I'm a LOSER! :)

We have got some sleepyheads in this house this week! The kids once again slept until 9:30am or so today... so alas... we missed the storytime at the pottery place, BUT..I promised Anna she would paint, and paint she did! I took her to Painted by Hue anyway, and she painted a LOVELY mug for her daddy. It was very sweet, and I give Aiden props for being so patient! He just chilled in his stroller and watched Anna.

We have been working with Anna on broadening her palate, because she has been SO picky with her eating. Anna has always been a picky eater, but over the last year or so, it has really gotten worse.. so she has promised to try something new everyday. Today we worked on sandwiches. I know right? What's not to like about a sandwich? But Anna up till now has rejected any sandwich we have ever offered to her.

Until today...............

She helped me make a scrumptious turkey breast sandwich. We used our Pampered Chef "cut and seal" to remove the crust and we were all set!


Then we made Aiden one also! He was loving it! :)


So, then it was time for that little thing call my WEEKLY WEIGH IN AT WEIGHT WATCHERS! AHHH!!! So, how did I do? I lost another pound! Whoo hoo!!!! I'm down 3.6 in two weeks now, and going strong. It's a wonderful reason to keep on going and reach that goal.

Since the sandwich making went over so well, I thought I would see if Anna wanted to help me make dinner. Tonight's recipe was from Weight watcher's e-tools called CHICKEN FINGERS. I figured that would make Anna happy right?... so she was great about helping... and even tried a bite, and well... she then ran to the garbage can to spit it out. I guess she didn't like it. Aiden actually had the same response (no he didn't get up, but he did return to sender), so oh well, I tried right? Actually, Will and I LOVED the recipe, and will definitely make it again, but I think the kids didn't like the honey mustard flavoring...it was too much for them. Live and learn, live and learn. haha!


After dinner we decided to take a nice family stroll, and we were able to get a few shots. Anna rode her princess bike which she is QUICKLY growing out of already (geeesh!).



May you have a perfectly wonderful day tomorrow. We'll be at the park with the playgroup enjoying the fresh air, and I'll be back soon! :)

Love, Holly
