Things kids say...

Our girls have been very "into" finding bugs and all things nature lately. Their latest victim were 3 moths. They kept them hostage in a tupperware container for a few hours until I finally forced Claire to let them go free. She did and they didn't move too far. We left for our trip to Belgium and when we returned, Claire immediately went to check on the moths. She came in and said the following:
"Mom! Guess what??!! God came to visit while we were gone!"
me: "What are you talking about?"
Claire: "Before we left, the moth was out on the patio, not moving and probably dead, but God came and took it up to Heaven with him! That's so great!"

She then went on to say that she was going to go outside and pray for the moth. These stories warm my heart. She is getting it.

Mya says some of the cutest things as all kids do. One that we were reminded of and don't want to forget is "smooky" or "spooky" to everyone else. She is now able to say her 'ch' sound without the frontal lisp. Sadly, I think it will be only a matter of time until the cute Mya lisp is history. Just another reminder that our little girl is growing up.

Nate told me to tell ya, it looks like Claire is going to be his new hunting partner. At least she prayed for the innocent moth she killed! Too funny! Can't wait to see you all, it's getting closer!

Love ya, J

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 ...
