THE EVERYDAY GOINGS ON IN THE LIFE OF A WIFE, MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, DAUGHTER, SISTER, AUNT & FRIEND

Sophia had a field trip to Tackapausha today and Nico had his library program. I was grateful that the two locations are one block away from each other since his program ended at 11:30 and I had to pick up Sophia at 11:30. Since we had to leave the library a few minutes early, they gave us the craft to make at home. We made it to Tackapausha in plenty of time to see Sophia and her class returning from their walking tour through the woods.

That's my photo of the day.
Larry & I went to Palmer's tonight for a light dinner.

My walking payed off! Successful week in Weight Watchers... I lost another 2.6 lbs.


Started my day with a workout at the gym... Katie was going in late to school because she had a 9 AM appointment at the dentist, so I had an extra hour in the morning.


Brought the kids to the park for another playdate with Dylan, a friend of Sophia's from nursery school. Great time was had by all on this very sunny & windy day.


Speaking of wind... Katie and Chris had their next door neighbor's tree come down during the night and land on their garage. They'll have to wait til it's removed to see if there was any damage. It was huge!

Nico came with me when it was time to pick Sophia up...he had already woken from his nap. They played on the playground for awhile. It's always tough getting them to leave there.

We had lunch with Pop and then headed back to their house and had them play outside for awhile.

Took a half hour walk after dinner. Tomorrow is weigh in.

Had a playdate with one of Sophia's friends from nursery school.

We were originally going to meet at the park but since it was a rainy day, we met at a local library to play. They did puzzles, played with many different toys, worked on the computer and had a great time. Nico also had a ball with all the trucks and toys available.

Jenn went out tonight so we decided to go to our diner and have a bite to eat rather than cook for the two of us.

Took a 35 minute walk after dinner through the neighborhood, afterall I do want to do good at Weight Watchers this Thursday. I feel like I'm in a good groove!

Another very rainy day today... After lunch, the kids watched a few DVDs in the Moose Lodge for a change of pace. We had popcorn and ice cream, so they were very happy!

Had one of my favorite meals tonight- chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese. I added a few vegetables and brown rice and it was a great meal.

Rainy, rainy day today. Larry arrived home this morning as Jenn was cooking breakfast. It was good to have him home again (although the House was so quiet and peaceful without him).haha
He was so tired that he even fell asleep during a visit from our grandchildren. He just couldn't keep his eyes open after the long drive home from Pa.
Jenn & I did shopping at BJ's and picked up a roast to make for dinner.
I got out for a 25 minute walk in the neighborhood after dinner tonight. I had my weight watchers pedometer on and after my walk wanted to check my distance and # of steps only to find that it was blinking on and off and had to be reset yet again. That's been happening too many times for me. This week I'll return it at my next WW meeting and get an exchange.

Started the day with a workout at tItaliche gym with Jenn. Did some house cleaning and laundry and caught up with a few things. Took a run to Home Depot because I needed some outdoor white paint and pressure treated 2 by 4's for my arbor. I sanded and painted the pole for my bird feeder. That was a start anyway.
Went to dinner with my mother-in-law tonight at a place called Absolutely Mario's. We have a tradition of going out to dinner together one night every time Larry is away at a car show.
