The Weekend

If I could describe the weekend in one word, it would be SUNSHINE.  I had some serious Sunday blues last night because it felt like summer.  And in the summer I do not have to go to work on Monday.  AND it is only February.  I am going to need a snowstorm so I can feel okay about going to work.  Anyway... I was off Friday, so Charlie and I took a little walk to the grocery store to get some necessities and then went to the park!! 

We had my parents over for dinner Friday night to celebrate their birthdays.  When Paul asked how old they were turning I said 63.  That was pretty confusing for him because he has somehow convinced himself that my dad is 100.  Sorry dad.  

Saturday morning was more outside time- swinging, baseball, snacks and fun! 

Saturday evening ended with a movie night.  They were sitting so close- Charlie was trying to watch the movie and Paul was trying to tell him all about it.  

The boys and I woke up early Sunday morning and walked to get donuts.  We went to a different park and then drew some pictures outside.  

It is just so much easier to have kids when it is nice outside.  There are no jackets, hats, mittens to deal with.  They can run around and take long naps.  You can walk everywhere.  I love it.  

Sunday night ended with a full lap story time! 

Where's Paul????

How was your weekend?

February Goals

Welcome to February.  I did pretty well with my January goals and am excited to share this month's aspirations! 

From January: 

1. Attend the yoga arm balance workshop my friend Jill is leading.  Support a friend, get upside down and learn something.  I really hope I can work this in my schedule.- Did it!  Loved it!  Was so sore but held handstand for longer than .3 seconds.  

2. Paint the bathroom.  I did not do this last month.  I forgot when I am home with my kids I get nothing done.  Anyway, it is on my to do list to buy the paint on Friday so that is a step in the right direction!- Again didn't happen.  Why can't I paint?  Why Why Why?

3. Pick a color to paint the dining room.  Ryan told me over break that he would paint the dining room (and he wasn't even drunk!) but I had to be in charge of the color.  I'll be thinking about that this month! Well we haven't officially picked a color, but we have discussed some options.  A really dark gray is on the top of our list.  

4. Take a class from a yoga teacher I have never taken before.  This is a good one for me because although it is a huge bonus my favorite yoga studio is only 5 minutes away, it is a good to branch out a bit!- Yes!  Actually this was a great goal and I'm so happy I found time for this one! 

5. Read 6 books.  This goal is always my favorite every month because it keeps me on track!  It will be hard because it is time to go back to work and I know how exhausting it is, but game on!!- Yes!  I will share what 6 books I read tomorrow! 

Goals for February: 

1. Read 5 books.  Short month so I can't go crazy, but this is my favorite thing to do! 
2. Host Valentines Get Together.  I am thinking of having a little family party with fun decorations and heart shaped pizzas?
3. Paint bathroom- I mean for the love of God.  
4. Eat in the dining room- We finally got our new light in the dining room, so I need to celebrate by eating in there! 
5. Try a new class at the gym- Ryan and I joined Lifetime and we really like it so far but I haven't tried any of their fitness classes besides yoga.  Want to try something new! 
6. Don't eat out for the entire month.  This one is going to be so hard and we picked a short month for a reason.  But on the weekends we spend so much $$ on dumb food like Chipotle and Panera.  So for 28 days we are going to eat at home.  

What are your February Goals?
