Pedro Jones








Love the fact that our kids BELIEVE. Claire was so convinced this was the real Santa. She said, "no one is going to believe me that I got to meet Santa Claus." So cute. 
Our elf, Pedro Jones has been up to no good. He is all about having fun, making messes and enjoying life.  He fits right into our family with all the craziness that has ensued as of late.

I was more concerned that Pedro Jones has suffered a brain injury of some sort. It must be pretty bad considering he doesn't know if he is Pedro John or Pedro jones!

Ours is nameless in the box! I'm sure he is amazing!

Love ya,

Jessica

Ooo, you caught that, Jessica. Pretty good. He is an elf of many names.
@ Lisa--I didn't know you were doing the elf thing. I'd love to see some pictures of Tor's antics or is he boring and well behaved?

So far, Tor has taken a hot air balloon ride on a helium balloon...hung from cupboard on candy cane...not very exciting. I have lots of ideas via pinterest! Maybe that is where Pedro John/Jones gets his?

Could be! Interestingly, everytime Chris gets up first, Pedro is boring--sitting on a roll of tape, hanging from a light, for example. However, he is Mr. Crazy and Fun when I am first to arise. Why is that? Hmmm.

Ha. Ours stayed inside the roll of tape with scissors in his hand. I guess you can tell who got up first. ;)

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

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 ...

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...
