First Day of Weight Watchers

Okay......

Of all days for Heather to have a Fundraiser at Building Blocks was yesterday......

I met her at the Daycare at 6 am to unload Doughnuts.....

That's right.......D-O-U-G-H-N-U-T-S

one of my biggest weaknesses

OMG!!!!!!

As we are unloading 425 boxes....I'm thinking.......

ok....maybe I didn't exactly choose the right day to begin Weight Watchers

with EACH donut being 5 points

I helped her separate the orders (they were pre-ordered)

and helped parents carry them out to their vehicles.....

It was TOUGH......

But......

Guess What?

I didn't eat any....that's right

you heard me.....

not even one bite!!!!!

Yay-Me!!!

I think I had a great day resisting temptations.......

I'm looking forward to the weigh in Thursday night.......

I just hope I can stay focused!

On another note......

Are you all as excited as I am about the Bloggers Blast

in Franklin March 13th?

I can't wait to meet everybody.......

I know it is going to be sooooo much fun

If you don't yet know about it head over to Judi's Blog

and read about it.......

Then sign up to come!!!!!

Applebees will never be the same!

Happy Saturday!

Weight Watchers

I Did It!!!

I joined weight watchers last night. I finally got my husband to agree NOT to be so mad if I joined AGAIN......and I stress again.......I'm the queen of joining and failing weight watchers.....he thinks I won't stick to it so it is a waste of time & money........but I think it is time I do something about my weight........I just can't understand HOW I got like this?

I don't want to be the 'fattest Third Grade Mom' anymore....So........Keep your fingers crossed that I will do it this time!

Happy Friday!

Pinewood Derby

This is the car Corey had in the Pinewood Derby Saturday.

His car didn't do well this year and it was a hard lesson in sportsmanship for him.

After winning First in his Den and Second in the overall Pack last year I think he was expecting to win this year so even though it was hard for him to lose I think he learned a very valuable lesson.

There's always next year!

Hoops for Heart

Yesterday was Hoops for Hearts at Corey's school

so........I volunteered for the day........which really makes me

wonder why I don't help out every year being that

his daddy has had two heart attacks

(resulting in 5 by-passes when I was pregnant with Corey)

We started the day eating breakfast at the Huddle House in Franklin

Decisions......Decisions......What looks yummy?



Then it was on to school.....
Each class had a designated time to go to the gym
They had Basketballs, Jump Ropes, Hula Hoops
& Scooters to enjoy


First Corey shot some hoops

What is THIS look suppose to mean?

Then it was on to the hula hoops......

I think we made some over $4000.00 yesterday..........

Southampton Academy has made over $70,000 since

1998 for the American Heart Association

I hope you all have a great Friday the 13th!!

Corey is going to a sleepover tomorrow night so

Colin & I are having a movie night....

I think we're watching Nights in Rodanthe

I can't wait!!!!!!

School Art Fair

Corey's school had an Art Fair tonight........the Art Teacher has been working with the kids since January on projects for this Art sale. When I first told Corey there was going to be an art fair and I was going to be able to buy a framed piece of art he had done he told me 'that was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard of.....why would he pay money for something he had already done?"

He is too funny!

All the framed prints were set up in the cafeteria like an art show.......Each class worked on a project......

This is Corey's Turtle...

He told me this afternoon that not many people would like his but he knew I would because I LOVE everything he makes......And I Do!

This is my favorite turtle EVER.....and I can't wait until I figure out the perfect place to hang it in my home.

Birthday Ideas

I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged anything......things have just been so busy......but I have been reading everybodys and trying to keep up.......Corey & I had Cub Scouts yesterday......we had our Den meeting and it was also the end of 'Scouting for Food'......the food drive we do every year for the local food pantries.........our pack collected alot of food......and it always makes me feel so good when the boys are doing something meaningful for somebody else.......then it was such a pretty day we followed Carol to her house for the boys to play a while.......

Today was Scout Sunday so we went to church at Zion Methodist Church (which is our Pack's sponsoring church).........it was really nice and everyone made us feel so welcome........

Then it was off to my parent's for Sunday lunch....that's right.....we go EVERY SUNDAY........how nice is that?.....well.......after lunch was done Corey had in his mind he was getting Aunt Sue to go outside with him to play Bad mitten.........but because of the wind it was switched to Tennis Rackets and tennis balls......we had alot of fun.....and yes I did take pictures (but I don't think Sue would appreciate me posting them).....He then climbed too high up in a tree.....and I didn't think he was going to be able to climb back down but after awhile he managed.........we came home.........he played in the yard and I got on the Internet & ordered some cub scout stuff we need..........

I'm trying to start making plans & figuring out what I'm going to do for Corey's Birthday (March 10th)........he wants to have a party at the Skating Rink in Franklin.....we've not done a Birthday party in a couple of years.......... Last year we took him & a friend and my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, niece & nephew to Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg......and the year before we went to the Mountains for 4 days to dig for jewels so he wants to have a 'friends' party this year.......Does anyone have any ideas how to make a skating party special or how to decorate?......a friend is working on a boy wearing skates for the invitations..........but other than that I'm clueless.......any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Have a Great Monday!
