Emma: Mommy, I have a surprise for you. It’s in the potty and I’m going to get a sticker!
And the words I never thought I’d say…
I love surprises in the potty!

wow
So sweet.
Officially gone
St & Sh had their last day yesterday. The dinner they had last night was pretty low-key. No major speeches or tears or anything. I really think they are ready to move on and although I’m not really ready for them to leave, I’m really happy for them. I still was tearing up last night leaving the church thinking about them leaving. Especially after hearing the interview with the new prospect was not promising. But I’m trying to trust that this is going to work out.
It’s official
Guess who made it to goal this morning!!!??? Woo Hoo! It’s official, it took 18 days on weight watchers to lose 6 lbs. I stepped on the scale at least 10 times to be sure I was seeing right. I’m so happy I’ve done this, I can definitely tell a difference. A skirt that had gotten pretty tight and wasn’t fitting quite right fit perfectly this morning for church. It’s wonderful. I said from the beginning my goal was 6 and if I was being greedy, maybe 8 so I’m not stopping quite yet. But if I maintain where I am, I’m perfectly fine with that as well.
My family thought I was crazy for going on a “diet” but those few 6 lbs made a difference to me. No one can even tell but I can tell every morning when I put my clothes on and that’s what matters. I have to be happy with me. And I’d like to say it’s not a numbers game, but I think in some ways it is. My body was different to me 6 lbs ago. My sister rolled her eyes at me when I told her today I made my “goal”–all 6 lbs. But to me, losing any amount of weight is a success and I’d much rather have to lose 6 lbs than 66. So there’s my pat on the back. Go me.
Keeping busy
Keeping busy this weekend but nothing extremely exciting to report. Almost all our spare time is spent in the pool. It has been so nice this week with the temp over 100.
Last night after we dropped the kids at ILs to spend the night, we went out to eat at Rafferty’s for our we-didn’t-get-to-go-out-for-our-anniversary dinner. When we got home we I (Scott fell asleep within minutes) watched Deja Vu. That was an excellent. movie. That might be a good one to buy. And I don’t do that often.
This morning I stayed in bed until about 10 and then cleaned, cleaned and cleaned some more until dinner time. Then Scott and I made dinner for us and Mom, Dad and Heather. We made our “famous” Tilapia dinner including sweet potato casserole, corn on the cob, yeast rolls and brownies and banana pudding for dessert. Yum. So now Emma is watching some recorded LazyTown and Lexi fell asleep literally in the pool while Heather was holding her.
I need to get something together for Sunday School in the morning. I skipped a few lessons through the year so now I’m left with nothing these next few weeks.
We also have Disturbia for us me to watch tonight. I heard it might be hard to sleep after that so maybe I’ll get to make some more updates to my theme later on…

sorry if things don’t look great yet, still working on tweaking it
Mommy talk addition
Yeah, so this one is sorta embarassing but it has to go down on paper. This is one of those things you thought you’d never say or even have to say. These are the words out of my mouth yesterday:
Lexi, you don’t stick your fingers in people’s hineys!
Yeah, not too pleasant. Let me qualify what happened. We were on the back porch. Lexi had her swimsuit on. I was changing Emma and at this point, Emma was naked. Lexi stands behind Emma, leans down and quickly poked a couple of her fingers right at Emma’s behind. Which immediately prompted the quote above. I know, gross and embarrassing. That’s motherhood for ya.
A first
There are so many firsts that mothers love to witness but I’m not sure I ever prepared myself for the fact that I would witness my child’s first wedgie. Yes, I said it and I’m not even sure I spelled it right.
We were in the pool and Lexi’s bathing suit apparently got pulled up and stuck on one side. And I guess she didn’t realize her butt actually had a crack in it (sorry for the description but there’s really no ladylike way to say that) so she looks up with a very distressed look on her face and says:
My hiney’s broke!
