The children.

Look at the naughtiness written all over that little boy's face. He gets sat in time out a lot. He just laughs about it.  I had Miss Cate (whom I will now affectionately refer to as Kit-Kat b/c that's what I call her) lying on the floor in her room last night b/c it's not safe to leave her on a bed b/c she rolls and squirms. I walked in from just running to another room and found will flat on top of her.  He was trying to hug her (I hope/think) but he could have hugged the life out of her. He's a large fella.  I ripped him off of her and he immediately sat his rump on her head. She cried so hard. 

I seriously don't know how to convey to him that he is hurting people. I was so upset last night after he sat on her head that I put him (maybe not so gently) in his crib and if his father hadn't come home to rescue him he might have stayed there all night.  

Her eyebrows are so intense.

 But she's so mild and go with the flow compared to the other two.

 She hates this hat. It always slides down in her eyes but I think it's so cute.

She rolls over almost immediately when I lay her down on the ground.  When she pushes herself up she inverts her wrists and loos like a seal. I don't know why she does it or if it's concerning. I will ask the doctor when we go next month for Big Willie's appointment. He has a 21 month appointment for some reason.

Miss M.  She's loving wearing dresses these days even if it means wearing a summer dress in the dead of winter.

She's going to ballet class on Thursday evenings. She loves it.  She just wants to dance on the stage. She wants to know where this said stage is every single day.  We often build a stage at the house so she can dance or sing or do whatever she does.

The boys came over last week and stayed all day. It's always so fun to have them come over. The kids all get along so well and even better when Big Willie sleeps for most of the afternoon.

I am participating in something called the Whole Life Challenge. The local running group comprised of women are all doing it so why not join the masses.  There are a number of things you have to complete each day to get points but the biggest/most difficult one is not drinking soda.  One point is lost for each non-compliant food/drink consumed.  There are only a total of 5 foods points each day.  This is a photo representing my average weekly soda consumption during a normal week compared to week 1 on the WLC.  I assumed giving up soda would be impossible.  Its not so bad.  It's only on long days or long nights when I want one most.  I find when I drink one it's not as satisfying as I dreamed.  It still doesn't stop me from wanting one.

I saw this sign on a Lululemon building in the city last weekend when I was wondering around.  I think it's pretty true to life.  It says "All you have is now" # Givepresence.  I try.  It's hard. I should try harder.
