Storms-a-brewin'

After two absolute scorcher days over the weekend that looked like this;

We woke up to an eerie thunder/ lightening storm this morning.. Quite the contrast. 

Isn't it funny how the weather can often completely rule your mood? As soon as we saw sunshine on Saturday I felt elated, energetic, and itching to get into the ocean. And now today, all I want to do is drink tea and watch animated movies with the darls. Mother Nature is a powerful old broad. 

Despite wanting to imprint my ass to the couch, I won't. After two weeks of limited exercise, and unlimited food- the kids and I will be headed straight to the gym this morning to get back into routine. I'm actually thrilled at the thought. So much so that I can't decide what I want to do today, as I want to do it all! Cardio, swim, weights, hiit, yoga?!! Yikes! The options are endless. 

**fast forward to Tues morning**

Wow I really don't know what happened there. I must have veered off track and completely forgotten I was midway through a post. That's Mum life in a nutshell for you. 

The gym was spectacular, the rest of the day was average. However, the storm simmered down and we have blue skies and vit D galore today! 

On the agenda today is a lollipops date with Noah & Mikayla, a hunt for some flash cards, something delectable and different for dinner that I am still unsure of what will be at this point in time, aaaand setting up camp for our wee Meg who is very nearly ripe for our picking! Yahoo!

Oh, and this baby bloke is 8 months old;

8 months, 4 teeth, 8 arm rolls, 2 chins, 2 knee rolls, and 1 hilarious personality. He is really starting to charm the pants off us lately, bopping away to music, and laughing right on cue. (It's good that someone thinks my jokes are funny around here). This morn I had a moment where I thought to myself, shit we are beyond fortunate to have these two bonny babes in our lives. Despite all the lows, the highs are infinitely more memorable. Before we know it, this one will be a whole year old, and I'll have two walking, talking terrors on my hand, so I'm going to try to savour the next few months that I have with my baby before life gets even more hectic (is that possible? I shudder at the thought...) baby leashes are still not off the cards folks, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Better scoot, I hear a squawking coming from the realms of baby kingdom (the other end of the house)

Sayanora!

Thought of the day "yee old dinner dilemma, we meet again. What the fuck should I cook tonight?"
