Justin has been making progress!

When we have been home Justin is either in Underwear or running around Naked. He is doing awesome with using the potty!
Just the other day he has learned to pull down his undies if he needs to go pee. And one time when he was naked he had a poop on the potty! He hardly ever has any accidents.
This afternoon he is running around naked and he came to me saying "poop" so I put him on and he pooped! His second time!!! Yeah for Justin.
I am a very proud Momma for sure.
I see Preschool in his near future. If he keeps this up. I am a bit relieved let me tell you.
Hannah is doing well. Learning to write new words every day. Now she can write Food,cat,dog,two,too,to,pig. Daddy has been teaching her a new word each night when he reads stories to her.
Yesterday she actually got sick. Totally not expecting that at all. Had no warning. Had an awful mess to clean up as well as a very upset little girl to tend to. No fun at all. Usually when this happens, for some reason Robin is home. Not sure how exactly the kids work this out but they do. I am glad too! They don't get sick unless it's at night OR on weekends.
I feel soo useless when the kids get sick. There is nothing we,as a Mom can do. We can only hug them and tell them everything will be ok. Nothing else we can do.
I am going to an all day Scrap booking workshop tomorrow. 8:30am to 4:30pm. I am looking forward to it. I need time to myself and this is my time. Poor Hannah has dance class on Saturdays and my Scarpbooking always fall on this day too. I think me and Robin have wroked it out that he will drive me to the workshop before he takes Hannah to dance class. He has never done this before and just is not used to taking the kids out alone. It will sure be a new adventure for him. But I have all the confidence in him. And he will be fine!

So yup that is all that's new here. I'll be in touch!

I have started walking again.

I have started walking again. It all began last Monday and have gone everyday except Thursday. But last night I went for an extra long walk so I think that makes up for Thursday.
I take Robin's I.POD with me. And I have a great time. I am by myself with tunes on and just enjoying listening to music and reminiscing about my day that I just had.
If anyone knew me way back when, Knows that I used to walk all the time. I was known as "the girl with the headphones"! I loved it. I would wake up early and go for a walk. Go back to bed only to wake up and go. I lived to walk. Some might call it boredom. But I sure did enjoy it.
Since I have had kids and a hubby I have not been walking as much as I used too. Things at home here keep me busy.
I am hoping this gets me in the swings of thing to loose weight and look after myself better.
Here is hoping!

I made up Justin's mind today!

I have been trying to potty train Justin for awhile now. He is great if he is nude. He will run right to the potty if he needs to go. But the undies thing is a bit of a challenge. He has accidents and I have been procrastinating. Waiting for him to tell me some how that he is ready to say "bye bye to diapers".
Well, I have finally come to the conclusion today that if I waited for him then he would still be in diapers the day he gets married. Lol.
So I have decided that from tomorrow on anytime he is home he will be in his undies. Unless we go out or if he is in bed.
I do think he will be able to master this pretty quickly.
I want him to go to preschool in September and he has to be potty trained. This puts a lot of pressure and stress on me!
He is a very smart boy and I do think he will get this down pat. I, as his Mommy just need to stick to my guns and do this too!
Stay tuned for updates on our progress! :)

Easter Day 2009

Well here it is Easter afternoon. I think the Bunny did good this year! Kids seem to be happy with what he left behind.
Hannah was up at 7:01 exactly (her normal waking time). She came into our room to tell us what Justin got in his basket. Didn't even look to see what she got. Funny!
So me and hubby got out of bed to share the morning with the kids! Hannah found every thing in her Easter basket. A coloring book, bunny chalk, a duck bracelet,and artsy flower she can make out of jewels, and tone of chocolates. Hannah is so much like her Dad it is not funny! She shows no enthusiasam at all! Just so very calm but you can tell you likes the things
At this point Justin woke up so he looked in his basket as well! In his there was a Mickey mouse club house coloring book ,a dinky,cars,Diego drinking cups,and eggs chalk as well. Now Justin is like me. He was so excited to see everything! It's funny how two kids in the same family can have such different mannerisms.
Then we did the hunt for the eggs! Hannah had a blast. She did great fining them. The bunny keeps hiding the eggs harder each year. Justin did great to but he needed a bit of help.
Right now the turkey is in the oven. Yummy! I sure hope it turns out well. I have only made a turkey a few times now. And Stacey (my older sister) is usally here or around to help me out. She just called and told me I goofed up. I put the Turkey in without the top on for a half hour at 400 degrees. I was supposed to put it in with the top ON at 425 degrees! I sure hope this will not make a huge difference! I will be so upset. Oh well. I guess we'll see!
With the Turkey we will be having mashed potaoes, carrots, sweet potatoes,and stuffing. All my family loves my Mom home made stuffing and I feel like when I make a turkey supper for my family I have to make her stuffing. It's a lot of work so I though I'd slack and but the boxed kind. It's still good. And of course cranberry sauce! Gotta have that!
Sure hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!!

I need to change my life style!

I am soo darn excited. Robin is coming home from work today with a wii fit! He's getting it from a co worker fro $80.00. I think that is a good deal. It has only been used twice and they are soo hard to find.
I am hopping that having the fit will give me the incentive to get on the band wagon and start loosing weight.
I am finding it harder to do things. I keep having to catch my breath. And my legs hurt if I am on my feet for a period of time.
I know that I need to loose weight! I have been aware of this for awhile now. But it is sooo hard to get into the groove of it. Once I am in that mind frame loosing weight is sooo much easier.
I did loose weight in the past.Not a HUGE amount. But at least I know that I can do it. And I feel proud of myself once I have started.
I know what I have to do and I just have to do it! I want to be around when my kids get married and have kids of their own. I know it will be awhile yet. But I death scarres me! I sooo worry about having a heart attack! I worry about Hubby having one as well and him leaving me. God forbid that EVER happens!
So here is hoping that the WII FIT helps me to get my groove on!!!
I sure need to change my life style!
