Weight Loss

I recently joined Facebook and one of my friends started a "Biggest Loser" group.  It costs $5 a week which is cheaper that Weight Watchers so I joined.  Whoever loses the most weight gets the jackpot.  I started on my birthday and so far I've lost 6.4 lbs!   Last week I won the jackpot and I used the money to buy the Wii Game Biggest Loser.  It is way more intense than the Wii Fit Plus and right now it's kickin my butt!  I'm sore but feeling good and can already tell where I'm losing the weight.  I have a long way to go but I know I can do it.  Slowly but surely. 

Never leave a 3 year old unsupervised

Here are a couple of pictures from a couple of weeks ago when I was innocently sitting in the family room folding laundry while Michael was supposed to be in the living room watching a DVD.  I decided to go check on him and as soon as I rounded the corner and saw the bathroom light on I knew there was gonna be trouble.  Upon entering the bathroom the first thing I notice is that the water is on, no one is in there but the water is on.  (so much for water conservation) The next thing I notice is my mascara & foundation all over the counter, sink & my purse.  I go out to the living room to tell Michael to come clean it up and this is what I see.

                                                Maybe he wants to be a football player?

                                        Maybe I can blackmail him when he's a teenager!  LOL


I couldn't resist taking pictures.  He's been really full of piss & vinegar lately.  About 3 weeks ago I took a late shower and when I got out the mop was in the hallway, I go to put it away and hear the water running in the kitchen, so I go out there and Michael has grabbed a chair & pushed it up to the sink & he's filling my mop bucket with water.  I asked him what he was doing and he says "I gotta mop"  Can't leave him alone for a second!  One last story-a couple of weeks ago we go to Wal-Mart and as we're walking in apparently Michael broke wind.  Being a boy he always has to announce it but he said "You farted!"  instead of  "I farted" and a woman at the deli burst into laughter.  I wanted to die!  Gotta love him.  : )

Easter

We had Easter dinner at our house this year. It was crowded and a little chaotic but it was fun.  We had 24 people here although there were only 20 by the time we ate dinner.  I didn't get a chance to get many pictures because I was too busy running around but I'll post the few I took.  Michael looked so handsome in his Easter suit!

                                                                     The whole outfit

           The only picture I got of the kids hunting eggs and it's only the back of Ashlynn & Rojelio's heads!

Lent is over and I made it!  My Dad brought me a chocolate Easter bunny and my cousin brought me a little basket of chocolate.  How sweet huh?  I hope everybody had a wonderful Easter.

Countdown

3 more days and I can eat chocolate!  Oh yeah and there's that whole Easter thing too.  ha ha
 

I WANT CHOCOLATE!!!!

 

Weekend Living

I'm a little behind on blogging...what's today Tuesday???  Last Friday my cousin Karrie & I took Abby & Michael to the Gilbert House.  The kids had a good time and the weather even cleared up enough for a trip outside to the playground.  I was going to take a lot of pictures but of course after 2 pics my camera died-ugh. 

                                           Michael driving the boat-is that the right word "driving"?

                                                                enjoying the bubbles
I know, I know the pictures suck but I told you my camera died!  After we left we went to McDonald's for lunch and then did a little consignment shopping.  I only found 1  pair of pj's for Michael but Karrie always seems to find the cutest clothes for Abby.  It was a fun day!

The rest of the weekend went like this-mowed the lawn, cleaned the bathroom, swept & mopped the floors, did at least 4 loads of laundry, shampooed Michael's carpet, & cooked & cleaned the kitchen numerous times.  Jealous huh?  OK I guess we also had a little downtime-we went to Bush Park, bbq'd hamburgers & even watched a movie or two.  So, how was your weekend?

Oops

Ok so I messed up last post & the pictures never showed up so I'll try again.

Here are some pictures taken today.  Michael had a playdate with Tatiana & Henry, it was perfect weather & we all enjoyed being outside in the fresh air & sunshine.  I love spring!

                                                          Michael & Tatiana hugging
I needed photographic evidence of the hug.  Tatiana always wants to hug Michael but he usually runs away but this time he actually gave her a hug.  That wasn't the only time either, it was shocking! ha ha
