Day Two

Day two of our new schedule was much better. Of course ask me in two weeks, when Aubrie starts gymnastics again. Ben had the kids off to school early and Ethan didn't wake up until 8:30. I was able to get in 20 minutes of DDR for some exercise. (I bought a jump rope today for an even better work out!) I spent the rest of the morning getting some church stuff done and Ethan spent most of his time playing with his cars....his new favorite pastime. Finally around 1:00 we left to do some grocery shopping and to get Ethan a lunchbox for preschool. He picked out a Superman Lunchbox and was very excited to show Aubrie and Boston.
While we were at Walmart Ethan informed me that we needed to get chips. When we got to the chip isle I asked him to pick out any kind he wanted. He put his finger to his chin and started tapping it and then said "hmmm....what to do?". How cute is that, out of a 3 year old at least? Then when we got to the car he wanted me to get something for him while I was driving. I told him that I couldn't b/c I was driving and he did the same thing ( tapping his chin) and said "hmm I have an idea". He was on a roll!
We went straight to school from Walmart to pick up the kids. When we got home Boston was so good, going straight to his chores, homework and piano. Aubrie, on the other hand, took FOREVER. Of course her homework took a little longer, but it took her two hours to finish everything. After their responsibilities they all played cars and babies upstairs for over an hour. They are playing so nice now that school is back in. I'm really enjoying it. Wish it were like that all summer!:) Before they went to bed we took in a 30 minute swim. Sophia joined us and cried when we took her out. She LOVES the water!
