Subway Days

Who doesn’t love Subway right?!? One day after going to the gym, I really wanted a subway sandwich. So to justify my craving and in the name of healthy living I thought it might be a good idea to walk to Subway. Then I could justify loading my sandwich with all the things I like! I talked to my friends Karen and Kara about walking to subway together, because they go to the gym with me too – (Plus it was closer to walk to subway from their houses anyway)! They were game… literally! Karen made the fun suggestion to walk to get the sandwiches and then walk back to her house to play games. More specifically to play “Ticket to Ride”. What can we say… the game is addicting! It must be because we keep playing even though we know Karen always wins! (ha/ha) All it took was once and we were hooked! Each week our group seemed to get larger and larger. Now it is commonly known that Wednesday’s are subway game days. We make sure we schedule shopping, doctors appointments and other “non-essential” activities around our Wednesday afternoons! Priorities right?!?

Mimi's Birthday!

I'm beginning to think that I love other people's birthday's almost as much as my own. Today was Mimi McCain's birthday and for her birthday she wanted to do a girls night of dinner and a movie. I wondered if she understood that was a present for us all! Thanks Mimi! Anyway we went to dinner at the "Sushi Garden". For those who know me this is the last place you would think me to eat, but they had some great non-fishy food as well. I decided that tempura vegetables are my absolute favorite! I tried a California roll, which I was told had no fish in it. It was the worst tasting thing I have ever tasted!! After Kara and Sabrina tried it they agreed that it was pretty bad, and then everyone at the table collectively decided I needed to try one of their rolls, so I would know that not all rolls taste that bad. Only one major problem... they all had fish in them. They insisted that the one I tried tasted more like nasty fish than any of the rolls they ordered. So here I am __ years old and still succumbing to peer pressure. (J/K) - I was a little curious, but not enough to actually eat one. After a few moments, ok maybe minutes, I decided to try it. There was one called a Tiger roll that had a sweet and sour taste with a kick. I scrapped off the orange fish eggs as best I could... I still have my limits, and carefully dipped the tiger roll into the sauce and placed the whole bite in my mouth at once. According to other's accounts of the situation my face made a pretty intense grimace, which sent Mimi in search of her camera, which made me chew even faster, but in the end it was not so bad. I DID IT. I AT A TIGER ROLL FROM A SUSHI BAR!! " I must yell it from the top of someplace very high" (name that movie)-- Anyway all in all it was a fun dinner!

Then to top it off we all went and met up with more friends at the movies to see " Confessions of a Shopaholic". It was a really cute movie. A little predictable but cute and it actually had a great moral to the story! I love a good girls night out! Thanks again Mimi for sharing your special day with all of us!! I hope you had a great birthday!

100th Day of School

Everything is an event when your in kindergarten! Today was the big 100th day of school. I went to help out in Hailey's class for the big event, and I am glad I got to go and see the kids be so excited and have so much fun. Every center revolved around the number 100. We made necklaces, hats, glasses, and groupings. We stamped, ran, jumped, skipped, hopped, colored and counted everything to 100. Miss Ellerson had everything set up for a full 100th day of fun! Hailey just adores her!! Then of course the kids got to meet Zero the Hero- who shares with the kids how important zeros can be. After all "without the zero 100 would just be 1." They all took an oath to be zero hero's as well and learned the special zero salute. It was a fun day for Hailey and I am glad I was able to be there to be a part of it!

YES, THIS IS MY BOY!

A picture is worth a thousand words right?!? I think this picture says it all. My precious little boy in blue wearing my high heels. What can you do. He loves shoes. We were at the Pace's house on a sunday evening and I had taken my shoes off by the door. Not too much later I heard a clomp clomp coming through the kitchen. I was pretty sure it was Colby, but of all the things I thought to be making the clomping sound, it definately wasn't my shoes.

Didn't Want You To Be Too Comfortable

So one evening after dinner Brian was laying on the couch relaxing and having the girls rub his feet. (He's training them!) I decided I wanted a piece of the action so I went over and laid on Brian and put my feet up to get in on the deal. Colby immediately decided he wanted in on it as well, not really knowing the purpose, and not caring either way. So he insistantly climbed up and twisted his way into position. Then he kicked back and relaxed. I couldn't quite say the same for me and even less so for Brian. That's our Colby making himself comfortable. Please don't worry about the rest of us. ha/ha
