Wordless Wednesday - A Day Late

Remember my new chalkboard cookie jar? Jill decided to practice her mad writing skillz:

She was copying her Hello Kitty backpack. Obviously the 'O' just wouldn't fit. It's been a week now and we haven't erased it...what does this say about my family? My boys have also taken a perverse pleasure in showing anyone who walks in the door.

That's right, we got Hell O Kitty in our cookie jar. Beat that!

Wordless Wednesday

End of my summer flowers....



End of summer fun...(yes, he's using his sister as a sponge, they even 'soaped up' her belly so she'd slide better)

End of an era. The baby started school...her hair did NOT look like that when she left the house. (Makes me want to sing 'it's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel fine.')

Craving a little more Wordless Wednesday? Here you go!

Wordless Wednesday

A couple of weeks ago, Jen's kiddos spent the night with us. And for some reason we thought it would be a good idea to start a fire in the backyard with 7 children and 3 dogs. It was.

We had to take pics of the dogs to see how they were cooking!

Boys, nuff said.

This was my view from the hammock. This is country living at it's best. Instead of a fireplace, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and a bear skin rug, I get fire in a stump, burned hot dogs, and a hammock. Have mercy, I really do love my life! (Obviously I love my flip flops too, we had been at the dusty ballpark!)

Wordless Wednesday - Okay Not Really

30 minutes of this:

Makes my shirt look like this (digusting I know but my trainer will be so proud!):

Which results in this:

Sorry for the fuzzy pic! Of course the fridge repair guy (who was supposed to be here around lunchtime, maybe a little before) showed up at 10:15 while I was still sweating. Hate that! Well, I hate sweating and I also hate having to answer the door sweating and out of breath! Just doesn't look good.)

ANYWAY! The significance of those blurry numbers is they are the calories I burned during my 27 minute workout today. Yay Me! Now D, if you're reading, please stop. 510.6 calories to be exact, which I figure equals out to one of these:

and both of these:

And still have almost a 100 calories to spare. I should probably use those extra calories on a 100-calorie snack pack of some sort, you think?

What? You want me to waste my hard-earned calorie deficit on fruit and veggies?

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
