Friday we drove down to Plantation right before dinner at Buca Di Beppo. Buca happens to be one of my favorite restaurants. So, I was pretty nervous about going there, and sticking to Weight Watchers. Well, I ate very low point all day (so yes, I was STARVING!), and ate moderately at dinner, and did very well. The real proof will be tomorrow at my weigh in! Here's a pic of Anna and I at dinner.
Saturday we went to Butterfly World and it was lovely. The weather was PERFECT, and that kids did great there! If you happen to ever be in that area, I highly recommended going! We took so many pictures there...but here are some to enjoy. :)
It was pretty cool. A butterfly landed right on my head! :)
Here is Anna checking out the rose garden.

Saturday night was spent at home. Thanks Molly for a yummy low point meal (I ate them out of vegetables!). Unfortunately, Saturday night wasn't great for us sleep wise. The previous night Aiden was keeping Anna up, so we had to bring Aiden into our room... where he slept fine. BUT... Saturday night, at about 4am, Aiden woke up, and was crying, and unhappy. He just couldn't get back to sleep no matter what we did.. so that night was pretty sleepless. Sunday we had a nice lunch and we were on our way back home...(with lots of strong Starbucks coffee!)Today we had a great time at Kindermusik. The original plan was to mentor Elizabeth on Mondays until she was ready to be on her own. Well she has about reached that level...but AIDEN is in love with her, and just loves going to her class... so it looks like we are going to continue going each week to enjoy! :) Anna had dance class today. She is getting ready for that recital. Then I went to Chorus rehearsal. I'm a part of a choir through Timber Creek High School called the IG choir. IG stands for Inter generational. If I REALLY thought about that, I would get very upset. BUT... it's a great opportunity for me to do what I love to do.. down the street, and have some fun. It's also the program that provided the opportunity to sing at Disney this past Christmas, which was amazing... After I got home this evening from chorus...I started cooking for my family's Passover Seder. We are doing our Seder Tuesday night because it worked better with every one's schedule.. I just whipped up a huge pot of Matzoh Ball soup, and some Vegetarian Chopped Liver (it's yummy, but no actual liver... good for putting on Matzoh). Tomorrow Aiden and I have My Gym, then I go weigh in at WW, and then it's off to my mother's for Passover!! I'll try to take pictures of that. Should be lots of fun! Nighty nite!
Love, Holly
