playground fun and love

How can you look at these pictures and not fall madly deeply in love? These girls are such an awesome gift. I could never have imagined finding such joy and pleasure in the everyday as I have since becoming a Momma. This morning Mya woke to Claire standing by her crib saying in her sweet little voice, "Good morning beautiful girl." I bought Claire a new pink water bottle this morning, to which she replies, "Ooo La La, I love it." In that moment, the world stopped and I took note. I love, love, love these kids. It is going to be a squelcher today, so we got out early. I took them to a great little playground that is nice and peaceful. Mya, the little dare devil that she is, skipped right over the toddler appropriate apparatus and ventured off for the big stuff. Moments later, she has mastered the first step and is onto the next. The little bugger even tackled the huge slide. We visited this park last mother's day and Chris went on the slide, but admitted that it was a bit too high for his comfort. I guess this little monster takes after me. I can be pretty bold as far as heights and thrills go. Probably moreso when I was younger, but I still am good with tall rides and things like that. It was fun. Claire did as Claire does and went right for the swings. The girl is in love with flying through the air. Higher, faster, higher is her motto. Yesterday at Alison's, Claire was running down the driveway pushing Mya in the little tikes car--both laughing hysterically. Everyday is filled with moments like these. Funny things said, laughs, giggles and smiles galore. I. am. in. love.

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...
