Our Week in Review

       Well all of my hard work is paying off! All of the exercising that I have been doing is finally starting to show.....I lost 1LB! Big whoop! I couldn’t believe that is all I have to show for it! I am choosing to look at this as an inspiration to eat better along with my exercising. I have been very consistent with my workout plan for the past two weeks, but my eating habits? Well they could use some improving to say the least! I usually do pretty good during the day, but it’s the nighttime snacking that gets me…well really it’s probably like a like a 4th meal to normal people. The other night I was relaxing in the recliner and really wanting to eat something, but instead I decided to get up and do 2 miles of my Leslie Sansone DVD. It about killed me because I was still VERY sore from my leg workout from the day before. I felt a lot better about myself afterward than if I had fixed that box of macaroni that was calling my name. I felt like I had really conquered something lol! I’m also trying to keep up with the Fab Ab February. I have missed a few days so Fab Ab February will actually spill into March, but as long as I’m trying. That’s what counts, right?
Some exciting news is that Kynslee has started waving “hi’ and “bye” and will give high fives. She is also working on chewing her crib until it falls apart. I had plans to make a cover for the rails of her crib, but as you can see I am a little late.





Yesterday I made some homemade teething biscuits and baby puffs. I of course got the recipes from Pinterest. I pinned them a while back, and yesterday while I was looking through my “Kynslee” board I saw them and knew I had the ingredients to make them and since Kynslee was down for her afternoon nap I went ahead and made them. The teething biscuits (which is a horrible name in my opinion, it makes me think of dog biscuits) turned out really well and were a lot of fun to make.

        The puffs didn’t turn out as well. They taste good (yes I have to taste everything she eats) but they are very crunchy. I think I might have cooked them too long because I put them in the oven and noticed that Kynslee needed a diaper change and then forgot about them. So they cooked for about 5 minutes longer than they were supposed to. I think I may try them again and try to not get distracted this time.

Why yes that is a Play Doh Maker! It actually worked really well :) 

And that's a pic of them after they burned :(

          The church here in Ames is hosting a marriage seminar this weekend at the Civic Center. It cracks me up that it’s called the “Civic Center!” It’s a very nice facility for the community but it is not what you picture when you think of a Civic Center. This morning me and a few of the ladies of the congregation worked on decorating for the seminar. I made the centerpieces, pens for registration, and cut out some hearts with my Cricut to use to sprinkle on the tables. Everything else the other ladies took care of. I think that everything turned out really well. 

        
 The first session was held tonight and it was very interesting. There is no one to watch Kynslee so it makes it hard trying to keep her quiet and pay attention but what I am able to listen to is very good. I am looking forward to hearing the rest of the seminar.
