~The Daily Grind~ 3/6/10

[bigbabyblues]

Happy Saturday all!

Holly, it sounds like Bubba will be full of stories when they get home! I hope your DH took a camera. DH & DS8 got to stay at COSI in Columbus, Ohio last year with scouts, sounds like the same thing. This year, we get to spend the night at the Columbus Zoo, and all 4 of us can go (DS & 1 parent is paid for by the pack, but DS6 & I have to pay something). I can't wait!

I'm trying to clean around here some today:

haircut & color this a.m. (done, DS6 says I got "stripes" in my hair)
haircuts for both boys
laundry - DH
downstairs bathroom
upstairs bathroom
sweeper in family room
general pick up downstairs
scrap

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

Steph

Thank you everyone. He did have an awesome time. And the mouth has not stopped since he got home.
I'd love to stay at a zoo! Maybe next year. They are going to do the battleship this year too. And there was mention of the local baseball stadium. On the field with tents. I might do that one.
Hope everyone had a great day.

Holly I'd love to be a fly on the wall, I so remember how L was with those trips.

Now if I can just get FB to cooperate I'd be having a good night I think it's has eaten one of the long videos. Anyone have experience with the videos side of fb? I'm a little out of my league here.

 

[party of 3]

Insaw your videos on there earlier today. I can't access them because the iPhone won't let you but I think there was 3 of them. I wish I could help but that's out of my league too!

Linda, I hope you feel better soon, and long before the Cape Cod Crop. You MUST be healthy for that!

Oh I would love to do roar and snore!!!!! Can I find someone to be my daughter so I can go and do that!!

oh I told him he at least has to have a pic of him with the screw. If he comes home with out that.......

How about you be my daughter and we can do the Roar and Snore? I would be good at both those things!

Good morning!! Meant to get up early this morning, but that didn't happen. Battling a little stomach bug, but we are having a BEAUTIFUL weekend, so I intend to enjoy it!!

Holly--hope DS had fun! That sounds like a blast!!

We're taking DS today to get his Easter pics made with the live bunnies. I'm hoping to accomplish that, exercise, changing the sheets, and maybe scrapping some!

I hope everyone has an awesome day!!

Sorry you aren't feeling well, SIOH. How did the bunny picture go?

My to do list went something like:

load of work clothes into the wash
folded clothes from the dryer
Went to CPR and AED training
Lunch out with with my honey
Borders to pick up Deceptively Delicious book. Linda, please thanks Jackie for referring this to me. Great recipes that I am looking forward in trying.
Home Depot to look at dishwashers, ours sounded horrible this morning. At 20+ years old, I am thinking it will need to be replaced soon.
Sears to look at exercise bikes. Does anyone have one they love? I need good back support otherwise it won't work out for me.

PO3, maybe you have a future scientist in your family! Whet his appetite here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes

Lisa- I have a stamina 4755- it is a reclining exercise bike. I really like that style- you are sitting like in a chair on it so I can keep going on it longer than other styles.

Rebecca, that is exactly what I need. We were looking at a NordicTrack.

 

[party of 3]

You are on Lisa!!! Let's do it!!

Thank you Linda! He loves that stuff.

So, have I got two new girls in my troop?

 

[party of 3]

Yea you do!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Why do I have a feeling I've have a harder time with you two than the other 16 girls combined?

 

[rlovew]

Lisa- I just realized the one problem with our bike. If you have people that will be using it at different hieghts then it is very hard to switch users. You have to have 2 people lift and pull apart or push together the bike. The mechanics for this are on the ground under the bike. If DH wanted to use it then we would have problems switching back and forth. If this is something you need to think about check it out before you get anything.

Suuuuuuuure you will.

I didn't love the deceptively delicious book, Lisa (and Jackie must not have either because she hasn't e more than glance through it.)

The theory is wonderful, but a lot of the veggies and fruits she uses to puree are very high in carbs and or sugars - ie, beets, winter squash, and the recipes, while she does use whole wheat and other alternative flours, can not be considered low calorie or low carb without work.

If the whole goal is getting more veggies down your kids then it's perfect, but if you're watching your carb or sugar intake or have a diabetic in the family, be careful.

They use recumbant bikes at the gym and they're pretty easy to adjust - i'm thinking the brand might be nu-step? They're very pricey though, so you might want to check "play it again sports" or a health and fitness store that carries used stuff.

Happy day, all!
