I workout...

I have been in a funk lately... I just have not felt like doing much. I took a nap on my lunch break today and did not work out. I know I should have but I was tired. Well at about 4:30 my old workout partner text me and asked me if I had worked out today and when I told her that I took a nap she told me to get my butt in gear and go workout when I got off. So I got off work at 7 and went to the gym to workout! Remind you this is the first time in a week I have stepped foot in the gym. I was not excited when I started I was pretty slow but by the time I was done I felt amazing!!
 
This is what I look like when I got home. (I was a hott mess but felt great) Also can you see the babies fingerprints all over...maybe I should wash that off.
 
I then called my nephew Caden and asked him how his first day of preschool went. He said he had fun with his friends but he didn't like the school part and they made him lay down for 40 thousand hours according to him :) I asked if he will go back on Wednesday and he said he could fit it in his schedule.

Babysitting for the night

Last night I decided that I would watch my one year old niece and 1 & 4 year old nephews to give mys sister and brother-in-law a break for the evening.

What was I thinking 3 kids under the age of 5 all by myself all night.....We did have fun tho. We had taco's for supper and Ice Cream for snack. All three of them were passed out before 10:30 so that was great and even better news they all slept thought the night!!
 
 


They all woke up around 8:30 and I would say that is sleeping in. (I usually get up for work at 5:30) We played for a bit and took a walk. Once we got back from our walk the babies laid down for a nap and Caden and I got to work on making a gift for his teacher for the first day of preschool.

Here he is working on the clipboard.
 
He just loves to craft with aunt Rachael!
 
He wanted to take a picture of me helping him.
 
This is what the finished product looked like!

After the babies woke up and we got done with our craft we went to the park to have a Picnic!!
 
 
All and all we had a great day and I was happy to get to spend the day with them!!

Date night and Great savings!

Today I went and got my hair "did" as my sister would say. I was looking for something fresh and new. I have lost almost 10 lbs (go me) and I wanted to do something nice for me. I set off to pinterest to find a new do. I found this cute hair style.
I think it turned out pretty good!! It looks a little more red in this picture but it is because of the way the sun is hitting it.

Well after I got my hair done I felt super cute and wanted to go on a date with my hubby. I called him and told him we should go for Mexican for dinner. He agreed and we went for a super yummy dinner.
This is my burrito Mexico (no sauce and no onion) Just the way I like it.

After dinner we went to none other than....you guessed it Walmart. No date night would be complete without a trip to Walmart to get a few groceries. I was not very prepared to go shopping because I didn't even bring my coupon book. We only went to get lunch meat, eggs, butter, and peanut butter. Brian wanted shaved ham and I wanted shaved turkey so we were just going to get a little of each at the deli counter. We were quite surprised when we were waiting in line to get our meat and the lady in front of us was getting turkey and it was a dollar a pound!!! Yes turkey that is usually $6.24/lb. was now $1/lb. We looked at each other and were like sweet!!! We got 5lbs of turkey and the guy that was shaving the turkey told us the other ham that was on sale for the same price also! Needless to say we loaded up on turkey and ham.
This is all the meat we brought home. We got out our trusty old food saver system and went to work on wrapping the meat. After it was all said and done we spent $41.36 at Walmart and had a savings of $71.46!!!!!!!! I was so happy.

When we got done wrapping all that meat we sat done and ate a slice of Carmel Apple pie that I just happened to pick up while Brian was waiting for the guy to cut our meat. It hit the spot and was a good ending to a good "Date Night"
