"Before"

Today I walked 2.7 miles. Woot! After seeing the photos of myself from the trip, I decided I had a nice collection of "Before" pictures and should start working on the "After"s. The kitchen has been stocked with canned beans, frozen veggies and various protein sources. Can't wait to binge on Sunday - I have two candy bars left over from the trip and plan on baking something delicious sometime this week.
So far today, activities have included a trip to the grocery store, a trip to the drivers education office to get a waiver for Bella's driving permit (just one step closer to a legally driving child), lots of dishes since our dishwasher broke while I was gone and I spent yesterday doing laundry, the kids jumping on the trampoline and playing Just Dance, and a fun session of Bed Ball, where I lie on my bed minding my business until Carter comes in with a big rubber ball from the grocery store and tosses it at me. I bat it away and he tries to catch it or bat it back, and it goes on like that for awhile until we're out of breath and laughing. Roz came in and got in on the action as well and they ended up quitting because they were hot.
I also had a chat with Bella about her fun date last night and making good choices, since now she really MIGHT marry whom she dates, now that she's "legal". We talked about her attending Institute as well. She's into the idea but so far Brennan isn't, which isn't that surprising. Oh well, maybe someday.
