learning the days of the week

the boys are really into the very hungry caterpillar written by Eric Carle. this book is cool because it is helping them learn colors, foods, numbers, sizes (big/small), and of course the days of the week. i know the book by heart because they want to read it to me "individually" of course. i started using the days of the week in conversation a lot more when talking to them. for example, "we are going to wal-mart on SATURDAY", "mom has to go back to work because it's MONDAY". well they are really starting to get it. it's funny because we still listen in on them from our room through the baby monitor and we can hear them talking amongst each other. they say stuff like. "no we don't go to the pool, that's on saturday" or "we have to go to daycare it's gonna be monday". it's so cool to see them putting it all together.

on another note, i wonder when i will ever be able to go through any normal daily activities like using the restroom, showering, getting dressed, eating, watching a movie/tv show, or driving, without being interrupted by someone needing something.
