We had a GORGEOUS weekend! It was simply beautiful here. One of my friends who is from Florida thinks she's in desperate need of a trip home since the 50 degree temps that we've been feeling actually feels HOT! ha. I am soaking up every degree. The kiddos and I were out and about on Saturday afternoon. We actually had a birthday party at the bowling alley, so our afternoon time was limited. Sunday was filled with a walk to the playground, a playdate at Claire's friends house and more bike riding, car pushing, sliding on the deck kind of fun. We also tackled a major project--cleaning our rugs and furniture. I even went through my closet to complete my "spring cleaning" escapades (our cleaning lady is taking over as I speak) and made the greatest discovery---Jessica, one of my skinny minny sisters gave me a pair of AE denim capris a few years ago. I wore them one summer, got pregnant with Claire and haven't worn them since, but alas, they fit!! Yippee! I will admit they aren't really my style anymore, so I am not sure I will actually wear them, but I'm so thrilled that they could be worn if I really wanted! Love those little discoveries! With that being said, I am really okay with my weight as it is today. I am not focused on losing anymore, but simply maintaining. I can wear all the clothes in my closet and that was truly my goal. I've lost 15 pounds and taken on a healthy lifestyle, which was my ultimate goal. I am satisfied. So satisifed in fact, that I actually ordered not 1, but 2 swimsuits!! Not a bikini, mind you, but no swim dress either. Bring on the summer sun! Working on our summer trip as we speak. I. CANNOT. WAIT! and neither than Claire. She is constantly talking about our family. "Grammy's going to read me books. Papa's going to tickle me. Jessa this, Olivia that." On and on goes our daily conversations about her summer experiences. I am so ready to see my family, some vast prairie land, smell the fresh, pollution free air and go to TARGET!! Claire told Chris that she thought he should go to Target and buy us a present. I too agree! I love Target. I can't wait to wander the aisles of wonderfullness as long as I'd like. Ahhh. Summertime will be so grand. 3 more months...
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

So proud of you! The hard work has paid off. I am in desperate need of some summer as well. It has been 60 degrees here this weekend however, we didn't enjoy it much as my husband is sick once again. We finally ordered the drawer pulls for our kitchen cabinets!!!Cant wait to get these projects done!
