Madi's Song

Madi is always "journaling" writing stories in her journal. I was cleaning as usual and came across this, once again just how she wrote it....it has to be about her grandma, it was so sweet.

Title "I Miss You"
I miss you
I miss all of the lafs and gegls
come back soon owowo
come back soon
I miss you vary much
cose I need you
Just come back home soon.

Clay Cardio #1

Clay's Cardio

I don't have any problems keeping this boy active, even in the cold. He has two new death defying stunts I'd like to share with you. I'd like to preface this clip with this "No children were harmed in the production of these videos." Do not try this at home...

Gone Fishin'

This is next on my quest to make all wallpaper in my house GO AWAY. I'm not fishin' for any compliments on this wallpaper, that's for sure!!! After this bathroom is de-fished I will only have the kitchen border to go. YEAH!! Death to fishy!!!!

P90 OUCH!

Did I say P90X, because P90 OUCH is more like it. Yeah, my muscles are confused, confused about why I am kicking their butt every night!! We are remaining hopeful that it will be less painful eventually. Madi wanted to participate with us the first night, then the next night she said she just wasn't up for it, and she had gym class that day...ha ha. She is hilarious, they just celebrated the 100th day of school, this is the poem she wrote, just like she wrote it.
I wish I had 100 frends at skoohl
I wish I had 100 buttrflys to
I wish I had 100 peesis of candy
But I don't wish I had 100 peesis of poop

P90X

Ok, so in the spirit of renovations, we have decided to renovate our bodies as well as our bathroom. We got a copy of P90X, this intense workout program that is supposed to be awesome. It is very versitile, yoga, weight training, cardio etc. and is supposed to cause "muscle confusion" and have dramatic results. We even had to install a bar to do pull ups in our upstairs room. For the record I cannot even do one pull up so this should be interesting....and I am secretly a hoss, who says that bar isn't going to fall down?? Anyway as you can see from our before pics, we have our work cut out for us. The only time we are both home consistently is at night, so the plan is to do our hour a day workout after Clay Clay goes to bed at 8:30pm, wish us luck!!

IZZY

So I finally figured out how to cut little boy hair, I have made peace with the guard on the clipper and a little gel will cover up most imperfections...

This is Clay telling me he wants to go outside, he doesn't say much, but if you say outside he will get his shoes and if you say chair he runs to his highchair, happy he is about to eat.

New puppy, Isabella Maree Rust, Madi and Corby saw a "FREE PUPPY" sign and stopped, I was not too amused because pups are a lot of work, but she is really sweet and the kids love her and Clay calls her "POW-PEE"

Let the destruction begin

The winter has forced us into being productive around the house...which means renovations, BOOO!! I did manage to take an old ghetto gold chandelier and paint it chocolate brown and add some beads to help it fit in with my dining room (cheap upgrade) but now the real project begins. Remember that wallpaper in my bathroom, down it comes. Corby started, I guess I have to participate and finish :) I just have to remember it has to get uglier before it gets prettier???
