...to start exercising again. bel is quite the movie watcher these days and today she requested, "exercise movie? watch a exercise movie?" so i was like, "sure whatever, go pick a movie and i'll put it in" believe it or not she actually found my turbo jam video amid our messy movie collection, brought it to me and demanded that i put it on the big tv (which has been super tempermental lately). as luck would have it, it played (first dvd to play in months - of course) then she commanded, "exercise mommy" i stood there laughing for a while and then she gave me my hand weights (the kind that have finger holes and velcro to your hand) and said "use these". i laughed some more and did a halfhearted warm up while holding the weights, but she was not satisfied "no mommy - fingers in the holes - put em on, put em on". what a slave driver she is! i can take a hint - i'll start exercising... in 2 more weeks - till then i'll continue eating fresh baked cookies every night after 9.
today's baked good - banana bread. but as many of you know, in this house, most things are enjoyed as UNbaked goods. so tonight bel and i made banana bread - mmm we love the batter. forget double dipping, triple - nope, quadruple - passed that one too, we were both up to about 30 dips each - that's right ryan's on a rainy scout camp out so tonight's dinner was a scrumptious four course meal of grapefruit, brocolli, crackers & cheese and banana bread batter. don't worry we won't be sharing this loaf with the neighbors.
today... ryan finished the last of his finals for the semester. i'm such a proud little wifey
tomorrow... spring break begins and i am
so excited that we get to play play play for 10 whole days as a happy family - it will be bliss, pure bliss.

Thanks for your update!! It was fun to read about Bel wanting you to exercise and knowing if you were doing it right...any dough is better before it is cooked... except Bread dough:( You are smart to get pictures of these fun times. Enjoy your warm bed tonight knowing Ryan & the scouts are "CAMPING OUT UNDER THE STARS" in the cold and rain. Can't wait to play with my grandbabies, see you soon XOXOX
Mmmm...now I want to make some banana batter.
Enjoy Spring Break!
I thought maybe watching her mother and aunt devour a pan of turtle bars inspired the commentary. My kids are my biggest supporters in the exercise department. At least they shame me into trying to better my performance by telling me how little I look like the people on the videos. ("Mom how come you aren't doing it like that girl? Is it because your legs are too heavy?")
What cute girls you are. Your dinner sounds scrumptious!
That cracks me up! I say give it a good month. You'll have lots of time for exercizing, but babies grow up so fast! Mmmm. Banana Bread :)
Ah, love the pics.
Your batter sure looks yummy... mmmmm.... :)
