My Little Chef

L loves to help me cook.  Last night she decided she wanted to all the cooking and I could be her helper.  We made shrimp and pineapple fried rice and it was good!

Season in Lent

As we all know, Ash Wednesday was 12 days ago.  L and I started going to church at the beginning of January (part of my discipline program).  We went to two churches and in the second one, found a good home.  We've been going to Calvary Methodist.  We love it because there are lots of kids and we love Pastor Greenwood.  He's awesome and makes newcomers feel right at home. 

So fast forward to Lent.  I sat for a couple days at the beginning about what I should give up for Lent.  I researched some about why one is supposed to give something up for Lent.  The purpose is to sacrifice something as Jesus sacrificed for us and spend time pondering this.  So I decided to give up Twitter.  And you know what?  I've really enjoyed it.  I love Facebook because it's less time consuming and those people I converse with are friends.  But Twitter is purely social media for me.  And time consuming.  Since I've given up Twitter, I feel like I have more time that I devote to my family.  I use the time to meditate and enjoy the silence.  The funny part was, I went to Twitter last week to see what was going on with the school board meeting on school boundary changes and after sifting through it all, I realized I could easily wait until the next morning and got up to play with L and Jeff.  I'm not sure I'll go back to Twitter after Easter. 

This One is for You, Dad

Rosco (aka Oreo) decided he was bored while sitting in the bathroom this morning, so he chose to rip a hole in the door.  Hopefully, he won't make a hole through the entire door.  Doh!!!

It's Bingo Night!!

We joined Mary and her girls for Bingo Night at North High.  We had a great time.  We came prepared with our bingo daubers.

Lauryn was excited to win a grab bag after getting bingo!!

It's Ember!

This little baby is 10 months old now.  We were delivering girl scout cookies to her mom and dad.  L was very excited to see her.  Ember is so cute!

Move More, Eat Less: Month 4

+4.

It's the same as last month, so at least I'm not gaining.  I only exercised 9 times in February...not good.  I reviewed by goals and didn't meet that one, but I have (almost) successfully given up on eating L's food. That was really hard, because I subconsciously do this.  The other was keeping track of what I eat....that lasted a week.

Okay, so I have two goals this month:
1. Exercise 15 times (I have 8 weeks til my 1/2 marathon in OKC, so I'd better get cracking)
2. Eat only when I'm hungry and eat slowly so I don't over eat.
