Funny Story

So, the other day Todd bought a Wii video game set with controls and games and such. We are going to surprise the kids for Christmas with the game so he was like a little kid opening up the package when it arrived. He decided that we needed to "try it out" before we wrap it up for Christmas. So early Saturday morning, we get the kids their breakfast and then go into our room, lock the door, and try out the Wii. Shortly afterwards, Breigh finished her br:akfast and she listened to what was going on just outside of our bedroom. She could hear the sounds from the video game coming from our room. This is how it played out:

BREIGH: "I wanna play!"
TODD: "You can't play it just yet, it's a surprise".
BREIGH: "But I wanna play too, pleeeeze!"
TODD (I could KILL him for saying this): "We're not dressed yet".
BREIGH: "Why are you guys dancing around naked?!?!?....... You can imagine my horror....lol!
ME: (hitting my husband)... "WHY DID YOU TELL HER THAT?!?!?"
BREIGH: You guys are kind of freakin' me out right now!

We were both on the floor rolling with laughter. Next time we'll have to find a better excuse! :)

SparkPeople

Well, here it is October and I was hoping to lose 10 lbs by now but I lost 6 and I really can't complain. A dear friend of mine who has inspired me (who she herself has lost 65 lbs!!! go Feather!) has directed me to a site which I LOVE and felt that I really needed to blog about it and share my new find with others.

www.sparkpeople.com is the best site I have found to help me to lose weight. It has meal plans, fitness and nutrition trackers for people to track their weight progress. And the best part it is... it's completely FREE! It has been very informative for me, so anyone who is trying to lose weight, give sparkpeople a try!

So I don't know what has gotten into me this year, but I have been bitten by the holiday bug early this year. Usually I wait until halfway through the month and the thought will go through my mind..."hmmm, I guess I should put up some decorations" and then the thought will quickly pass and before I know it, Halloween is over. But, the kids really live for this kind of stuff and so we had fun decorating halloween cupcakes the other day. It's amazing how fast those cupcakes went, some of which the frosting had mysteriously disappeared from the top of the cupcake...hmmmm.

Anyways, then last night for family home evening, I thought the kids would have fun decorating the house in cobwebs so we had fun putting our creativity to work! I think it looks pretty festive if I do say so myself. :)
