I would like all of us to take a moment and appreciate that I've completed an entire month of posts thus far. Here's to continued success in 2016!
Monday, February 1
Today I set out to do a Day in the Life post, which, as you can see, was a smashing success. Or, I did a great job taking pictures and a terrible job actually writing about them. Whichever. Anyway, here's a handy dandy highlight photo grid:
 |
| Clockwise: Ellie on the way to Gramma's; the long walk into work; a very exciting breakfast of oatmeal, almonds, and pumpkin seeds; a picture from Elaina's birthday I found in my purse (such a sweet surprise); Puppers waiting for her chow; our delicious dinner; sitting with my girlies at the end of their nights; girlies dancing to Max and Ruby; Josh filing our taxes (oh, the excitement of adulthood); artists at work; watching the bus arrive; my chocolate afternoon treat; center, Josh and I after killing it at the gym (yes, Erika, that would be the sheltie shirt I'm wearing....) |

The girls have been doing a great job of cleaning their room lately, so Josh and I decided to reward them with a trip to Dollar General (yes, they do think it's a reward--so either they're incredibly easy to please, or we're incredibly lucky...probably both). Ellie chose a coloring book, and Elaina chose finger lights. Tonight, they ran upstairs and put on a play for us in the dark. It was a hoot.

Today was Spirit Day at Elaina's school, so she was supposed to wear green. Since we don't have any school-specific gear yet, we improvised. Josh sent me this picture before she got on the bus. Adorable.

Tonight we treated the girls to a Netflix cartoon before bed. For some reason, watching it at the computer desk instead of on chairs was the best thing ever.

Today, my boss was kind enough to provide pizza for lunch as a thank you for all the hard work our team's been doing lately. And since I'm still trying to get in shape for Mexico, I limited myself to one slice. An hour and a half later I preparing to gnaw on my desk noticed my stomach was growling, so I looked up the calorie count of that single piece of pizza. 148 measly calories. If I'd known there were that few, I would have had a second! But, it was all for good, because I took it as motivation to work extra hard in the gym after work, and today was my PR for steps!

Today we drove down to visit Mom and Dad for the day. Mom and I went shopping for a bit and found some great deals on books and clothes, and we spent the rest of the day just relaxing and spending time together. I even managed to twist Dad's arm into popping some corn for me--ahh, the taste of the Sunday afternoons of my childhood. We had a really, really good time, evidenced by the fact that Elaina cried for five minutes before we left and 10 minutes after we hit the road. Definitely looking forward to going back soon!

We went to Josh's folks for Super Bowl dinner (enchiladas, rice, guacamole) and treats (fruit pudding and thin mint truffles that I made), and came home after the first quarter to get the girls settled down for the night. Obviously, Yuna was very, very interested in the game's outcome, too.
