Welcome Spring!

I am so excited Spring is here. Spring and Fall are my two favorite seasons, just warm enough not to be all sweaty and to enjoy the outdoors.

We've already made a trip to the park and started doing yard work outside. Last year we spent way too much time inside because we had a lot of indoor repairs and improvements we were trying to get done before Ben was born.

The boys are doing great. Our house is finally healthy. Zachary is having a little bit of allergy problems, his singul.ar doesn't seem to be working as well as it has in the past. I'm going to call his pediatrician this week to see if we're able to give him anything else to supplement it. We are signing Zachary up for t-ball again this year. I left several messages with the local organization because we missed the original sign up but no one has called me back yet. I guess that's something else to add to my to do list.

Ben is standing up on everything. He wakes up in the middle of the night and stands up in his crib and jumps and cries until someone rescues him. We've started him on little finger snack foods and he's enjoying making a mess. He's also on stage 3 foods, juice and using a sippy cup. I really want to hold off getting his first haircut until he's a year old but I don't think we'll be able to. His hair is long and in his eyes and hanging over his ears. We had Zachary's cut a few days before his first birthday and it made him look so much older. I don't want to do that with Benny yet. I want to keep him my baby forever.

We had to go shopping yesterday to get the boys new Spring clothes. Ben was completly out of clothes he could wear. He's in 12 month clothes now. Zachary needed a few good pairs of shorts and t-shirts. We were able to find Zachary a good pair of summer sandles as well. I got a new purse and a few pair of Old Navy flip flops. The only flip flops I wear are Old Navy because they are comfy and I like the way they fit.

Saturday night I got to go out with my friends for a little bit while my parents watched the boys and took them to visit my grandparents (their great grandparents). I haven't seen my one friend since she got married nearly 5 years ago! She has a little boy who is 10 months old and is doign great. I was so happy to get to see her. It's been too long that we've been out of contact. She is happy and doing well. My other friend lives in the same town as us so I see her often. She and I try to go to lunch a few times a month. She's getting married in 2 weeks and is stressing over the last minute details.

Operation Wii Fit get Misti Fit isn't going as well as I wanted it to. I need a "I hate food pill". It's so damn hard to manage what I eat when I enjoy eating so much. My first goal was a few pounds before my friends wedding (the one mentioned above) but I most likely won't get there. The Wii is doing okay, but in the first three days I gained a quarter of a pound. What the hell! Wrong direction Mr. Scale. It's really hard for me to focus. Especially when I live in a house where the boys eat nothing but junk food and fatty food. It's really hard to cook two different meals all the time. Mike and Zachary refuse to eat healthier, more veggies and fruits, less fast food and less processed foods. Nope....that's what they prefer. I did purchase a lot of Smart Ones meals for me to have at lunch and I packed my lunch almost every day last week. I forgot my lunch today, so fast food it is.

I am just so tired of being a lard ass - I want to be the skinny girl I once was!!!!

I have pictures of the boys to post but I need to get them off my digital camera. Cuteness at the park! I'll download them tonight or tomorrow.
