Trying to Get Back Into the Swing of Things! | Vlogmas 2024

[Music] good morning we're so happy that you're here happy Monday morning I have a little I'm holding this so weird um I have a little drink usually I go cold with my espresso but today I want I just felt like a cozy morning and also when I started both of the little boys were asleep Peter just took James to school a car and I was like oh I'll finish White Christmas I'll sip on my hot coffee um but I honestly think the espresso machine is probably what stirred up um Teddy at least so Teddy's down here playing and Charlie's still asleep um but I'm still going to play and sit and Sip and yeah start off start off Monday cozy so when I make the hot drinks I put Steam milk and then I put caramel on top because then each sip I get like a little bit of caramel from the top that's noise a helicopter um but I did mix the espresso with peppermint syrup that Peter made over the weekend so it's like a little caramel peppermint is it a latte is that what this is called I think so how old are you two two yeah you're two what's your favorite color red red it changed you like red like Mickey Mouse hiy what about uh you going to eras my candy cane on a little morning walk I've been trying to get out on a walk every morning these days silly faces we're having a little bit of a late breakfast I actually ran while we were outside like alongside Teddy for a while and not to be like oh my gosh I'm going to be a runner now but I just have always like as of recently since I've been less active and I don't even know the last time I was like truly ran because I've done different types of cardio um and actually it it made me feel good maybe it was just moving my body at all but any who I don't know maybe I'll go for a j maybe I don't know but whatever Peter and I have been talking about having set times to work out just because our life is a little bit chaotic a little bit unexpected that y it's yucky a donkey a [Music] donkey it's so yummy um we rarely get cereal and Peter picked up Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms the last time he went to the store with boys probably something about cereal being at eye level with four-year-olds in the coffee aisle um but any who he's trying some cinnamon toast crunch regardless what I trying to say is Bing that's a silly face um basically being a stay-at-home mom sometimes it's just daunting knowing just like a whole day at home I like to have a little bit of structure but anyhoo Peter and I have been talking Charlie is like hitting eight months this month and we have kind of like we've been in like a really Chaotic season like the last few weeks but we are kind of like seeing like that we're like getting in a newer Groove with with with Charlie being a little bit older now we've talked about being a little bit more intentional with our water drinking the times we're moving our bodies oh my gosh but all around just like a loose what you don't like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch is it too spicy but even being more intentional with like a like a loose not working oh no we got to fill it up loose schedule at home but yeah just having like a loose structure in the day like getting us all dressed by 9:00 a.m. and getting outside before 10:00 a.m. like that sort of thing so I'm going to try and like map that out today and I already feel good after like that like I said that little J I'm sweaty um got my heart rate up and we had a good time Jamesy just got home from school daddy oh no how to get this Z got the boys Christmas gifts from like their little school's Christmas shop all right let's do some Advent calendars [Music] Charlie communication blowing raspberries it's so cute with those little pine trees Teddy pull this one that oh my gosh mmy thank you it's modeling clay for the skeleton Ty yeah spy so the this Clay is meant to like build it's no sticky around this skeleton are you going to build one these are the other things this is what James picked out for Teddy these little animal cars and this is what he got for Charlie was so sticky that's what was on the ceiling me and Teddy are at Walmart James like every other school I feel has like a holiday week where there's themed days and today he already has something that he was going to wear but I need to get like two other things and then just like gift bags for his little gifts for his teachers um so I'm going to make sure I get that done and Teddy came along with me I swear it's a Time Warp when I go into Walmart also it like poured rain while we were in there you could like hear it hitting the ceiling at least we missed that but even know what what time it is what day it is we're throwing together a quick dinner tonight with stuff I got from Walmart don't get me Teddy I need to make an Aldi pick a border was was supposed to do it today but tomorrow we'll just have to do tomorrow is tomorrow after all tomorrow is another day and this is like a honey mustard salad pack really simple there's not much to it but the real star of the show is the cucumber salad that's going on top with little peanut dressing with soy sauce chili crisp what else rice vinegar I forgot where I left off in my cucumber dressing cuz it's it's a chaotic dinner time right now hopefully I got most of the ingredients um but any who I loved the cucumber salad fat on Tik Tok for that moment um so just just Google that and you'll find a great mixture to make a cucumber salad dressing and these were both frozen food options a little chicken fried rice I don't even remember what kind of sauce that is General S I think um but that's what we're having and the kids are having pot stickers the vibe all righty this is not A vibe so I want to clean this up I finished the Vlog and it's 9:30 the kids have been asleep for a while so I don't know do you think an early bedtime is in our future or an actual chill time is in our future um maybe I don't know I'm like flabber we technically only have 50 minutes left of five 5 Z oh nobody wants us yeah have you watched the Netflix show nobody wants this we have been doing a really good job at like actually watching it the episodes are short um but I want to say we probably started like weeks ago so that is an option we've also been trying to watch a Christmas movie every night okay I just realized we never put our Christmas duvet cover on our bed we decided to go with nobody wants this we were like halfway through the finale and James just like sat up so I went in their room and then as I was coming into our room Charlie woke up so James Peter is in there with him now um but usually around this time he'll like wrestle and just go right back back down to bed he just needs a little bit of support um but yeah I really don't know what this Vlog is about it's about a Monday where we all just try to get back into the swing of things and there really are no swing of things and every day is just full of surprises just a weird day like our little inside joke um um but honestly I did write out some like the simple little like outline I was telling you guys about so I'll share that tomorrow I wanted to share it today but just got a little bit lost in me but I do feel better prep for the week as far as like the holidays go and like what we're doing each day with Peter in the office um and all of that so we try to do that on Sundays but Monday is not a bad second place I do need to do the grocery order so maybe I'll maybe I'll do that while Peter's in there with Charlie or close my eyes it's good to be home we know what our goals are we know what we hope to accomplish and believe me it's the most exciting and challenging assignment we've ever tackled at Walt Disney Productions [Music] [Applause] [Music]
