happy birthday to luke today and ava tomorrow!


claire wanted me to give a big shout out to her favorite boy cousin, luke! he turns 8 years old today. wow how time flies! luke is such a fantastic kiddo. he is the nicest little/big guy to claire. he is very gentle and loves to play with her. he is truly this way with all kids, but especially those younger than him. she also told me not to forget about ava who celebrates her big day tomorrow. she is turning 4 years old! again, very hard to believe. ava and claire will be great little playmates if we can get them together again. ava generally is very motherly to claire and makes sure she doesn't get into anything she shouldn't. she's got a spunky personality and is adorable, of course. we love them very much and are hoping they have a fabulous birthday. we hope that we can see them some time this summer-chicago?? ava-are you coming in a couple of weeks? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday LUKEY DUKEY! I can't believe you are 8 today. Pretty soon you will be driving a car instead of driving your sisters crazy! Ava your big day is tommorow and I am sure Cinderella would go to your party if she wasn't so busy at the castle. I love you both and miss you! Have a great day--we will see you within the next week or so!

Love ya,
Jessica

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
