If only every day were like this!

It started out with Brian being home...and able to help this morning. We'd expected he'd be sleeping after a midnight arrival from Boston, but his flight got messed up early yesterday morning...and...well, he ended up here in town all day yesterday.
Thus, able to assist the wife.
I had myself sufficiently psyched up for a day of solo action yesterday...so I kept my end of the deal and didn't bother him until after both kiddos had eaten dinner, had baths, and been tucked away. He was still working in the basement at that point...poor guy...he's been really swamped lately.
But anyway. I digress.
Today...today...so I got a reprieve from the mayhem this morning and only had to wake up at 7:30, as opposed to 6:30, with Jonathan. Had some coffee, played outside with B while J napped, and around 10am took Benjamin to his Mommy and Me class. Brian let us go without Jonathan, and as luck would have it...J only woke up just as we were getting home from class. We had lunch and played...blah...blah...did some puzzles, watched some Dan Zanes (holy crap...it's an obsession around here) and even wrestled for a bit before it was time for afternoon naps. Both boys went down and I managed to escape to the MAC during this short window of time...heaven.
Came home and got the house ready for the best part of our day: impromptu playgroup with cocktails. Some friends came over and we toasted the dreaded, hellish time of day for we stay-at-home-moms...the just after naps/just before dinner hour. One good buddy came with a cosmo mix, and another actually pushed her ever-lovin stroller down the street with a bottle of Absolut in the bottom basket. God love her. Anyway...it was as close to Sarah Jessica and gang as we could get today. Complete with goldfish crackers, strawberries, sippy cups and baby wipes.
But ahhh...what a way to cruise into the dinner hour.:)
Mommy actually danced while singing the Laptime song as she made dinner tonight...making Benjamin laugh hysterically....making mommy feel guilty that the reason he was laughing so hard was because he was basically laughing at his drunk mommy.
But anyway.

A good day, nonetheless.
Cheers.
