Found the Hidden Treasure...

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

So last Monday Marci and I decided no more sugar until Easter (read here for more info).  I just wanted to update you on how that is going.

  • Almost every day last week I ate a package of delicious Jelly Belly fruit snacks.
  • On Thursday at school a group gave out Krispy Kreme doughnuts as part of their presentation.  Naturally, I ate one.
  • On Saturday evening I had two wonderful root beer floats.  Thank you Grandpa.
  • On Sunday Marci gave me 3 pieces of candy; a Rolo, Snickers, and Reese's Easter egg.  Finally.
  • I was good on Monday, although our neighbors offered to bring over some oreos to eat during our weekly showing of 24, and I was hoping they would.  I'm glad they didn't though.  Kinda.
  • Today I found the hidden treasure.  v` 123nnnnnnnnnnnm,mn po6lik (that was Ellie)
I know you're dying to know if I ate from the treasure chest of candy.  I didn't.  If I had found it last week I would have since I obviously wasn't committed.  But this week I am committed. So no candy for me this week.  Until Easter of course.  By the way, if you're wondering if I was looking for the candy or just happened to find it, I was looking for it. Not to eat, but I wanted to see if I could find it.  And I did.  The new questions is... "where will Marci hide the treasure next?"

Leaf Eater

Sunday, March 8, 2009

My new favorite thing is playing outside with Ellie.  It's so funny to put her down on the grass bare foot and watch her figure out what that prickly sensation is.  Of course she always figures out that it is a good thing and proceeds to romp around the yard eating every leaf in her path. She especially likes the cart in the yard that holds the garden hose.  Every time she sees it she starts racing over to climb on it.  I never let her of course because I don't want to have to change her clothes after they get all dirty from it.

Being outside feels so good when it's warm and sunny.  It makes the day go by so much faster, everyone is way happier and Ellie loves it.  She loves the little baby playground swings and just laughs while I push her.  It's hilarious.

What's the deal with March?  It's like 65 one day, and the next day I wake up and everything is covered in snow?  Irritating.  Plus the new car is black and even though I wash it every week it always looks filthy from the little storms.  

I can't wait for summer to get here, and for a California winter
 next year.  

*Funny story.  Last time I played outside with Ellie she was on a
 roll eating leaves as fast as possible before I could grab them from her.  After we had been back inside the house for about 45 minutes she spit out this little brown thing.  After investigating the little surprise package that came from her mouth, turns out IT WAS A LEAF!  It was all folded into a nice little bundle and she had been storing it in her mouth for almost an hour.  Funny little girl.
