Our Weekend

This weekend I took Maddy to get her dance gear. I had only planned on getting her tap shoes, but I decided I may as well go ahead and get it all lol. We got her tap shoes, her ballet dress, dance tights, and ballet shoes. Honestly they are the cutest things ever!! She is in a size 9 shoe now, but for her ballet shoes she took a 10 and her tap shoes she took a 9.5, however, we may need a 10 sooner rather than later. I really want to get her a cute dance bag to store her clothes in, but I don't know if it would be worth the money at this point. Maybe next year I will know better whether she will want to keep dance up or not and then can decide on the bag, but then again I will probably end up just getting it lol.

I really wanted to play dress up with her and take a lot of pictures, but I didn't because I don't want her to get used to "playing" in them ...it's quite pricey when you buy everything at once and think about the fact that she is a growing girl and I will be buying several outfits and shoes throughout the next two years of daycare. I  had to fight back the tears as I got them because I can just envision her all decked out in dance wear and it's just beyond cute!

We also picked out valentine cards for her friends at school. She wasn't too interested in picking them out like she was last year, but she was distracted by her computer. I finally just had to grab one of each and throw in the buggy and asked her to pick one. I thought it would be hard for her to choose because they had Hello Kitty, Minnie Mouse, and Bob....she chose Bob. We also bought a little candy and some treat bags. I will post pictures later this week. I was able to sneak in her valentine gifts as well :)

I'm so proud of myself! I have been trying to cut down my mello yello intake. I turn 30 in a month and my body has already changed for the worse. It holds EVERYTHING I put in lol. I decided to start working on my lifestyle change now before it got too out of hand. I did pretty good last week...my ultimate goal is to get myself down to just one a day. While I work that's a little difficult because my job is high stress and since I tend to work round the clock I need things to get me through and keep me awake...although the caffeine really doesn't affect me. I have only had one mello yello today and also had some water. My food intake was very healthy...half a grilled pork chop, mashed potatoes, squash, and green beans. I was able to get my work out in and I feel so good. I wish I could do this everyday...it's a goal I'm working on for now.

Today at church Maddy's small group went and passed out candy to the adult small groups. They gave Hershey's Hugs. There is nothing sweeter than getting something from a 3 year old. They of coarse got to bring some of those Hugs home :)

I'm hoping to get to bed before 1 a.m. today. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned today on top of work out so hopefully I will just let myself sleep.
