If only...

This morning Shea watched me do an On Demand workout. After a while he joined in and we had a ton of fun together. He asked me why we were doing it, so I pointed out the women's nice, flat bellies. "That's why, bud, mommy wants one of those!" :-) And I explained that working out and eating healthy foods is how. So we finished the workout and I bent down to take off my shoes and he goes, "Mom!!! It didn't work! You're still round!"

Well, at least he didn't say fat. *Sigh* If only one 30 minute workout did it! :-)

Family Summer Fun

We loved, loved, loved having our daddy home this summer. I think Chris and I have made our peace with not making a ton of money when we're done with all this school - for me it's because my babies will have their daddy home all summer, at every school break and after school every day. I'm looking forward to hanging out like this every summer!

We went to Sea World for two days:

We went to the beach:

We went to Disneyland:


And we discovered a cream puff store -a whole entire store just for delicious, fresh, cream puffs! An entire store. Just down the street. It's a dang good thing that we just discovered it now and not 2 years ago or I'd have even more weight to loose.
We all enjoyed them immensely!!:

Pre-school!

He has been asking the entire summer if it's time to go to Clover yet. Well bud, it's time!
And he LOVES it! When something is extra delicious, he calls in de-yumster, and he came out of his classroom on Wed and said it was de-funster! And then asked if he could go every single day. Well, yes, my sweet, you sure can. :-) I'm so glad he loves school, and hope it lasts a long time, since he's got, oh, 20 or so years ahead of him still.
It was hard for me - a real elementary school is much different than a neighborhood co-op where I'm the teacher half the time! I definitely had tears in my eyes, but Chris forbade me from shedding them in front of him and by the time we got home where I could have a good cry, it had passed. Now we're just happy for him. Yeah for pre-school. (He even loves his homework!)

Sharing a chocolate milkshake!

Delicious!!

Sexy bugs

This is the first thing Shea said to me when I had dragged myself out of bed this morning:
S - "Mom, we really need to get some bug spray today."
M - "Why buddy?"
S - "Because the bugs are going to be really sexy outside!"

I told him that I was pretty sure that's not what he meant to say and asked him where he heard that. He said that Handy Manny was going on a camp out yesterday and he forgot the bug spray so he went to Kelly's and Kelly gave him some bug spray because the bugs were going to be sexy.

I guess I'm going to have to look up that episode and figure out how bugs are sexy (since I'm sure he didn't mean, as in the above photo) and I'm definitely going to have to figure out how to get him to stop saying sexy!!!

Sick and bored...

Poor Shea is sick today and just lying on the couch watching TV. Though sick, he's still as funny a kid as usual. I was in the other room working when he yelled, "Dad, dad, you've got to come see this!!!" I went in expecting to see a toy commercial, but this is what had him so excited. He went on about how, "It uses every drop, so none gets wasted!" That's my Shea.
