a fun filled day

our list of "to-dos" before we leave new england is rather lengthy, but we can cross off one item today. we ventured to the acton children's discovery center. it was a great little place especially geared for younger kiddos and FREE thanks to my teacher id and military id. love that. our friends, erin & liam and michelle & lucy joined us for the fun. i was able to capture a few photos before my battery died-you'd think i'd learn to double check these things. anyway, i did take some more photos with my phone, but now i have to figure out how to get them off of my phone and onto my computer. oiy! the center was cute--complete with a little diner, water table, train table, and oceanesque things too. very cute and perfect as far as size. we spent a couple of hours there, which was great for little ones.
our second activity of the day was a trip to the playground. i opted to go to the playground across from our old house. it was sad, although claire didn't seem to mind. our house looks so good right now. may and june are the best months for my flower gardens, so seeing all of my blooming flowers that i worked so hard to transplant and nurture was bittersweet. many of them came from my mom and grandma's gardens. sad they are no longer mine. on the other hand, the new owners obviously share my joy of flowers and gardening and are doing a great job taking care of the landscaping. for that i am thankful.
our final stop was to our former neighbors--mike and sarah's to join them for a walk. it was nice visiting with sarah, catching up on all the neighborhood gossip. their twins are getting so big--nearly as big as mya. we definitely need to get together a bit more. they are very nice.
all in all, a great day filled with lots of friend time. we like that.

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!

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 ...
