Happy October

It has been a busy month for us. Here are some of the things we did in the past two weeks.

Celebrated Carter's 1st birthday. He had a chocolate cupcake cake made to look like a baseball. He really enjoyed his cupcake and all of his presents too!

We went to the neighborhood pumpkin patch and selected our pumpkins. The kids mostly liked riding in the wheel barrow.

Finished the girls Halloween costumes. I LOVE to make them every year.

Aunt Ardy's spooky Halloween Bash. I am already thinking about our costumes for next year!

Ava's preschool program. Miss Lisa and Miss Shaun are the best.

Trick or Treating at Bammy's work, Lori's work, the neighborhood party, both girl's dance and on Haloween night with cousins.

Whew!! Good thing Halloween is over. I am exhausted. I am looking forward to a nice relaxing holiday, like Christmas.

Another one bites the dust

This week I lost another pound. Two for two!! I am considering this success because I really only watch what I eat on the weekdays. And by that I mean Monday to Thursday.

Project 3.0 pounds

Well, I didn't quite make my mark. I only lost one pound. So that will make this week project 3.0 pounds. I guess I can't make my goal AND eat an entire basket of Chili's chips and salsa, amongst other goodies. But I sure enjoyed it while I ate it, and now it is off to the jogging stroller.

Goodbye summer

Goodbye summer we will miss you.

Project 1.5 pounds

So. . . . I weighed myself today. After 24 hours of hunger and self deprevation I am .2lbs HEAVIER than I was the day before. AWESOME. I think I will reward myself with a trip to the gym and attempt so many tri dips I woun't be able to brush my teeth. YEAH!!!! I love project 1.5 pounds.

10 Pounds by Thanksgiving

I would like to invite you (I don't know if any one actually reads my blog because lately no one ever leaves a comment) to join me on a journey, a quest if you will. I would like to be 10 pounds lighter by Thanksgiving. I am asking for your help. If you see me gazing loningly at the apple fritters at the grocery store, gently steer me away. If you hear of a receipe that makes water taste like molten lava cake, let me know. If you see me running on the side of the road, drive behind me and help me do some "speed training". I will report my weight loss progress every Friday. Leave an encouraging comment if you can, but please keep and and all, "Lisa, you fat lard. Come eat your food." comments, to your self. Let's go week one, or should I say project 1.5 pounds.

The happiest place on Eartth

Two weeks ago we took our kids to Disneyland. We had a great time. There will be more pictures to come soon. Right now I have to go work on two Halloween Costumes.

Soon

Soon. Yes, very soon you will be out there running too.

But not yet.

This summer you get to fall asleep in my arms and stay close to me.

Next summer I promise I will chase you and you can be "big"

but, this summer you still have to be little.
