Beach Fun















yesterday was gorgeous. the sun was shining, the sky was blue. perfect. we headed to the beach. wingaersheek beach on the north shore. it was beautiful. one of the most beautiful beaches i have been to--perfect sand, not alot of riff raff in terms of people, awesome scenery, and not far to trek to find the perfect spot. the water was gorgeous too. it actually looked blue from a distance. claire was talking a great game of how she was going to swim, yada yada yada. i expected her touch the water with her foot and run like the wind. boy was i wrong and oh so proud. she really is a crab baby. she LOVED the water. mya too. it was cold, but for some reason, they both were little fish. claire laid down and splashed all about. mya sat in the later, crawled around, and enjoyed it when i splashed her around. it was great. claire spent alot of her time running to get water only to dump it in the sand. she used all the sand toys were bought and really had a great time. it as such a good day. a really great day. there is nothing like seeing your kids grinning from ear to ear for hours upon hours. today was one of those days. only one thing could have made it better---chris.
one funny thing...we went with our friends (of course). rocky, michelle, lucy, alison, jp and henri joined us. anyway, at one point, jp took claire down to the water and came back chasing her with a watering can full of water. claire was laughing and laughing, thinking it was the best thing ever. on the ride home, she was telling me all about it again, when all of a sudden she says, 'jcpenney was chasing me with the water.' it took me a moment to put 2 and 2 together, but i quickly figured out that jcpenny was actually jp. is it possible that we shop a bit too much?? the kid made me laugh. too cute.

I am so glad you had fun, what a couple of cute "beach babes". I miss the ocean so much. The girls look so cute in their matching swimsuits. You look like you have dropped a size, good for you.
I am sure Chris was there in spirit, I know a body would have been better. Glad your friends were there to keep you company.

love you guys!!!!

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 ...

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 ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
