Got Stuff Done

Dearest Angels~

Today is (Great) Uncle Laurence's birthday.  He and Gigi are three years apart (she's younger) but almost born on the same day!  

You all were awake at 6:45am this morning.  I guess that's better than prior mornings.  :-P

Before it got really hot out, we went for a walk this morning.  We did our usual route past the shops and back .... about 2.5 miles.  Grace, you fell asleep in the wagon.

Once we were back, we had a quick snack and then headed to Target for groceries.  You two ate a few cookies and then fell asleep on the ride home.  You stayed sleeping as we unloaded the groceries .... we placed you two on pillows in the living room.

While you two napped, we knocked out a few more chores around the house.  We ....

*vacuumed and swept the downstairs
*programmed the garage door openers in the van
*set up a picture of you two as my 'wallpaper' in the van
*vacuumed and swept the upstairs including the bonus room
*took out the trash in the house
*did several loads of laundry .... this went on all evening too  ;-)
*backed up the laptop

Grace woke up as we were working, but Joshua continued to nap.  She ate a little and then played around.

We made a great dinner!  We had potatoes au gratin, spinach salad, with roasted corn and butternut squash.  Yummm!  You two poo-poo'd it though.  Grace, you did eat some corn.  Joshua, you ate leftovers. 

We all played downstairs after since it was cooler than upstairs.  You all rolled and passed balls back and forth with us.  Once it wasn't so hot, we played upstairs and then headed to bed.  I hope this heat doesn't late much longer.  I'm tired of the highs being over 100 degrees.  

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
