Day 4 was a great day. I was feeling awesome. I had heard that day 4 is supposed to be really hard and so I am super excited that I felt as good as I did. I woke up alert and ready for my day. I still woke up earlier then I like but I was awake and clear. S and I had a great day with very little disagreement. We got to play with lots of our friends and enjoy some wonderful sunshine. I love september.
The day started at 630am with S waking up. I made her rice crispies and made myself a 2 egg scramble with yellow pepper and shallot along with yellow pepper, avocado and grapefruit. After breaky S and I got ready because we were going to a playdate at a friends house. S had a great play and I had a great talk with my friend MB.
After the playdate we headed home because my hubby had to get to work. We ate our lunch. S had a PB sandwich, apple, pear and raspberries and I finished the leftovers from my Moroccan chicken dish. So yummy! We then woke M from his nap and headed to my hubby's work. My mother-in-law had come as well to watch the kids while I gave him a much needed massage. We are both RMT's (registered massage therapists), he has been working so hard because I'm on mat leave. So the least I can do is give him a massage to help keep his body strong.
We headed to my sister's after this. My sister has two kids her eldest P is S's best friend they are only 16 days apart and L is her daughter and her first birthday is next week. The kids had a fun time, so we stayed for dinner. K, my sister was so great for having us. She made cucumber maki sushi and BBQ'd chicken on the BBQ. S loved it all and everything disappeared. M towards the end of the dinner was starting to fade from such a full day of fun. So I knew I needed to get the kids home quickly.
After we helped tidying Auntie K's house we jumped in the car and headed home for the end of the day. M was already asleep in his carseat by the time we drove the 3 minutes to get home. I put him in bed and I promised S that if she got into her PJ's quickly and quietly, she could stay up and wait for Auntie C ( one of my good girlfriends) to come over. S loves most of my good friends and she gets so excited to see them all. Auntie's C and L were both coming over for a dinner playdate with mommy. I was so looking forward to sometime with my girlfriends. C had said she would make dinner, which was awesome. She brought cod and did an oil ginger sautee with some bock choy, quinoa and salad. I had to alter my meal a little but it was super easy to do. I didn't have the quinoa and made a seperate salad that excluded pine nuts, goat cheese and a balsamic reduction. Everything was delicious! Thank you C for making dinner.
After dinner we had a great chat and caught up. By 10am we were all tired and parted ways. I put a movie on and waited for my hubby to get home. At 1130pm, we called it quits and headed to bed. What a great day! Here's hoping the rest of my days go this fantastically.
On to Day 5.
