Race Day

Futral Road Elementary had their Annual Heart Hustle Saturday. We entered Bo in the Tot Trot. This was his first official race. I think he is going to be our little marathon runner. It was thirty degrees...yes, really, it was. But, that didn't stop our little Bo man. He absolutely loved every minute of it. He ran with his friend Lillee Grace and they were too cute for words. Bo kept shouting "This is fun Mommy, This is fun". When he crossed the finish line, we were so thankful, because our faces and lips were numb and the snot oozing from all of our noses was frozen...seriously! But, Bo asked if he could run again. The little trooper would have run the race ten times if we would have let him. He had such a blast. We had a great weekend!

Busy Bees

Wow, we are off and running this week. I was hoping to write about our weekend, but never got around to it. We had a very laid back weekend...we seem to like those around here. Bo and I took Ryan lunch to the baseball field Saturday. Bo loved it because he got to wear his monster boots and followed his Daddy all around the field. We didn't stay long because the high was only 42....too cold for us! The rest of the weekend was spent indoors cleaning,playing and watching cartoons. We did get a chance to eat at Five Guys this weekend in Peachtree City...yummy, yum! This is similar to In and Out Burger which we just loved when we went to Phoenix. The highlight of my weekend was painting my bedroom furniture...yes, you heard me right, painting my bedroom furniture. I will post before and after pics this coming weekend when I finish doing the other pieces. I took our old furniture and decided to spray paint it black and put new drawer pulls on........it looks fabulous! My friends that have seen it can't believe it's the same dresser. It really does look like it came from Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn. I am very impressed, if I do say so myself. Hopefully I'll have some good pics to post early next week of the finished room. That was our weekend in a nutshell. As for yesterday and today, we have been extremely busy doing the everyday stuff. Tonight I had a school board meeting to attend and so once again, I missed Pilates......(very sad about this) Anyway Jenn and I need to get on our regular program soon. I say 5:15 in the morning.....she says 8:30 at night........only time will tell. It just needs to warm up first before we do anything. If only my treadmill would decide to work that would be fabulous, but no, it's finally decided that it needs a break from me and so that means the fat is going to creep back on if I'm not careful. I didn't lose 35 pounds for nothing.....i still need to lose about 15 and I will be completely and utterly satisfied once and for all. So for now, I'll try to cut back on the little debbies, mickey d's, d-nuts, regular cokes, brownies,cakes,school lunches,sweet tea....JUST KIDDING MOM....got ya didn't I? My mom, god love her...she has always pestered me about staying healhty and eating right and Dad just wants me to eat everything....food is very big in our family but somehow we somewhat all manage to stay within normal weight limits. Well it's about that time when I should lay my sleepy head on my pillow and as Bo would say "it's time to take a nap" ---

Appreciated!!!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. This has been a very busy week. I thought the title of this post was appropriate because it decribes how I feel. My family has really shown how much they appreciate me this week. Ryan made sure he was home in time both Tuesday and tonight so that I could go to Pilates. I haven't been since before Christmas and it felt great getting back into the groove. Ryan knows that next month it will be impossible because of baseball to be home in time for me to enjoty pilates with my friends so he went and bought me the dvd so I could do it at home. He also told me he would clean the entire kitchen when he got home and would also cook dinner for us! Wow. How fortunate I am. How thoughful! Last night while Bo and I were eating dinner, he said "Mommy, this is delicious and thank you so much, I appreciate it" Ok, I',m still not sure how he learned the word appreciated, but is was adorable to hear him say that. He kept repeating it over and over. I was wondering if Ryan had a hidden camera somewhere in the house telling him to say those things, but he was just saying them on his own. It is amazing how fast they grow up. Yesterday was also a fun day for Bo at school. He took a picnic to share with his class. It started off by me wanting to take grapes to share with his class because they would just go bad before we had a chance to eat them here at home. So I decided they should have some Mickey Mouse cheese and crackers to go with it. I didn't have anything to transport all the goodies, so I dug up a picnic basket we had and Bo thought it was the greatest idea ever. He was so proud carrying that basket into school. His teacher was so thrilled that the class had an inside picnic, since it was absolutely freezing outside. Fun was had by all. We will definately have to make this something we do at least once a month. As you can tell, Bo was exhausted from the day's activities. Sweet dreams to all!
