Well, the craziness has continued for Chris at work. The paydays are nice but I would personally rather have the time. Last night we took some time as a family to indulge in a new found family tradition. Whenever possible we go out to Applebees on Wednesday night because it is family night and the kids eat for free. Plus appetizers are 1/2 off until 6pm, does it get any better? I enjoy being at a place "where everybody knows your name." Our kids get their faces painted and it gives Chris and I a few minutes to debrief our day with each other. I love that we are "regulars" somewhere.
On a seperate note, I gained 1.6 pounds today.....stink. I sort of expected this. If you are a woman you know that you feel fat during your "time of the month". So I was not surprised to see a gain it happened last month too. I feel really great after this week so I am excited to reach my goal in the next four weeks, I hope. As a reward I will be going to Applebees and putting some of it back on with their blondie. That dessert sounds so great!
The summer has been a good one with the girls. We have had a routine of going to the court club, running errands, doing something fun and coming home for nap time. Our fun things have included free summer movies, the Hermiston water park, pool playdates and free lunches (the girls favorite I am sure). The time has really flown by and I have loved it. I am really trying to savor the time with them. Having a routine has helped to keep some sort of flow to the summer.
On a funny note, my Allison is certainly one who marches to a different drum. As I type this she is wearing roller blades, panties, a bra and an unbuttoned shirt. Only Alli would be zooming around looking like this. Chris cringes at the thought of his girls wearing bras (they totally dont need bras) but they love it and he knows it is something fun for them. So, Leilani is currently the only girl not wearing a bra. I bet if we had one her size, she would be wearing it. funny!
