Fun with GOOP!!

Goop is a mixture of 1 cup water mixed with 2 cups cornstarch. We added a little Wilton Purple food coloring, dont adjust your monitor it was OBVIOUSLY marked wrong!! Molly had tons of fun playing with it. This mixture is quite popular in science things. Nick said they mixed some up in a big area and they all got to run on it without falling through!! You can punch into it and not hit the bottom of the container!! Molly wanted to play with it so long but I had used all the cornstarch she told me when I had gotten home from my Zumba class I should have gone to the store to get some lol!! I told her that i'd get some next time I go grocery shopping!!

Onto a new week!

We really do not have a lot planned this week. I am hoping the weather is nice so the kids and I can spend some time in the pool! Yesterday while the boys were at youth group at church I took Molly in the pool and she finally gathered enough courage to try swimming on her own with no floaties or vest!! She did good!!! She can make it all the way across the width of our pool and halfway across the lenth!The only problem she has is that she sees the ending spot in view and brings her legs down to soon so shes kinda then just treading water!!

I'm such a slacker

This week has just been one of those BLAHHHHHHHHHHH weeks. Monday wa supposed to be fun with my parents watching the kids and paul and I were going to go to a BBQ with some scout people he knows. Well all was well and good, I even made the cole slaw and brownies we were going to take and i developed a UTI(yuck and TMI i know sorry!) So I cancelled my parents because there was no way I was going to go and pray we were close enough to a bathroom that I could keep running to lol! Well hubby still went and thankfully Nick still made dinner for him and Joe and Molly like was originally planned! He made a really good Ham and Cheese pie that they all declared better then when I make it! No problem! He can make that meal from now on! By Thursday I was no better at all and went to the doctor for antibiotics, paul and i both heard the doctor say they were like double strength and I can tell because I started feeling better that night and I am soooooooooooooooo tired!! Molly and I did manage a full walk around the block yesterday though so that was good! Housecleaning and laundry is sliding just a bit but I am feeling better every day.
Oh one good thing about being sick was I lost 2 pounds!!! Woohooo! To bad I didnt wiegh myself before going to the doctors hehehe then I could have told them the lower wieght!! Oh and another thing! How nice was this?? The doctotrs office called me the next day to see how I was feeling! I thought that was very nice! Though a bit disconcerting! Paul and I both then decided maybe after testing my pee again they saw I had deadly amounts of yucky stuff and that i shouldn't have still been alive or alert!!! hahaha

Chippendale's and beer please!

These are a few things Molly has requested latley!! I am definitly going to have to watch this little girl carefully!!
The Chippendale story acutally came about froma radio commercial! Apparently the Chippendales are going to be performing at a casino down in Detroit and since we have recently come back from Disney molly heard it as a "Chip and Dale" show! So she thought hey I was chicken to meet them in Disney I think i would really enjoy seeing a show with them in it! lets go!! I said "really you want to go see Chip and Dale?" She said YES! unless they are just signing autographs. Whew!!! a way out of explaining why I cant take her! I said Oh honey thats all those types of shows are!! You get them to sign your autograph book!
Now onto the beer story!!! Yesterday was Mollys birthday and she requested going to Texas Roadhouse for ribs! She ate them all up too yay Molly!!She heard daddy and the brother order root beer but she requested Sprite! So we got home...visited with our neighbors and they sang her Happy Birthday, I told her we needed to go in real quick but we would be back out. As i'm entering the house she pokes her head out and says "mom can i have a beer?"!!!!!!! Paul was in his den laughing his head off and i just prayed noone was walking their dog by the sidewalk at that time!!! Of course she was just asking for root beer but it still sounded so funny!! This from the girl who decided to go swimming topless in our pool and yell YeeHaw nice and clear at the Texas Roadhouse when they perched her on the saddle for her birthday!
Oh and she reffered to herself as "Party girl" all day yesterday!! I will need all my friends and family helping keep this girl under control!!

4th of July fun!

Well yesterday we went out to Selfridge with some friends of ours and Paul and the kids did some fishing! Molly topped off the winner list with a total of 3 fish caught, Paul followed with 2 fish and the boys ended it up with one fish each! We took a photo and threw them back in! We cooked out on a tiny little grill and then watched the fireworks! It was a very nice night!! Beautiful weather! I was a bit worried about the clouds but there was no real need for that we could see the fireworks just great!

Scrabble

Nick has a friend staying the night tonight and they dragged out the Scrabble game(BOOORRRRIIIINNNGGGGG!!!) but anyways at least they are learning things! Nick will be 15 in OCtober and friend is 16 maybe closer to 17 and of course since they are boys they can't spell and don't know much(sorry dad I'm just reffering to teenage boys! i promise!)they decided they would use the dictionaries help and look up words and as they use them they are defining them for each other! Guess the game will help them a little! But man it will take forever to finish.

An update of sorts

Well, As I said before Weight Watchers has taken a bit of a back seat currently. Hopefully when School starts for the kids I will start it up again. Also our Zumba class has ended and I dont think we will make it in time to register for the next session that starts next week. But the good news on Zumba front is she was talking about in fall offering two classes and my friend and I are really excited to do both days! yay for us!
On the weight news even though I have stopped WW I see by my scale that I have finally hit 15 pounds lost since the begininng of Jan! Now that is not a huge number i realize but what is huge is that while losing weight I have not gained any pounds!!! It has been a steady loss...yes while losing a pound or two I may have gained some back but never did I go any higher then my starting weight! AND I managed to still hold steady while on vacation!! Can I get a WOOT WOOT???!!! hahaha yay me!! I think i'll make myself a 15 pounds gone ribbon since I wont get one from WW!!
So thats my little weight update.
