Pedro Jones

Dear old Pedro Jones finally arrived at our house. Santa has been sending elves to our house every year for the past 3 years. They come and watch our children, then report back to Santa whether they have been "naughty" or "nice." The elves of years past have been pretty calm and boring. They hide in crazy places, but have behaved themselves in our company. This one, Pedro Jones, is another story. He is already trouble. This is what we awoke to this morning....

The little bugger broke out of the box by himself, found my sugar, apparently thinking it was snow and began having some snow angel fun! The girls were aghast! They couldn't believe his behavior, yet repeatedly tried to convince me that he wasn't a naughty elf. This could be a long 30 days....

Hey Liz,
Hopefully I didn't freak you out when I recognized you! I can't say I've ever run into anyone I've blogged stalked before :) You're my first. I really should get better at photographing our Pedro Jones. He is quite the guy. However, I sadly admit that half the time, he doesn't quite take his new place until it is too late. My oldest actually woke up this morning to find him rocking out with the snowman at the piano as she had found him yesterday morning. Good thing Pedro is fast. he stealthily moved to the macaroni box in the pantry for a game of hide and seek. We've got to get better at this! I am totally doing the marshmallow spa tomorrow. Love it!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

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 ...

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 ...
