This and that

Hawkeye scored himself a new coat.  It's been so cold here that I felt bad that he had to be outside in it.  The kids are always asking why Hawkeye has a coat.  They don't understand yet that pets can wear clothes too :)


Although it's been cold I was crazy and let the kids play in the snow for a mere 15 minutes.  They loved it and didn't seem bothered by the freezing cold.  Two days after this schools were closed because of the freezing temps!  It's cold people.  This week we shall have a heat wave and I'm looking forward to it!


This girl loves to sing and dance!  It's the most precious thing listening to her sing.  Her dancing is hilarious because she's so proper when she does it.  I think she may have learned from Sophia (the first)?  I'd never expect a 2 year old to be so proper.  When she turns three, I'm going to see about putting her in dance.  Dance your heart away, baby girl!


I got my jewelry in the mail from my big Kendra Scott win last month.  I LOVE the jewelry.  I love that there are simple pieces for the simplistic like me.  I'm a stud kind of gal, so I these are awesome!  There's also a lot of fun pieces that would work great for if you dress up and have an office job too.  I'd be all over them if I had a job outside the house.  
I'm wearing the Carly Stud Earrings in Magenta and Rayne Necklace in Magenta.


Kids have off from school on Fridays this semester, so we headed to Cabela's one afternoon.  It's close to home and free.  What's better than that?!  They were so intrigued by this huge catfish.


Sterling loves Wizard of Oz lately.  Her and Xander sit and watch it so nicely.  Xander's also obsessed with Annie right now, the one from 1982.  


For the past 2 weeks Sterling has been walking around saying "I be Mary."  At first I wasn't sure what she was talking about, but then it dawned on me.  I asked them if they did a play at school with Mary and baby Jesus and they said no.  Then they said it was from their "God book."  It's The Story of Christmas by Patricia A. Pingry.  I'd bought the book in the beginning of December and it's the cutest!  They still take it and read it almost every day.  


The kids have found a new favorite play place.  Under the table.


They force Hawkeye to play with them too and usually ends up with toys on top of him and he's their "horse".  I love how their imagination works.


Switching the kids back to their own rooms was the best decision ever!  They have BOTH! been sleeping in their beds throughout the night.  It may also help that Xander has been taking 1mg of melatonin at night.  It was getting ridiculous with his getting up 3-4 times a night and taking 3-4 hours to go to sleep.  Sterling will typically go to bed around 7-730 and wakes up around 6.  Xander goes to bed around 730-8 and wakes up around 5, come to crawl in our bed and goes back to sleep until around 6.

Working out has been going well.  I'm aiming for 3-4 days a week right now, but thinking of just doing it everyday and having the 23 hours off in between each workout as my time off.  On my days off, it's hard to want to go back.  So my thinking is if I just do it everyday, I won't have to worry about my mind talking me out of working out.  It's a work in progress and I'm still trying to find what works best.
Eating.  Oh, eating.  I'm horrible at it.  I eat way too much and don't know how to "just say no" to the food talking back to me.  Hubby is doing great though and trying to encourage me, but being home all day is no good for me!  People say to just throw out all the temptations, but I can't do it.  I may just have to schedule my days away from the house and do school work away.  Still trying to figure this one out too.

Well, that's it for now.  Have a wonderful day!
