Rock On Winter and move on out.......

We have been indoors quite a bit these last two or three weekends. The weather wasn't very warm, and now, it is a little warmer, but there has been this misty rain for the last couple of days on and off. The kids are getting cabin fever I think, and it is only January!!!!!

They have been entertaining themselves and playing well, but since they recently received new shoes they have been running and playing "Duke and Hawk" GI Joe and of course Star Wars!!

We are already look forward to spring...... I think I also need to add Vitamin D to my vitamin regime since the sun hasn't made it's presence it quite some time!!

More to come soon..........

Our little Dutch Boy

Today, Owen received his first mini hair cut.... I think the lady was a little hesitant to cut the hair- since he was crying for his Mama, but she was able to trim the back and also the bangs... that was about all that was done....I was not able to take some actual pictures during the cut, as Rob was getting his hair cut and Jake and I were "comforting" Owen and making sure he wouldn't make any drastic move! Maybe next time....
He survived and they gave me a lock of his little blonde curls and put it in an envelope with the date of his first haircut ( my mom will be so proud.... inside joke, huh, mom? ).

Aren't these boys- just the cutest little guys- growing up so fast!!!!

Need I say more??

Back to reality..............

Givin it up (a little)

Here is my vice...... Starbucks!

I am fully addicted... I'll admit- this will be hard, but I am going to give this up- a little.

Part of my new year goals is eating healthier, being more active, and overall, overhauling my diet to organic and more 'whole foods'. Rob and I watched "Food Inc" It was disgusting- it really made us want to cut out certain foods all together - but we will make some changes little by little. ( I am a little hesitant to say what these foods are- if you have seen this - you will know why) If you have not - I encourage you to rent the movie. Overall, we WILL be having a garden this year, we will be going to the farmers market every week, I am buying organic and I will seek out local farmers here......

Back to the Starbucks- this is a harder vice to cut back- but hey, it could be worse, I don't smoke and I rarely drink so that has been my justification. Not to mention, the $ I will save!!! My goal is to cut this to 2-6 times per month- trying to keep it to Sunday mornings and the occasional Saturday.
With all the money I will save cutting this out- I can afford organic food ; )

Next, Rob and I will be watching "Sicko" another great, uplifting document about the way our government has allowed large corporate businesses to screw people........ Have a Great day!
