:25 Ariel had just woken up when it was time to get Alex.

We stayed all afternoon at the school, until the sunset (yes, at 4:10). I was prepared today and had graham crackers and water for everyone.

4:30 Pick up. And oh yeah, Ariel pooped a lot today, too. And still has baboon butt.

And Ellen, I made the black bean pumpkin soup today and it was good. Jeremy's comment was, "It's a bit bland" but I figured that's why you like it. Not everyone needs chipolte peppers every day. And hey, Alex ate his whole bowl in addition to the broccoflower he picked out at the store, so it was a good dinner all around.
