Lack of Posts

There have been two reasons for my slacking with posts the last few days.

Here is the first:

I have been staining our screened porch since Thursday.  I took off all the screens so that I could get all sides of the spindles.  That alone was insanely time consuming.  It didn't help that I was always watching the boys at the same time.  They have been generally great though.

I love how big the porch is but, wow, it takes a long time to stain.  I have one more section of the floor (I need to move the couch to the part I did today) and the bottom of the exterior.  Next is the deck but I'm waiting until we have our hardscape installed in a few weeks.  It's going off the deck and we are having the side opened up so it steps down to the hardscape.

And the second reason for the slacking:

We started Insanity on Monday.  And it is insane!  I hurt everywhere - but that's good.  During the week we were waiting until the kids went to bed to workout (that is killing our free time in the evening though).  We tried working out while the kids were up this weekend.  It was more difficult (we had to take a few breaks to change a diaper and break up fights) but we managed and still got in a good workout.  I think we are going to try to do our workouts first thing in the morning this week.  The boys are up early so we'll have to do it when they are up (I'm not getting up at 4 am) but it'll be nice to have some time back in the evening (which should give me more time to blog).

Carter "worked out" with us yesterday.  He tried to do several of the exercises.  He was so funny having to have his sippy cup of water near by so he could keep getting water.  Today he told us several times that he wanted to work out again.  When I was doing my workout this afternoon, Carter did a little with me.  When some of the guys on the DVD were taking off their shirts, Carter decided he needed to as well - so funny!
