GirL(boy) TiMe

I decided to paint my finger nails today, well Kanon said he wanted his painted. So he painted his own toenails. I don't know what his dad is going to say when he gets home. I guess that is the closest I will get to having girl time. ( I wouldn't trade my boys any day though)

ReaLitY I THiNK HaS FiNaLLy SeT iN

I've decided today that I am FiNaLLy oK with the way that my body is. I may have all thoes pants pilled in my closet that I had hope would fit one day or the swimsuit I said I would wear when I lost a little. I have killed myself with getting up early (while everyone smart is still sleeping) to hit the gym to have no results (besides muscle gain). I have three cute boys to show for what I look like today. It all has come down to that I like food way to much and I am not willing to give up and eat things that are tasteless, greaseless and not sweet. I want to be able to eat the second piece of cake if it sounds good and even the first for matter of fact. I know I don't have the metabolism I had in high school when I could eat a hostess and pepsi every day and not gain a pound. So I will continue to exercise so I can continue to eat all that I want and I will be happy with the way that I look because I am unwilling to make any other changes.

RuLeS or No RuLeS

Well my kids think that our RuLeS are very uNFaiR and that it is not FaiR that they can't do what they WaNT when they WaNT. So we decided for one week they would make their own "Rules" for the most part and they would have to pay the consequence of their own choices for their rules. Well they thought this sounded great. But after the first day they were begging for some rules because nothing was getting done for them and it wasn't as easy and great as they thought. By the end of the week they had learned a good lesson (I hope). Here is one example of what happened that week. Daxton decided one day he wasn't going to do his homework because he wanted to play instead so when he went to school the next day with no homework completed his teacher (which new ahead of time what we were doing with the no rules) said he would have to stay in at recesse and do his homework. Well he decided to do it while she was reading instead well to make a long story short she threw that one away and he ended up missing two recesses for not following directions. He came home and said he would never not do his homework. Now they understand RULES are here for a Reason!!!

Sledding

We went sledding for the first time this year with my family. It was alot of fun. Thanks to grandma Conna for planning such a fun day of sledding with hot chocolate and soup afterwards. Bracken was the chauffeur on his sled "snowmobile" (the only kind of sled you will find him on) taking us back up the hill, it sure beats walking.
