When I Grow Up

Recently while driving to preschool, Ty said " Mom, I don't want to be a police officer anymore." Then he said "I want you to write this down so you don't forget it...I want to be a road digger guy. You know those guys mom? The ones who are down in the roads and you can see their heads sticking up? They did really big holes and I want to do that." He then told me again to write it down so I don't forget. I'm pretty sure he'll probably be able to get that job when he grows up. Scott hopes he eventually aspires to something higher.

So then at preschool graduation all the kids took turns going to the mic and saying what they wanted to be when they grew up. Of course some wanted to be superheros, ninja turtles and even transformers. Others wanted to be firemen or policemen, there were even some aspiring farmers. Ty went up and said "When I grow up I want to be a worker." Way to go kid!

Punching Party

Ty kept telling Kaycie this morning "Kaycie, let's have a punch party! Take your clothes off!" Hmm. Kaycie responds excitedly "Okay!" and starts giggling. I was a little concerned. Then they start punching each other to death. I asked what they were doing and they said they were having a punching party. I guess I still looked concerned because Ty said "You know daddy's show where all the guys are in their underwear and they're punching each other and it's a party? That's what we're doing." Uh huh. Thanks UFC.

No More Diapers in This House!

Kaycie is finally potty trained! These are her victory photos. Her motivation this last week was a pink guitar from Toys 'R Us. I think I deserve a present too though.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots

So Scott and I decided to try this weight loss program called fat loss 4 idiots. You're supposed to lose 9 lbs. in 11 days and then take a 3 day break and eat anything you want. If you want to lose more after that, you just start the 11 day meal plan again with a different menu. The way they plan your meals is by scheduling what you eat to trick your metabolism into burning fat fast. So for instance today our meal plan is Meal #1: Scrambled eggs & cottage cheese, Meal#2: Baked Beans and apples, Meal #3 Roast beef slices & sausage, Meal #4 Chicken & milk. You can eat them in any order you want. You can only drink diet sodas, water, and a couple other drink options. There are also days where it's mainly fruit and other days where it's mainly veges. We are on Day #6 and I've lost 5 lbs so far & Scott has lost 7lbs!! We're looking forward to our 3 cheat days though :)

Say Cheese!

When you say cheese to this boy, this is what you get. I guess I should stop with the cheese and pick a new word.

We went to the zoo a couple weeks ago for a field trip with Ty's school. His cousins were in town so they came with us. It was a fun day, although there are too many birds in chain link cages and too much dirt for my liking. It's also overpriced and stuck in the dark ages not using debit cards! The kids had fun though and that's all that counts. Maybe we'll go again in 2 or 3 more years.
