Week 2.

Week 2 of the diet is over. I've lost 9.5 lbs total!! 6.5 lbs under pre pregnancy weight! I started running yesterday. I about died. Today, not so bad! I ran a little over a mile and only stopped to fix my running app that wasn't working and to help someone get their puppy that was following me. I did pretty good! I'm so proud!

Sounds About Right

A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the T...V was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?...
''Yes," was his incredulous reply..
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it."

Diet

We've been on an official diet since last Wednesday. I vow to be in a bikini by labor day!

I weighed this morning and lost 8 pounds!!!!!

Brent has been dieting for about 3 weeks and is down 14 pounds!!

Easter

We had a lovely relaxing Easter weekend.

Friday night we dyed eggs. Logan was super excited about dying eggs when Brent got home that he couldn't hardly stand it.

Due to an impromptu decision to go to Tybee for the day on Sunday, the Easter Bunny came Saturday morning. He got the big boys exactly the same thing, but color coded everything so we knew whose was whose when they started fighting over them. Logan's was all blue, Nate's all green. They got sidewalk chalk, bubbles, water guns, sand bucket, big bouncy balls, flashlight, bat and ball (Logan), ball glove (Nate), one single pack of M&M's, and I'm sure a couple little things I'm forgetting. Of course the Easter Bunny couldn't leave Graham out. He got bunny ears, lotion, a stuffed bunny, a couple rattles and soft hand toys. Later that day we went to Brent's coworker's house for a little Easter gathering. They had a nice outdoor area so we all relaxed while the boys ran around creating mischief. We went to Easter service at church Saturday evening. After the Saturday services they had an Easter egg hunt. Poor little Nate had to hunt eggs with preschoolers (and their greedy parents! You wouldn't have believed the parents throwing eggs in their kids baskets, taking away from the other kids!) so he only ended up with 4 little eggs. He was so proud of those 4 eggs though! Logan, of course, got a basket full.

The best I could get....Nate was not having it!

Getting ready to hunt eggs.

Sunday morning we headed to the beach!! It only took us about 3 hours and that was stopping on the side of the interstate in the middle of no where to let Logan pee and stopping another time to let Graham eat. It was really more crowded than I thought it would be, but we had a great time anyways. The boys played in the sand, chased birds, put their toes in the water (too cold for swimming!). They played so hard and didn't have a nap, but were still in good spirits. We decided we were hungry so we headed for the car, changed diapers and clothes. Nate went first and he was asleep before I even got the other two changed. Poor thing was tired! Then, of course, all three of them are out before we make it 2 miles down the road to the restaurant. It's amazing what that 5 minute power nap can do for them, so of course the big boys were awake for most of the ride home. It was mostly a peaceful drive and we got some much needed family time!
