Muffin Tops to Peacocks

The scale is slooooooooooooooooooooooooowly moving in the down direction.  However, my jeans are fitting better and my "muffin top" is shrinking.  When this happens, I am excited to get dressed; I usually only have to try on ONE outfit and am satisfied.  I do not have to try on several until I find one that hides my indiscretions.  YAY for progress!

On the family front it was an extremely busy weekend.  We had our first weekend of games, games, games, lacrosse and soccer.  The weather was bearable but not ideal, winter coats were in order.  My girlfriend, Chanon and I even broke out comforters on the sidelines, yeah comforters.   The spring sports kick-off weekend is a sign that warmer weather is on the way.  I do look forward to that but a part of me will miss snuggling up on the couch on those cold wintry afternoons with my babies and my hubby watching movies.  Wait...smack my hand, that is NOT active at all. :)

It was our 11th wedding anniversary and we celebrated by taking our family to Disney on Ice!  We had ice front row seats and it was REALLY GOOD.  I remember seeing icecapades, anyone else?  From what I can remember, Sesame Street on ice, Muppets on ice, I think they meant well, buuuuut, yeah....no comparison. 


Ice Capades...Jogging any memories?


 I am not sure who liked it more me or the kids.  I think I jumped out of my seat when Minnie came out!  Do NOT get me started on Snow White...Favorite! 



Minnie...she looks so good!





Snow White...Love her!

After the LAST game on Sunday, I had to make an emergency grocery store run.  We needed dog food and some other items.  Everyone requested my bacon wrapped, asparagus and cheese stuffed chicken.  I was unsure of this dish because we were a little naughty this weekend, I won't bore you with the details but it may have included ice cream and baked goods.  So while I was at the grocery store without kids, I REPEAT without KIDS, I decided on a healthier dinner option.  I picked up some pineapple, peppers, chicken, and skewer sticks for kabobs.  I included a selfie.  Now, I was a little embarrassed to take a selfie at the grocery store so I found an empty aisle and snapped it.  I have my coffee (heavenly) and notice the pineapple behind me (next to the Ziploc bags), proof of our healthy dinner.

Loving some alone time!

The blog would NOT be complete without an AVA story.  Last week Ava and Bella got their ears pierced.  Ava is repeatedly expressing her desire for peacock earrings.  I am totally onboard with this and am happy to oblige.  She is one happy little girl.  See picture below of my idea of peacock earrings:

I asked Ava, "what do these earrings look like?"  "Oh Mommy", she says.  "They are beautiful, long feathers that hang far down."  "Ohhhhhhhh", I said.  Immediately I foresee many safety issues with these earrings, not to mention, why did I not see this coming?  Ava's idea of peacock earrings below:

Slight misinterpretation on my part...I will deal with it another day!
