The first of many~

trips to the park was made today. We had fun even though it was a bit chilly. It was supposed to be like 64 but I don't know if it quite made it to that. Devin got to swing for the first time (other than her baby swing of course) and she had a good-ole time. She also got to kind of slide but we couldn't capture it with a picture. I can't wait for warmer weather so we can do this more often.

It has begun

The quest to get back in shape and lose some baby weight has officially begun. Today I went to my first session at the gym. I went to this great cardio sculpt class that kicked my butt! It felt so good to work out~even if I was exhausted after the first 15 minutes. The instructor (the wife of Dave's class leader) was super encouraging and gave me some pointers for diet too. My goal is to lose 10 pounds by the 6th of June. Here's to sore muscles and jeans that will fit soon. =)

What's that?

After I put Devin to bed tonight I took Maylie out back to do her thing. While I waited on her I began to look around my yard and freak out. Now keep in mind it was that dusky time of night. As I looked around I thought "What is wrong with my yard? What am I going to do? Why are there all these discolored spots?" Then I realized...it's just green grass. Hahahaha!!! Yep, we have the beginning spots of green grass! Yay! That must mean that spring is truly starting to peak it's beautiful sunshiny head. I can't believe it's been winter so long that green grass had me freaking out.

My creative juices

are definitely flowing. The last couple of days I just want to quit doing household chores and make something. I want to make some birthday cards, scrapbook, and make Devin's rug all at once. BUT I haven't let myself since I have about a million other things to be doing right now...which, of course, includes clearing off my scrapbooking space.

I was watching this household Do It Yourself type show the other day and they sewed four bath rugs into a big square to make a rug for the living room. For those of you who don't know I've been looking for a rug for Devin's room for months. The ones I find are either too expensive, too big, or the wrong colors. I think I'm going to go and buy a few bath rugs and sew them together. That way I get the colors I want, the price I can live with, and rubber backing for when she spills stuff. =) Boy, I can't wait to get started!!
