1. What would it be like to unroll my own toilet paper & flush my own pee? Winnie is really into talking like the big kids, and they've declared it absolutely hilarious that she'll repeat virtually anything they tell her to. I'm virtually driving a bus these days, and have sent far too many snacks rouge to the trunk to keep at this pace. Three people (NOT store employees) offered to help me to my car at Home Depot last week - do I really look like that much of a circus?

(I do a group strength class that focuses on light weights, lots of reps, very little cardio, or sometimes will do a yoga class) or an online workout video (I love I have this set up in two rotations, so you can alternate each time you go to the gym - because work-out boredom is. Round One Upper - 3 sets of 10 dumbbell curls (I use two 10lb dumbells, but use whatever feels right for you) (use the tricep pulley machine) Lower - 3 sets of 10 deadlifts Round Three Abs - 3 sets of 20 ab crunches Upper - 3 sets of 10 chest presses (laying on bench) Cardio: 10 minutes on the elliptical, bike, or stair master Lifting (each is a superset): Round One Upper - 3 sets of 10 dumbell shoulder press Lower - 3 sets of 10 lunges Round Two Upper - 3 sets of 10 machine lat pull downs Lower - 3 sets of 10 machine leg extensions Round Three Abs - 3 sets of 20 ab crunches on a bio ball Lower - 3 sets of 10 leg curls Cool

We've also been barbequing a ton - a few things coming off the grill: barbecue ribs, dijon parmesan corn (grill corn until it's nice and blackened, once off the grill, coat with a 50/50 mix of whole grain dijon & mayo, and then top with parmesan cheese. Lots of time at the pool, a ton of doctors appointments (which means lots of time at Nana's! ) and still lots of organizing. The kids had the best time ever watching Cougar Baseball and I ate my way through Pullman, which is always a treat. We also stayed at a fancy hotel in Spokane one night and Collin upgraded us to the penthouse suite, which was mind-blowing for the little people :) Cleaning, organizing, nesting & garage sale-ing.
