Snow Won't Get Us Down

My brother is so adorable. The snow came from no where... huge white flakes blowing like crazy. He said to Karli, "Let's go out and I'll push you on the swing!" It took some coaxing to get her out there but she did it. It was pretty cute. Later that day the sun was shining! This is spring in Utah.

Work Outs Killin' Me

Since I started getting up at 5:00 a.m. about three weeks ago I have hardly looked at the computer. A few friends and I started going to the rec center three days a week to work out. There are really good classes there that kick my butt every time. The only way I can get myself out of bed at that hour is that I know someone will be waiting for me. I've always felt guilty for never exercising...now that the guilt is gone I have a new problem. By 8:00 at night I am so tired that I cannot wait till I can go to sleep! Usually I would blog after I get my kids to bed but there is now way now! You are thinking, well just find time during the day. Since my cute hubby is now working from home he needs to be on the computer most of the time. After working at home for these last two weeks with the kids running around like a herd of elephants he is thinking about paying for an office space at the brokerage he works for. I'm going to try and catch up with all the time I've missed.

Tea for 4

Today was the kids' 2nd day off track. Today we had a fun tea party. Halee is frowning because I told her to put on a happy face. Everyday is opposite day for her! We made mini cupcakes and decorated them and ate tiny sandwiches and veggies. Kool-aid tea is the best! It was jolly good fun.

After seeing Enchanted the other day, I decided that when ever I feel like raising my voice at my kids instead I'm going to talk in a princess Giselle voice. So instead of saying, "Sit down Right Now!" I'll say in my best princess voice, "Darling...please sit down, I don't want you to get hurt." It's really fun and I think it annoys everyone, especially Trevor, which makes it even more fun.

A Sticky Situation

The other day my sweet friend, Heidi, took my kids all afternoon for me. As if she doesn't already have enough to do. So she wanted to take them to Arctic Circle for ice cream. They wanted to sit in the very back of her suburban where the trunk space is. (She has a small row of seats that face the back window with seat belts.) She retells the story of how she couldn't see them or hear anything except for giggling. Upon arriving at their destination, Heidi was surprised to find Halee with her wad of bubble gum stuck in her hair and Taylor's gum stuck in his belly button. Halee explained to Heidi that Taylor thought it would be fun if they stuck the gum to different parts of their bodies. Poor Heidi. It was pretty funny though. Today Taylor's belly button is sore from him still picking gum out of it!
Well now I have something embarrassing admit something. A while ago Trevor and I went out with some friends and after dinner we went to their house to watch a movie. Well it was pretty late and I was pretty tired, so I made myself comfortable on the love sac. My gum got really old and it was driving me crazy to chew it any longer. But of course it was too inconvenient for me to get up out of the love sac and have to miss part of the movie to find somewhere to throw it away. So I came up with the brilliant idea sticking the gum to my leg. There's no way I would forget that it was there! Well I totally forgot. The next morning I couldn't figure out why the leather chair in my office that I was sitting on had gum all over it. Finally I found it stuck to my pajama bottoms. What a MORON! I'm worse than my kids! Tip of the day: BUY GOO-GONE! It got the gum off my chair in a snap!
