It's da weekend! Yahoo

The best part of the weekend for me? Sleeping in! LOL Sounds like a teenager, I know, but I love being able to sleep until 8 or 8:30, or NINE! Yahoo. It just makes me happy to come downstairs and get coffee and sit in my robe until noon. =-)



Today we cleaned the house... I know, usually a Monday thing for me, but Monday is a holiday and Mike was willing to help. We went as fast as we could... love having two extra hands to help. The boys clean their own rooms, including dusting and vacuuming which took about the same amount of time as it took us to do the whole rest of the house... including their bathrooms! Oh, and they didn't do their pets cages yet. LOL



After a brief we went back to the gym today. It is great that we have a little gym in the neighborhood. We were walking Aspen, but it was cold the last couple of days so we went to the gym... Thursday, Friday, and Saturday too. OK, I admit it feels good to sweat. I really needed to get back to exercising. I really do feel better. Casey is wanting to thin out too, so he is going with us everytime. He has already gotten taller and not gained any weight. He realizes that sneaking food (when Alec does) doesn't really help him. I think that it is interesting the changes we have seen this year. Casey (at 11) has definitely out matured Alec (13). We knew it would happen, but we really are starting to notice. Anyway, I did 15 minutes on the elliptical machine, and 10 on the bike. That crazy elliptical machine hurts SOOOOO much, but I love the fact that my feet stay on the pedals, so it feels secure. Ever since I broke my ankle in three spots, and had it put back together, I have been a little insecure about certain activities. I don't like jogging or going downhill, nothing like that.... I can't believe it has been just over 4 years now since that awful fall (literally)...

Didn't do anything creative today, finished Susan's swap yesterday. I need to get photos and upload to my computer.. soon I hope. Danielle is coming tomorrow to stay overnight. She is making us dinner! YEA and YAHOO. I am really looking forward to it! Off to have a BIG SATURDAY night!
