The little things

I have a whole bunch of random pictures and a whole bunch of random thoughts!

How sweet is this?

I got it in my head yesterday that I need a double jogging stroller NOW. I tried to run with our current double stroller but it was awkward and clumsy. It's the kind where one kid is in front of the other which works perfectly when out and about in public (mall, fairs, public events) but not so great for the great outdoors.

Hubby said that unless I can find a used one, I should wait at least a month so that it isn't a hasty decision. Why does he always have to be right about stuff like this?

Girls, you may be mad about this later, but come on. This is cute.

I updated my MyFitnessPal page to personalize it and also added a ticker to the bottom of this little blog showing how I'm doing. I need some accountability yo. I had one good day (yesterday) and am feeling encouraged but also overwhelmed as that day was hard and I know that it is just the beginning. Add me @msdeyle if you want! I also made my food diary public because if I'm going for transparent, that's the only way to do it. Feel free to check out what I'm eating if you'd like. The good, the bad, the ugly, right?

First time using chalk. HUGE SUCCESS

Hubby's busy season is in full swing. He's already worked two 15-16 hour days this week and has no plans of slowing down. He told me earlier that he'd see me in August. Fun, huh? As always, I need to remember to thank him for his hard work because he does his very best to provide for us and I appreciate that sooo much.

Holding hands. Can you stand it?

As you may have seen yesterday, we've been going outside no matter what the weather throws in our face. On Monday, the weather was actually good and Josie got to play on playground a little bit while her sister slept in the stroller. It would have been all fun without any cares in the world except  that these older kids were throwing sand and attempting to trample her in their crazy playing ways. Any advice for how to keep that from happening? I didn't know if I should go all tough mama on them or if leaving and pretending I didn't see it was the best. BTW, no parents were in sight and there was a pond nearby that the kids were dangerously close to. I was a little nervous more than once, but thankfully by the time we left, they were not playing so close to the shore anymore. I was not in the mood to jump into a mostly frozen pond to save a kid that had just been throwing sand at my daughter.

After searching once again for the perfect shoes to wear as comfy/classy "mom" shoes, I ended up just buying another pair of TOMs, black this time. I couldn't be more predictable if I tried, but at least I know I'll be comfortable while still looking like "cool mom". The fact that I put that in quotes is probably already working against me.

Proof that we do still have our second daughter. She's always sleeping when the camera is out...

That's all for now. Here's to Spring, even though I'm not seeing or feeling it right now!
