It's not even 10:00....

and I've already taken a 45 minute bike ride, stopping along the way to let the kids play at the park (that was 45 minutes of riding time, I'm not sure how long we played). We took a rather hilly route, so I'm beat. We decided to ride by the State hospital grounds and look for ducks (they have a large pond in the middle of the grounds where the ducks gather). As we rode by, we noticed that most of the ducks were still sleeping.

I told the kids that they should take that as a hint - that it was way to early to be up on a Saturday morning! Both of them were bright eyed and bushy tailed at 7:00am. This was after Simon not allowing me to sleep most of the night, and Jacob waking at some point crying that he wanted to change his pajamas (still havn't figured out why). After trying desperately to get some more sleep while Brian took both of them to the living room to play, I gave up and just got up. I was already thinking of everything we had to do today.

Next on our list: trip to the butcher shop, then hopefully to Dicks Sporting Goods before lunch. After lunch will be naps for the kids, and laundry for me. Later this afternoon, the kids and I are meeting a bunch of friends for a playdate at the splash park and then McDonalds for dinner. We're going to the big on that has a huge play place so the kids can entertain themselves while we moms catch up with each other.

I'll be willing to bet that we all collapse in to bed by the end of the day!
