I had forgotten the freedom of life before baby, but this weekend I caught a glimpse of it again as Dan and Amelia were off to France to visit his parents. Truly amazing both how much and how little you can do without a toddler around. Here is a smattering of what I was able to do with all of my new found time:- Went furniture shopping for a toddler bed for Amelia, couldn't find anything I liked, so gave up and...
- Planned and built a toddler bed for Amelia (just need Dan to paint it, no fumes allowed for me)
- Went to the market and bought lovely organic blueberries, strawberries, rasberries and lots of veggies
- Spent some quality time with our original kids, who have been feeling a bit neglected lately
- Sat on the couch and read a magazine
- Finished a project for work
- Took a ridiculously long shower
- Watched some soccer and a really bad movie on TV
- Bought and installed a bell on Amelia's tricyle
- Started organizing the office
- Baked muffins
- Wrote a Blog :)
- Slept all night long and didn't wake up until I was ready!
There must be more I've left out, but it was a great blend of productivity and relaxation, and I'm feeling very refreshed. I was really looking forward to seeing Dan and Amelia when they got home yesterday afternoon, and got to have a picnic in the park while watching Portugal on the big screen. Of course the 7-0 win was a nice bonus, too! 
Here is Amelia's victory dance:
