We swam. We cleaned. We worked out and we played.
Our little foursome was together all weekend long - three days straight. For a family with working parents (40+ hours per week), it was a cherished time. As I say that, the weekend is coming to a close and I'm catching up on all the work that I could have done in these three short days.
Instead, Elliott and I put our computers aside and work out-of-sight.
On Saturday morning, we headed to the gym with the girls. Maddi and Lizzie went to kids' zone while we hopped on the ellipticals. Just like rekindling my long-lost faith, I remembered my love for exercise. There was a day that I ran 10-12 miles every morning, finished the Honolulu marathon in 4 hours, 20 minutes, and worked out with a trainer. Well, it's not like that anymore but someday...someday. For now, 30 minutes on the elliptical is just fine.
We followed our workout with pooltime - outdoors even though the temperature hovered around a low 70 degrees and dark clouds hung low in the sky. It was nice enough for Lizzie to have her first swim, but Maddi loved it. To top it all off, we had grilled burgers and hotdogs, poolside. Eventually we headed home and everyone got a nice little nap.
Sunday was similar. We were off to the gym by 10am, checked the girls into kids' zone and then I did my first step class in over 2 years. I loved it but only lasted 40 minutes. Gosh it was hard. Today my calves and quads are sore, and I love it! Can't wait to get back in there.
We napped again Sunday afternoon and went to our friends' house a mile away for dinner. They have two girls close in age to Maddi and Lizzie, and another couple joined us with their two girls around the same ages.
Monday was low-key.
After two days with Maddi and Lizzie, we were tired. We played some Hello Kitty bingo and watched the Incredibles. Elliott mowed the lawn; I cleaned out the girls' closets to make room for the summer clothes I just ordered online from Tea ($15 sale, yahoo!!).
It's now Tuesday morning (12:15am). Time to turn in so that I can wake up in seven hours and start my short work week.
