Here are a few things from the weekend (in which I am including last Friday) that I think are noteworthy.
- I take back everything I said about Katherine Heigl here. She was on Oprah on Friday and kept going on about how she got her teeth fixed. Now she IS flawless and she is no longer my celebrity BFF.
- I got to go to the mall yesterday BY MYSELF!! It was like I was having some sort of out of body experience. This is twice that I’ve gone out alone, without the kids in a 9 day time period. Like my mother has always said, miracles do happen.
- On said shopping trip I discoved that purchasing new underwear is not as fun as it used to be…
- I entered a ton of giveaways last week and have yet to be notified that I won anything, however, I sent my winner her prize yesterday and truly hope that she enjoys it.
- The B Man had a couple of play”dates” today. In the afternoon he got to hang out with Sydney and this evening he got to hang out with Chloe. I would say he did pretty good in the girlfriend department, if you know what I mean! 🙂
- Tim did a few things around the house this weekend that needed to be taken care of (a.k.a worked on his “honey do” list). It is “handy” to have him around. I know… bad pun…
- I had the realization that Lent begins THIS WEEK and I would like to “give up” something this year. I have decided that it’s going to be fast food, primarily french fries or anything resembling them such as waffle fries (oh that hurts!), tater tots, etc. It will be hard but has to be done. I actually hope it makes me want the stuff less… but that theory is a total long shot. I will keep you “posted” on how it goes (ha!) Are you giving anything up? Let me know so I can feel less alone…
- Little G has started playing that game where you put something in front of him and he throws it down on the floor and can repeat the action 100 times. He’s also playing that game where he can pull up next to pretty much anything and I don’t think that one is nearly as much fun since this means he can get into even more stuff around here. That little monkey is quite intent on growing up!!
- I took a walk with the boys in the double stroller yesterday and pushed them up 3 fairly steep hills in our neighborhood. Don’t be impressed. I barely made it up the 3rd and just proved that I am terribly out of shape.
- I got a free pretzel from Auntie Anne’s yesterday b/c they were giving them away to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Hence the need for the walk…
- I have a couple of the cutest boys on the planet (possibly THE cutest boys…) and here’s some proof
aww they certainly are precious boys! 🙂
Thanks for finding me! I’ll be back to visit! 🙂
Your boys are adorable!! You know I’m partial to the hair sticking up. I still need to find a picture of Emily like that.
Oh, the mall by yourself…that is awesome! I’ll have to agree on underwear shopping, though…no fun at all anymore. I think about the only thing worse is bra shopping!
Hopefully it isn’t weird to discuss underwear but I have to TOTALLY agree with you that it is NOT fun to shop for anymore. I was feeling so good about myself last Saturday that I too bough some new undies. They were $2.99 a pair which is pretty expensive in my book when I am used to paying $4.95 for a pkg. of 6 white Hanes underwear. These new ones were frilly and oh so cute. They were that new boy’s brief look. Let’s just say they didn’t quite fit me the way I had envisioned them to look. I don’t think you can take back underwear can you?
Hi Elaine! I’m up in the middle of the night and baby is not. What is wrong with this picture?! Here from PPP- hello : ). Little G’s hair id so darn cute and um yeah, buying undies just isn’t fun, esp since I am no longer a Size 4…..was I ever a Size 4?
I LOVE the “old” pictures of the boys!
So, how did the whole fast food fries give up thing work for you?
awe. i love the old pics.
and wow, didn’t realize lent came so much earlier last year.
I can’t see the pictures for some reason? I am so proud of how far you have come….barely making it up a hill to running 5k! Yay Elaine!
I wasn’t a reader a year ago? Weird, it seems like we have “known” each other forever!
Those adorable pics? Definitely worth a re-visit!
Cute pictures! They look so little! How sweet! 🙂
aw. look how much the boys have grown!!! and i’m with kami…look how far you have come with your fitness!
oh and thanks, cause now i am wanting french fries or a big soft pretzel. ummm…i better just go to bed.
Such cute pics! And how fun to look back at what you were doing and thinking!
