Friday fun!

It's been a short week at work but enough to get the kids settled back in! This afternoon we took Dj and the kids to the park to enjoy the 70 degree day before it gets cold again. Tomorrow is a sad day that comes before a sad week...I'll be attending a memorial service of a highschool/elementary friend.
Hopefully well have a better weekend with our lil guy feeling better!!

Toasts, Tostadas & Turkey

Feliz año nuevo! Happy 2012! We had our usual Family New Years at my parents. Our lil man hung in there like a trooper and stayed up till 2:15 am...Yes in the morning! We came home went to bed and had a nice calm day at home on New Years Day. Shaft and Phillip came over for the Cowboys game so I left them with a tostada bar while I went to my moms with Dj to have turkey! We are so blessed to have had a wonderful year with Dj and can't wait to see what the new year brings us!

Regalos!

Christmas was lots of fun this year I'll post about that later but wanted to share my lil man helping open his presents! Below is just a small glimpse of what he got! Just a little background his screwdriver is part of the toolbox Tia Rachel gave him for Christmas.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This is what we woke up to this morning!! SNOW!

Vacaciones!

What more can I say other than I <3 the vacation aspect of my job! My Christmas vacation officially started yesterday at 11 am. After work I went to have appetizers with my girls from work at Chili's. It's nice to talk normal talk with adults especially since we really only talk with 4 yr olds all day! After that I picked up munchkin man and we had lunch with dad! The best part of yesterday was being home by 12:30 and taking a nap in the middle of the day! This year I got some awesome gifts from my kids! I LLoOVEe hot cocoa mugs! Dj's godparents came over for a visit so that was nice to watch Dj play well actually bother the boys while they played video games with David! Today Dj and I slept in yes we didn't wake up till 8:30 this morning!! Sadly David has to work the rest of the week but at least we get to hang out with him during the day. Tonight we went out with a friend and played shhh my Christmas present!! More on that later!! I'm really looking forward to relaxing and getting some organization and re-arranging done!

Date Night 1.0

I think hurricane Katrina hit my work week..Monday's are always hard after holidays for any teacher but 4 yr olds take that way differently! In the middle of the day I found out I would lose one student and gain 4!! Yes you read that right 4 more! So you could only imagine how exhausting it is to start over! I've been tired and cranky this week and hate that constant feeling so I was very pleased web David asked lets do a date night!! So he made the plans and I was just along for the ride :) We went to the movies and saw Breaking Dawn--I can say I was disappointed! I've read all of Stefenie Meyers books and loved the movie in my head! After the movie we enjoyed a nice Alfredo's dinner and hung out with David's parents before heading home!

I think date night is a must from now on! Thanks Babe!

Looking forward to the family weekend we have planned!

A Sacred Heart

Wow! An intense title for an intense change in our lives! We have friends that are doing great on the road to a healthy life and weight. We always usually one at a time say I'm going to do this or that sounds great and we might for a couple days but this time it's a mutual decision that we are committing to a week long diet plan! A friend of David's actually gave him the plan and we went tonight and bought all we needed for the week. I am proud to say our fridge is full w veggies, fruit, milk and juice! Heres our ingredients and all that goodness in the pot!
This weekend we tried to relax some as much as we know how...David worked in the shop while I went shopping with Dj's Tia Rachel. Today David went to look at a truck while Dj and I ate breakfast and then went to Christmas in November with Memaw.
Next week is my last full week before Thanksgiving which is really nice to think of but also means we've got to get on the ball with our learning expectations!
I'll keep an update on our soup and diet change!
