On the Move Monday!

My morning started at 730, I got up early and got a 15 minute ab workout in before I got ready for my Mom's group. The morning ran pretty smoothly I remembered to get the kids their medicine and also remembered to bring their juice cups. On our way to church we stopped and got donuts. Since we missed church yesterday I felt it was fair to stop today. It was a nice quiet drive in to church, with the kids munching happily! I had a great time with my Mom's group and afterward the kids and I went to the library to play for a bit. At 1130 it was time for us to go eat some lunch. The kids had chicken strips and potato wedges and I had a hot ham and cheese. It was so yummy! I also picked up a salad and soup to go and brought it home for dinner. Also very yummy! After lunch we took Jonathon to school. When Mikayla and I got home I did a 40 minute workout and she joined in! After my workout I got to talk to Todd on the computer for a bit and then got right back to my 3rd and final workout for the day. Since I was in workout mode I decided that I would give walking the dogs to school to pick up Jonathon a chance. It turns out with the new gadget on Bruce that the hardest thing about walking the dogs is actually walking a 2yr old! :) Mikayla would lag behind then try to run and catch up and trip and fall. And if she wasn't lagging behind she was walking at a snails pace in front of the dogs. Dogs only have 2 speeds walk or run, they don't understand dragging their paws. But we made it to school just as Jonathon's class was coming out and lining up. And then we started our walk back. If I thought walking a 2yr old was hard a 4yr old who's tired from a day of school is just as slow! We made if home FINALLY! And we all enjoy a rest for about 30 minutes. Then I talked to my mom on the phone while I sat out of the front porch letting the kids play. While we were talking Mom asked me why I was making the kids walk? Why not take the stroller? My answer was logical because the kids don't get a lot of exercise and walking a mile on a beautiful day would do them good. And besides I can't walk the dogs with the stroller. We got off the phone and I started to ponder about walking the dogs with the stroller. With my new little gadget for Bruce and the fact that he can't pull I began to think it may be possible. Well just pondering about an idea doesn't prove it right or wrong, so I decided we would test it out. Getting out the door was the hardest part. But once we were out and going it went so smoothly! I was so proud of my little family! The kids were told that they had to stay in the stroller and they did. I didn't have to yell at anyone to get out of the street or off someone's yard! It was so peaceful! The dogs didn't pull and I rather enjoyed going for the second walk! After our walk we came home made some noodles for the kids for dinner and watched a little tv. Now it's 730 and bed time is just around the corner! I can't wait! :) I hope you all have a great night! Talk to you tomorrow!
