Had a bit of time today which I should have been cleaning but I thought all you at home would enjoy this instead.
This is how we try to burn the last bit of energy before bed.

great day
Today was Noah's first music class and it was a hit, He love all the instruments and songs, and love watching the instructor play the violin too. Jonas some how manage to sleep through all the noise for the hour I don't know how but it was a great day out with the kids.
I am excited for next week where I get the green light from the doctor to start my exercise class again. Not completely sure how this will work yet. I think at the moment I will put Noah in the carrier on my back when he won't walk and Jonas in the stroller where I find it harder to carry Jonas on my front than Noah on my back. Got to love what pregnancy does to the good old abs. Anyhow I can't wait to exercise again, even though I know I have to start off slow and work my way back to where and what I could do. I am so bad at that, I just want to be at the level I stopped at. ugh no patience there. I am now a week with out chocolate too woohoo I have kicked the chocolate bug, very hard to do but Jonas helped me out a lot, now I just need to cut more sugar out of my system not that there is much left. But the chocolate is a start.
Still don't have a bike for tom yet but I am hoping soon b/c our weather has been gorgeous this week which is very nice but very bad b/c if we don't start getting rain again for a few months we are going to have huge water problem here in the summer...ugh water rationing and higher water bills not a good thing.
Not much else is going on with us. I am hoping to get out to a movie here with some friends or other mom's (might have to take Jonas with me depending on if I go with friends or other mom's from my exercise group( the movie will be in a few cities away so I wouldn't get home fast enough to feed Jonas).
Well good night folks I am hoping to sleep here soon but doubt where Jonas is a sleep now which mean he'll be up later. I must though the last two night Jonas has been a great sleeper I just hope he keeps it up and fallow in his big brother's foot steps.

A new year...
Not to much to report I have to say. I am still trying to get the juggling act around here balanced. So far kids are fine, most meals are fine, but the house is so not fine. I do a little each day but it doesn't seem like I get much progress done around here. I need to learn my mom's tricks at getting stuff done. It's been cold here and not much sun, so we haven't been able to get out much which makes me feel bad for Noah, because he's such an out doors kid. I should try and clean up the patio too so he can go out there but I never seem to get the inside done enough to make my way to the outside.
Also it hard to get around now that someone stole tom's bike off the patio, so he's has the car most days now unless I can get up and get both kids ready and drive him to work, but than it hard to get dinner ready and pick him up so we need to work something out here....don't really want to buy a new bike if it's just going to get stolen either. ...ugh more decision that have to be made, they just keep coming up and they all involve money, which is so lovely.
Lets see right now my heads spinning with lots of how to do this and what to do about this..Like:
1. will we be able to move??? as the date is getting closer to the renew of our lease, the end of April it's looking like we might have to rent a storage unit put stuff in that and buy bunk beds for Noah and Jonas b/c the house and renting market is just not where we want/need it to be but we'll have to wait and see how much they jack up our rent here first(got to love how they do that each yr) and go from there.
2. Buy a bike for tom and than where do we keep it, is locking it up on the patio enough or will they figure out a way to even get it than.
3. Do we have to buy another stroller...ugh this is why I didn't want to rush into one last yr b/c I knew this was going to happen this year. So what to do. I like the exercise ones b/c they are so easy to push, well you don't even have to push them they just roll. The BOB is so awesome but their double one is side by side and sometime hard to take places like the city on the bus or some stores and will it fold up and fit in our car. Than there is another one called the Phil and Ted Sport which you can buy a second seat for and it does have air tires but the tires are too small to be classified as an exercise stroller and the sun shade hardly covers the kids but it's compacted and folds up like a dream, yet I can't exercise with this one. Big catch is both of these option are very expensive even more then the normal expensive strollers. Whoever is in the baby market is making lots of money lets face it, nothing involving kids is cheap. So what to do what to do. For now I walk with Noah in a carrier on my back and Jonas in the stroller. We'll see how exercise class goes with that operation in a few weeks, should be a sight that is for sure.
4. What type of vacation we'll we get this year and where. As of now I have a trip for Tiffany's wedding in Victoria BC in May(right tiff), and than we'll try to get home sometime this year when the weather is better. Which doesn't leave a lot of vacation time left. I am still dreaming of one day going to Italy but not sure when that will happen and how much fun will it be with taking two kids with us on a trip like that. Oh well I am not stressing over this at all it will fall into place somehow but it will have to be well organized to fit everything in.
5. How long will it take me to get the swing of things and get completely organized into a routine where I feel like myself and have things working like I want them here. This is number five on the list but probably the most important one of all....hahaha so there really is no order to my list.
Well that is all I have time for right now. I got to mop the kitchen floor and get dinner ready. Noah napped today and Jonas finally is quiet in his bed so I took the time to write you guys, but who knows when Noah will have a nap again haha. Hope everyone is having a great week and a great start of the new year.
