I Love Guam! Part 2



Mya especially loved watching the water rush over her legs.

Claire making a "mudpie." Her teacher at school, Ms. Valene grew up on Guam, so she was prepping her for the trip telling her all the great things she'd see. She was also teaching her "Haffa Adai," which means "hello."


The resort had 5 hammocks, which Mya and Claire both enjoyed "swinging." I guess they serve different purposes for each person.

Daddy and Mya attempting the small water slide. This one actually connected to a larger one, which scared the heck out of Mya. Chris was convinced she was traumatized.


Another view of a pool.

Chris holding Mya above the water as they entered the pool.

Claire as we waited for Daddy and Mya to come down teh slide.

Mya was a huge fan of the sunscreen stick. There is a whold other side to this story yet to be told.

Our exciting day was topped off with a trip to Kmart. I've never been a fan of Kmart, but I was thrilled to have this little escape to something so familiar.

Claire's new sunglasses that she chose herself. The girl has style.

Mya's new shades. Again, quite the "paprazz"i attractor!
Our days in Guam went a little something like this...wake up around 8:30 or 9:00 (amazingly, our children decided to "sleep in"), get ready for the beach/pool, hang out there for 3-4 hours, eat lunch, nap and do some sort of activity, followed by dinner and bed. It was perfect. We didn't have anything "planned" per say, although one of my friends was previously stationed there for awhile, so she gave me a list of suggestions and restaurants to enjoy. We didn't make it through half of the suggestions, but still managed to fill every minute of every day doing exactly what we wanted. Our girls took to the water right away, loving the beach, sitting on the shoreline and feeling the water rush over their legs. Claire especially enjoyed making "mudpies"  and sandcastles.

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...
