Monday

It's about 85 degrees or more here today. The kids are playing naked outside with some water. I'm too damn hot to go take pictures.

Parker claims it's Ted's birthday today, but I'm pretty sure Ted has had a birthday every month this year and I need to draw a line somewhere.

The kids were all back in 'school' this morning and they all seemed pretty happy about it. As was I, even if it was only for 2 + hours.

We had a fabulous egg hunt on Saturday with my twin mom friends. It went incredibly well and it was ridiculously sweet. My camera was out of batteries, but my friend Ebba took some for us: http://casadelacolina.blogspot.com/2009/04/easter-egg-hunting-party.html

I was back to my crazy morning workout today. After yesterday's run and "sleeping in" to 6am for the past week or so, it was rough stuff. But if must be paying off as I'm down 25 pounds from the peak of my thyroid issue. I haven't decided what weight I want to stop at and I'll figure that out when I am closer to it.

The kids are now arguing about who the big bad wolf is. I always get to be the mama pig.

Speaking of mama, Elizabeth has started calling me "mama", which I find quite odd.

Michael and I are planning on a trip to Hawaii at Christmas and although it's over 7 months away, we could not be more excited about it.

The kids don't know the difference between flies and bees outside, even though they do in pictures and books. What is that about?
