Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
The flooring project in our downstairs is nearing completion as Andy is putting the transition strips down! I’m so excited because the flooring looks fantastic and Andy has done a great job! Love, love, love it! I picked up new flooring samples for the master bathroom while on a Home Depot run today… Poor Andy… He doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into now! Maybe next time, he’ll do crappy work so he doesn’t have to do these types of things again!
Stacking cups – what an easy, amusing activity on a Friday night.
I’ve been buying the Millville brand of Honey Nut Cheerios from Aldi for over a year now. They are cheaper and the kids like them. About two weeks ago, I was at Hy-Vee and remembered that we were running out of Honey Nut Cheerios, so I picked up their store brand that the kids used to eat all the time. When I gave Laura a bowl of them the next day, she took one bite and said, “I don’t like these Mommy. They aren’t the right kind.” She promptly refused to eat them. A couple of days later, I tried giving them to her again. I received the same basic response. Last week, Laura took a different tactic and mentioned to Daddy that she didn’t like them and could he please have Mommy buy the “right” kind from Aldi. I gave up. I drove to Aldi and bought a box of the stupid things. I came home and threw away the Hy-Vee brand. Laura is now happy and will eat her Honey Nut Cheerios. Lesson for me…never substitute cereal AGAIN!
…when it’s August and 95 degrees outside? “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” of course! Or rather, you do if you are Laura…
Laura came home from school with a story about her summer. Enjoy!

I went camping and went to Big Surf Waterpark.
I ate corn dogs.
I slept in a camper.
I played with new friends at the campground.
I glance back while driving John to daycare this morning and see this…
Andy and I began P90X2 today. The only way we will be able to get it done is to do it together. On those nights that I don’t want to work out, Andy will push me and vice versa. We know we won’t be able to do all the exercises as we are both woefully out of shape, but we’ll just do the best we can. We also won’t get it done in 90 days. We are using the five-day schedule and not the six. It will be more like 120. After today’s workout, I can say that this will not be easy. I *hope* we will be successful because the results can be amazing! I think at this point, I’ll just settle for being able to finish *half* of the reps from each of the exercises.
