Summer Slow Down

Ah Summer...lazy days and fun nights...I wish

However the days this week have been a lot less crazy...thank goodness. This past weekend we were able to relax and enjoy our house it was nice. The kids are getting back into a routine and I'm finally having a little "ME" time in the evenings. I've enjoyed the time pruning my rose bushes (dude we have a lot of plants, know much about all plants come on over I don't know a thing) and reading...finally I'm reading again. Dalton is signed up for the Summer Reading program at our local library and decided that as long as we're there every week I should be reading too!

So I've started this series. So far so good...I love that there are 17 books in this series so far that means I don't have to think about what I'm going to read next which was really a job in itself. If you have any suggestions on what to read next leave me a comment. P.S. Isn't the public library a great addition to any community...I mean really it's great entertainment (reading is) and it can be FREE.

I've also decided (again I know) that I really need to lose some weight...I'm lighter than I was before getting pregnant with Soph but I'd really like to be at least to my Wedding Day weight which is 20 lbs to go. So Saturday morning I tried something new Jazzercise...and I'm immediately hooked! It really is so.much.fun. and my calves were sore for days!!! Right now I can really only make it on Saturday mornings...but you can bet I'm already looking forward to that next class! I've signed up for the FREE website MyFitnessPal and working on watching those calories...It always helps to be accountable to someone this site helps you stay accountable to yourself. Next up Running and this!

My first 5/K in like 2 or 3 years. So that's what's going on with me this summer! Hope your summer's going good too!

Pregnant Pool Days Rock!!!!

Even though everyone else is cringing that the water is cold...it's a huge relief for the pregnant woman! While other ladies are sucking in their stomachs and pulling on the cover ups for once the pregnant woman can strut her big belly in style and not worry about what everyone else is saying. You're pregnant...flaunt it!!!!

The downsides...your stomach is so big you can't bend over to paint your toe nails very well and really don't want to pay the $30 for a pedicure since you'll be spending a lot of time at shallow end of the pool with your kiddo and the said pedicure won't last for long at all. PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT MY TOE NAILS!!! Also I think that my skin hates me and so I try to keep sunglasses on to cover up that horrible skin discoloration cause I know my make up will wash right off. Also it appears to like to burn just a little easier! OUCH...hence the reason we only went to the pool once this weekend.

OH ya the other MAJOR good point about the pool. It tuckers out your little ones so once you pack up and go home both 4 year old and mama get to take a 2 hour nap!!!
