Playing Catch Up

I have no idea where the last two weeks have gone! The kids had a wonderful time in Tennessee with the Grandparents. Tyler keeps telling me to take him back, but I don't have the heart to tell him that they probably need a break! I'm just kidding! It was kind of funny though, they all said how good the kids were while they were up there but when they got home, whoo! Tyler did nothing but run around and yell all weekend! I think he had contained himself as long as he could! They did both have a great time though. Craig and I also enjoyed the week of just being by ourselves. We both worked, but by the time evening came, it was almost like we were dating again - it was awesome! We talked and shopped and went out to eat, by ourselves and with friends. We went and got ice cream one night and cruised around town with the windows down and classic rock music blaring from the speakers - yea, we were in our minivan, but, hey, it was still fun! He took me clothes shopping and that is something that we rarely, if ever, get to do together, so that was a lot of fun also. Oh, and we had the great budget talk, and we didn't have to wait until after 9:00 p.m. when the kids were in bed! So, all in all, it was a great week for everyone.

My parents brought the kids back on Saturday and then spent a few days with us. I took a few pictures of the kids coloring eggs and opening their Easter baskets so I'll have to get those posted. We had a great time with my parents and, if you happen to know them and you are reading my blog, please tell my dad that you are so happy that he found his owl! :)

This week starts our baseball craziness. We will be at the ball field at least three nights a week, but at least the kids are playing at the same field so when games do overlap, we can split our time between games.

It seems that for some reason this week every blog and facebook status that I read is talking about people trying to lose weight or people just noticing that they need to lose weight. What's up with that? Must be summer is coming! I have started walking in the mornings again with a friend of mine. This was our first week and we were up stinkin' early! My alarm went off at 4:35 this morning and by 4:55 we were walking. Crazy, yes, but I miss boot camp and could feel all my newly toned muscles turning to flab again. Plus I do want to lose some more weight before our vacations this summer, so if that means getting up before 5:00 a.m., so be it!

I'm hosting bunko tonight! Yea! So, I've got to get off of this computer and get going so I'll be ready! Hope everyone has a great day!
