Shaving Cream Fight

This past weekend my family indulged in a shaving cream fight. I got the idea here. It was a beautiful day and we had no plans but to be outside all day and relax. A shaving cream fight totally fits in right??? It was super fun and although daddy "didn't want to do it" initially....as you will see he soon joined in. Enjoy :)

Too cool for school....

It all started with a little dalloop on his head....

His paybacks are always waaayyy worse than what he ever receives!

Super fun. Everyone had to have a shower afterwards but we laughed a lot. Good Saturday.

Be Healthy Journey {Week 3}

Week 3

Weight Loss Amount

3.9 lbs

I thought this week I would discuss some things that I am learning about myself through this journey. So here goes...

1. I am very motivated by other people success stories, I constantly read them on myfitnesspal.

2. My hardest moment is right after I get home from work and am cooking supper. I can't seem to stop myself from mindlessly snacking. I need to figure out something for this time....maybe gum!

3. Weekends are hard!!! I do SO WELL all week and then not as well on the weekend every week it seems like.

3. I want results too quickly. I am already frustrated that I haven't had more results and it's only week 3! This is an important time for me....probably the time when I would usually give up....but not this go around....I need some encouragement....anybody out there?!?!?!?!?

4. I can be lazy. I am still not doing any additional physical activity except my 4 x's up 4 flights of stairs. I had every intention on beginning a exercise video in the am by now but I haven't.

So ladies...there you have it. My struggles at the moment. How is everyone else doing? Please let me know how you are coming along and if you have a specific topic that you would like me to post about. Can't wait to hear from all of you!!!



Fall Art Project

Saturday Jag made his first fall art project. I like to do little projects with him at this age, his attention span is increasing and he is very conscious about trying to do something correctly.

What you'll need:

construction paper

green foam

black pom poms

glue

scissors

yellow paint

paint brush

paper plate

First you cut the paper plate to look like a sunflower.

Then you paint the sunflower yellow.

Glue the black pom poms to the middle of the flower.

Cut grass and a steam from green construction paper and glue on to your background piece.

Glue the sunflower to the background piece.

Cut leaves out of the green foam and place on the flower.

The finished project....upside down :)

We love art projects!!!! Give it a try, your kids will love it!
