Walk around town....

Bubba, Magoo and I spent the afternoon walking around town. My goal was to get in 10,000 steps today. I woke up a little past 6am and walked about a mile and a half around the neighborhood. Then after lunch, the kids and I went for a walk (the long way!) to the library. We then took a stroll through town. Ellie gets very excited when we walk past her school. It's so cute! As of 4pm I walked over 4.5 miles and 12,000 steps!! Woo hoo!! I still have 10 pounds to go to get to my pre baby weight. The last 10 pounds are always the hardest!

Charlie ate his first entire jar of Stage 1 sweet potatoes today. He was freaking out over them. It was so cute!! He tries to hold his bottle, but pulls it out of his mouth. Ellie never held a bottle so it's exciting to see him try. Nice to know with kid #2 we can still experience some firsts!!

Still hot over here...

Yesterday and today both in the mid-high 80's. Yesterday we set the sprinkler up out front. Ellie did much better than she did with it last year, but she's still not a huge fan.

As much as I love the warmer weather (though I could stand for it to be a tad bit cooler than 88, but feel bad complaining because I feel like I was just complaining about it being too damn cold) I HATE the bugs that come along with it. Chris killed a hornet in our bedroom the other day. Wonder why I haven't been sleeping well at night? And just now I killed a bee that was hanging out on the carpet in Ellie's bathroom... WTF! I hate bugs!!! All I could picture was her stepping on it and being allergic. That would be fun considering today I am without a car! So, I put on some shoes and decided to take care of it myself like a big girl. Normally, I would just close the door and put a towel under it to prevent its escape and wait for Chris to get home, but since it was on the floor I figured it would be easy enough to deal with. I am still feeling things crawling all over me. It's just gross. I've checked on Charlie a million times too because he's napping in the next room.

I have to go put Ellie down for a nap because we were invited across the street (they have a 2 1/2 year old and one on the way) to play in their kiddie pool. We'll probably be out past her bed time. I really hope she goes down well.

Bubba's great. He has been eating a lot of bananas and oatmeal. He opens his mouth for it now and isn't as messy.

I'm probably going to make a trip up to MA now the last weekend in May because my sister had to cancel her trip for the weekend before. It'll probably just be a slightly extended weekend since Chris will be here by himself in Jersey. He can't take any time off until the end of June so it will just be me and the kids.

This Week's Shopping Trip!

I spent $70.09 and saved $79.37. It may not seem like I got a lot of groceries, but this week I stocked up on ground beef and chicken (can I get a hell yeah for grilling!). In total I got 8 lbs of ground beef and 7 lbs of boneless chicken breast. I also stocked up on tuna. We really didn't need much this week and our food storage is packed, so I kept it light.
Ohh and check out my year to date savings of $540.38... that flat screen TV has almost paid for itself (yeah right!).
