Potty, Tears and Exercise!

Our weekend was wonderful!  We had a great time watching movies and playing around the house.  By the way,  I highly recommend the movie "Life as We Know It" if you haven't seen it yet.  It was hysterical!

Triston is potty training which always makes for interesting times.  Several times he did his "doody" in his underwear.  He knew he was doing it too.  He would come and tell me he did it and then ask me if he messed up the cartoon character that happened to be on his underwear that day.  If he's smart enough to remember what cartoon character is plastered on the rear of his britches, he's smart enough to know when he's got to go.  We'll get this nailed down soon though.......hopefully.  Other than the potty issues and the typical beating the tar out of his sister, he was great this weekend.  I didn't even feel like I needed a break!

I witnessed Allyson's tender heart this weekend.  She has such a big heart.  Last night we were watching "Army Wives" on Lifetime.  Jeremy, one of the soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, was killed in action, and they showed how he was killed and his funeral.  At the very end of the funeral scene, Allyson dug her head in my shoulder and busted out crying with these huge crocodile tears.  She said, "I don't want Jeremy to die.  That is so sad."  So I explained to her that he really didn't die that they were actors and they were just pretending, but she still kept crying.  I asked her why she was still crying and she said, "I don't know.  I just have tears."  It was too sweet!  She is just like her daddy when it comes to having a big heart.  (Not to say I don't have one.  I just needed to state that for the record.  He just has a tender one about things like that.  :))

On a side note, my weight loss is going great!  I'm down 3 lbs and I'm starting to be able to tell I'm loosing inches by the way my clothes are fitting.  I've been staying committed to my diet, exercising and making sure to fit my protein shakes in everyday.  I even ate zucchini today!  :)  Allyson exercised with me tonight for about 30 minutes while Triston was throwing those little micro machine toys at me because I wouldn't pay attention to him.  Of course his wise decision to throw something at me ended not so well for him.  He was fine after while when he tried to take his temperature by sticking one of those long digital thermometers for under the arm in his ear......then in mine.  :)

Until Next Time, I'll leave you with this thought. "When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile."  Here's two of my reasons.
