Today at the Park!

 

My boys and I went to the park and enjoyed a nice day....Bring on the warm weather!!

Art Classes..

My Thing 1 is a great artist....He draws all over the place and makes little books, he just loves art. So I thought today I would look into art classes or even a school that focuses on art. I guess you have to be rich to do anything like that. One day a week for art classes $250 bucks for several weeks. I know that might not sound like a lot but it is. I don't know if I can come up with that much money. If I do I should get Thing 2 into something and I am still having a tuff time figuring that kid out. I know he likes cars. I really don't thing there are car classes. He loves to jump all of the time. Maybe dance or something. I don't think I will be able to talk the hubby into dance classes for his son. (a guy thing) He loves video games and t.v. but I'm really trying to get him away from that kind of stuff.
What to do....It is so hard to figure things out for your kids. You want to lead them into the right direction and give them every opportunity. Why does it have to cost so much money? Why is so hard to figure out what to do?

Losing weight...

So If you want to lose weight, get depressed and eat all the chocolate covered pretzels you can find. Well it worked for last week. I was having a blah of a week ate a ton of pretzels. Then after all of that I lost 5 pounds...I know this plan wont work in the future but is sure was nice for this week :-)

 

Night, Night Thing 2! (yes he went to bed with a messy face)

My sweet little Thing 1 painted this for me for Valentines...It is a picture of him his brother and his sister. I loved it!!

Drawers...

 

Boogy loves drawers!! She was trying so hard to get that ball to fit in the drawer she got really mad. I think she has gone through every drawer in the house! She loves to move things from one drawer to another so you never know where anything is. She is such a sweet heart...

Thing 1

The other day I was late getting to the bus stop to pick up the boys. Not really a big deal I thought. I can see the bus stop from my house. I walked outside and met the boys about half way. Thing 2 didn't care that I was late. Thing 1 had a sad face and was singing a song. I asked Thing 1 what he was singing....He said "I am singing a sad, sad song." He still had a sad face. I asked why? and he said "my mom wasn't at the bus stop so I am singing a sad, sad song."
Boy that just broke my heart.
I wont be late again! He sure knows how to pull a said face....And the song was heart breaking.
I know, I am wrapped around his little finger :-)

Boogy and the bath.

Boogy loves her bath time. We will be downstairs and I say Boogy bath time. She will crawl up the stairs and up to the bathroom door. she waits very impatiently while knocking on the door. When I open the door she runs in and starts taking off her clothes. It is sooo cute!!! Boogy loves her baths! If for some reason I talk about bath time and she hears me, I better just give her a bath. She does the same thing. But, if I don't follow her to the tub she screams (and her scream hurt ears). Best just to give her a bath. (one day she had 5 baths)

Today she said bottle. It was so cute!! I was getting her ready for morning nap and she said "bottle". I love it when kids learn new words it was great!

Exercise.

Every time I exercise that should be one pound off. I am very impatient and I want this fat off right now! I have been working really hard exercising everyday. Eating well, and not enough has come off. If the world was the way I wanted it to be every time you exercised that would be one pound off. Oh, that would be wonderful!
I guess I better keep on exercising and hope I will lose a pound a week (maybe).
I hate losing weight!! I hate more being heavy. Back to the treadmill.

On a good note I have had a wonderful apple pie in my fridge for a few days and I haven't had a single slice...I am so proud of myself. Yes, it has been talking to me. It likes to say "eat me" but I always say no. I hope my hubby finishes it off today so I wont have to listen to it anymore. Don't worry only food talks to me. Not furniture or anything else that isn't alive :-)

Facebook and Myspace..

I think I am addicted to Facebook and Myspace. I have to check my Facebook at least three times a day. I am totally addicted!! It is so fun to see friends from high school and see their sweet families. I can't believe how old I am getting. I have five year old twin boys and that is so crazy to me. They are almost six! Wow time sure flies when you are having fun :-)

Happy Birthday!

My Hubby is getting soooo old!! Today is his birthday and well I don't have money for a present. Not until the tax return comes anyway. He will be getting a fancy new barbecue. I kinda of ran over his old one with the minivan. (Oops!) I thought I was gently tapping it with the front of the van. Well, I was pretty much smashing it. We tried to roll it out of the garage last year and it just crumbled into a big bent up piece of metal.(Oops!) We didn't have any money for a barbecue last year since we thought we had a nice one already. So, this year part of the tax return will be put into getting a new one. I just have to remember I cant gently tap it will the car. Not a very good idea :-)

For his Birthday treat he wanted cheesecake. Not a friendly little one just him and the kids could enjoy. A big Costco sized cheesecake. You know the one that is meant for a HUGE family or a wedding. Why can't I just say no to cheesecake? Why does it call my name from the fridge? I have been sooooo good the last couple of weeks and since that cheesecake has joined our family I have had three pieces. I hate cheesecake now!! It is way to yummy and very evil!!
I guess I better hit the treadmill....Blah!
