Lee has really committed to working out and eating healthier so we've both been exercising quite a bit, (although I have still not found the motivation to give up my desserts! For me, the purpose of exercising is so that I can eat what I want!) But it's been fun to work out together sometimes and to have something in common. He even did Hot Yoga with me, it was pretty funny, he looked like he was going to pass out after so he made me run into a convenience store to get him some electrolytes!
Dakota has started Musical Theatre, we were sad to find out the Hip Hop class was full, but she seems to be loving this class too! Basketball has started up again, and piano lessons, and we've gotten into a new system of chores which the kids are pretty enthusiastic about right now. I love Griffin's attitude, he is so happy and excited to be given the job of drying dishes this week instead of emptying the dishwasher. He is anxious to learn to wash the dishes too, but I'm not sure I'm quite ready for him to do it yet... Dakota just barely started and that already takes a lot of patience to help her do it instead of doing it for her! Oh and Scarlett has just started Nursery - HALLELUJAH! Church was getting so tough with her! She has been only one week on her own, but it went pretty well actually. They obviously gave her a sucker to keep her happy though because I picked her up in quite a stick mess! Oh well, it's worth it!
Anyway, it's nice to be back in routine, and Lee's work schedule has been quite slack lately, which is wonderful! Assuming he can still make enough money to pay our bills!
We have our trip to Mexico with my parents coming up in 18 days too, so we are all looking forward to that! Griffin always asks when it will be warm outside, so he is thrilled at the idea of wearing his bathing suit outside! Speaking of Griffin, he said something that I thought was just hilarious yesterday, so I wanted to write it down. We were talking about the older kids taking swim lessons with school right before our trip to Mexico and that they would be able to swim and show us what they learned. Griffin says, "But if you drown, that is NOT floating!" Ha ha, you think, Griffy??! Thanks for pointing out the obvious. What a funny kid. And he started the dinnertime prayer last night by saying, "1, 2, .... oh". Oops!
Here's a couple pictures of random moments lately. First of all the pictures of Scarlett with Lee are so sweet... she is such a Daddy's girl and always snuggles up to him, wants to give him hugs and kisses and never wants to let him go. He left to go home-teaching on Sunday and when he got back she was so happy to see him she just smushed her little face right into his chest and didn't move for several minutes. She is not sleeping, she is awake and just snuggling him! So sweet.
And the other pictures are from Wacky Tacky day at school! We kind of went all out with Dakota and when we asked her if other kids were dressed as crazy as she was, she said, "Not really". And then we asked her if she was embarrassed and she said "Kind of". Oops, maybe I overdid it!! Didn't mean to make my care free child embarrassed at school!
