First of all, thank you DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! My wonderful children slept in until the 9:00am hour today. Ahhhh! Now that's a Spring BREAK!
So the day started beautifully as I was well rested for the playdate over at my sister's house. It was a nice time.. the kids played for hours. :) It was nice to spend time with Dori and Rachael, and just chit chat without the constraints of our usual busy schedules.
OF COURSE, I snapped some pictures! What would my blog be without those?
Here are the girls playing so nicely....aren't they adorable?
Here's my A-man, jumping on Kayla's bed holding Barbies. Uh....yeah.
Rachael and Dori with their "beautiful beautiful, beautiful boys...."
oh, and that's me! haha!
I promised Anna, that if she ate a good dinner, she could make cookies... so tonight, these were her creations. The one on the left was for Will, The middle one was hers, and the one on the right was Aiden's (a heart because she loves him so much). Notice that there are only 3, because I kindly passed on cookies tonight. Anna understood. ;)
They were eaten in less than 30 seconds.
After the kids went to bed, I did my Winsor Pilates. Have you tried it? It's a GREAT workout!
Let's see... what else. Just want to give internet ((hugs)) to Sam. Will and I were able to talk with him this evening from Iraq, and the poor guy is really sick. So Sam, if you are reading this, we hope you feel better soon, and we hope they are letting you rest!!!!
Tomorrow... I'm taking the kids to a new activity. We are going to a paint your own pottery place.. but apparently on Tuesday mornings, they have a story time, and then the kids get to paint a piece relating to the story. Anna is very excited. Aiden is coming along for the ride. Not sure about giving him paint though. We'll see! heehee...
I also have my 2nd weigh in at Weight Watchers tomorrow! I've been very much "on program" all week, so we'll see what happens. Whatever the results are, I'm feeling good, eating healthy and moving closer to my goal.
And to leave you all with a little inspiration. I was talking with a close friend today, and we were talking about how easy it is to fall into a "downward spiral" in life. Instead of letting yourself fall, think of all the possibilities that are out there for you and strive to find them! This past November, I attended a Kindermusik convention where I saw Benjamin and Rosamund Zander. They are the authors of The Art of Possibility. If you haven't read it, or have never even heard of it, please check out that link above. It's such an inspirational and motivational book which you can apply to every facet of your life. Here's one thing from the book to take with you today: when you wake up, tell yourself that you are going to have a perfect day. Create that story. Go along in your day with that attitude, and you WILL have a perfect day (or close to it!), AND if something doesn't go exactly right, well... just throw your hands in the air and scream "how fascinating". and move on.
Oh, and one other thing: don't forget Rule #6.
What is rule #6??
