7 Quick Takes

-1-

The mornings have been so cool these past few days and it has been so nice!  the boys have been playing out on the porch and I leave the door open and the fans on.  It certainly is refreshing after the past months of AC and humidity.  However, I have heard that the humidity is coming back this weekend so that's going change.  But I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I love anything that has to do with baking.  I bought two baking cook books at Ross yesterday simply for the pleasure of looking through them and hopefully baking from them some day.  I love baking but the problem is, there is no one to share the completed product with and Gabe and I usually end up eating the entire creation by ourselves which is not so good.  It only I had a faster metabolism.

This afternoon I am hoping to get my Gator1 card.  Then I will be able to sign up for the UF gym.  I just canceled my other gym membership so I need to start going there ASAP .  I hate dieting and I don't know how to lose these last 20 lbs that I've had for the last 3 years since having Elias.  Hopefully they will be off by the time Kieran turns 1 so that gives me 3 1/2 months.  It has been distressing me greatly.

I have really been enjoying Elias grow up.  He is out of that "terrible twos" stage and has really started to be a delightful, lovable little boy.  He is so much easier to reason with and not as picky as he used to be.  I love hearing him talk and it's fun to see what new things he will say.

That being said, Aidan is turning 2 next month and he has started to become a little more difficult.  He is very loud, has started to become much more picky.  He still will cuddle but not as much.  He is still so cute though and I know he will grow out of it.

I desperately want my mother to come and visit soon so she can help me decorate my house!  Not only that of course, but we would love to see her and the boys would have so much fun seeing Nana!  We probably won't be able to go back that way until next Summer because tickets are just too expensive over winter break.  I miss my whole family and it's been so much fun having people come visit.  We welcome visitors anytime!

Aidan is STILL sleeping and it is 8:10.  That is very unusual for him.  Well, he did go to bed at 10 last night.  Elias has been up for about an hour.  Gabe has been going in to work later and it's been so nice sleeping in until 7:30.  When he would go in to work at 6, the boys would hear him and wake up too.  So I am really enjoying this "sleeping in"
