Jillian Michaels

Today I started the Jillian Michael's 20-day shred. Really this is the first work out video that I've started doing. It's hard- in a good way. However, the 'music' is terrible! I'm planning on doing 20 days of it. Oh boy, I hope I can stick to it!


I found him like this at the door wanting to go out and play. You think he likes sports?

Doctor's Visit

We took David to the after hours doctor today because he had a red bumpy rash all over his chest and stomach. Turns out it was just heat rash and the doctor prescribed 'keep him cool' haha. We are actually trying to get outdoors as much as possible before we start our deep summer 100+ weather hibernation indoors.

Recently David has really been giving us a hard time! Everything is 'By Myself'. If he does not get to do it by himself, or even in exactly the way he wants to then he throws a huge temper tantrum. Now I know why they call it the terrible 2's. For example, the other day he went pee in the little toilet and ran off to play, and I dumped and flushed the pee. He heard and freaked out because he wanted to do it, he even tried to pee again so he could dump it, then when he couldnt he threw a huge TT. He even wants to do random things like take his shirt down from the hanger. I'm trying to use this newfound independence for the good and get him to do things like clean and put his dirty clothes in the hamper.

He's also driving us crazy with this 'line leader' thing. I guess he learned it at preschool. He constantly proclaims 'I'm the line leader' and then throws out his arms and legs and won't let us through the door unless we follow him or he has to be in front of us. We try not to give in all the time because we don't want to create a monster!

More from Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday I gave the boys haircuts (just another way to save some money) and it turned out, well not so good. Usually I just use the buzzer all around and I can do that great! But, I want to give a scisser cut on top so its not as short and I stink at it. I watched on YouTube how to do it, but it was difficult because it was like 5 videos split up. Anyhow, maybe with some practice it will get better? Also, my pictures are super crummy because they were with a disposable camera...ah camera troubles!

This weekend I made my own granola! I have to admit I am rather proud of myself. I am not a cook by any means. We like granola and its so expensive for such a little amount at the grocery store. It turned out really good and was super easy to make (I just googled a recipe). David even helped me make it. It doesn't taste exactly like the kind you get at the store, but close enough! (on a random note, at the grocery store I realized 1, yes just one, red pepper is $4.99, can you believe that?)

We also went to the pool this weekend. David refused to get in at first because he didn't want to get his shoes wet. Once he realized his shoes could get wet he loved the water. I got burnt. What else is new?

Saturday Fun Easter Weekend

We went to Mimi and Papa's house this weekend because I had a bridal shower to go to on Saturday in ATL. We ended up going to the most awesome Easter egg hunt in Loganville called 'corndawgs' on Saturday that had all kinds of events like a tractor ride, petting animal area, a slide, just so much stuff and the best part was it was all FREE! Once again, I didn't have a camera but Aunt Carol (who happened to be at my parents house this weekend too!) let us borrow hers and even made me a CD of the pics. Thanks Aunt Carol!
