It's Snowing--in my house??!!




An awesome package arrived yesterday in the mail from my parents. Yippee!! I love packages so much more living in Korea than I even did stateside. A huge appreciation. Anyway, I opened the box and left it in the kitchen. Not long after, I catch Mya (the girl who is all about fun) running over to the box, grabbing an overflowing handful of filler. Shredded paper. Um. Yeah. Bad news. I stopped her, but it didn't seem to phase her. She simply turned around and returned to the living to enjoy the rewards of her previous reaping. Yep. Snow. All. over. the. floor. She and Claire were in heaven. Me...not so much. :)

On an aside...my family has been checking in daily on the status of clothing in our house, so I'll let you in on a little secret. Mya almost always, but quite often Claire as well, for the last two weeks that we have been hanging at home have preferred to run around in their undies. Sometimes with shirts, sometimes without. There. The cat is out of the bag. I will say, Chris and I have been fully clothed--only sometimes in our pajamas ;) I love vacation!

On another aside--check out Claire's legs in that last picture. That girl looks ripped! :)

We'd love to have him. Send him on over. We'll rev him up, then send him home. As for the indoor trampoline, well....we're there already--"Jumpy Jump." Ava even thought that looked like fun. We'll take her too.

Sweetness Overload

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!

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 ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
