Just another day. . .

Well, nothing great and exciting happened today. Got some bushes trimmed a little, deadheaded the bulbs, and Jax enjoyed an hour or so outside - he LOVES to escape outside any time he can. I was actually thinking today what it was like for Jonah and Eli at one year old, as we were in our condo in Orange County, with no yard to play in. They only got out if I went out, and there was really no where to play right outside. And it doesn't hurt that Jax is a great kid - when we're out front, if he goes to far and I call him, he comes running back to me. He loves to stay with Jonah and Eli when they're outside, so if I can get them back, he's right there. Eli is my eternal homebody, but I did get him off to My Gym today. He was very good - and I got a 30 minute walk in - Jax enjoyed that, too. We finished getting all of the stuff to make Miss Sullivan's teacher appreciation basket - including the carwash certificates we got after picking up Jonah. Miss Carla, Jonah's speech person, stood us up today - it was confusing, though - we've been off for the last 3 weeks - she thought it was one more. For dinner I had some top sirloin out that I had to use today to make an allrecipes.com recipe titled Oxacan Tacos. Now, if you click and link to this - you will be amazed to find my review stating the kids actually liked it. However, as stated, I modified for the kids - using no jalapenos (and no onions for Eli), and added some sour cream (okay, a ton of sour cream for Eli) and cheese to theirs - but Jonah was asking me just for the plain beef!! I also forgot the lime juice and cilantro - and Jax got a makeshift quesadilla and peas. We watched movies - I watched August Rush - how great a movie is that!!! And the boys watched some Dr. Suess movie. The kids went to bed about 30 minutes late - the bonus is that they went RIGHT to sleep!! Jory is away at a meeting to get his last continuing ed credits, so here I am. I will be helping at Jonah's class in the morning, so I better get some shut-eye!!
