Ramblings...

Well, today has been a busy day. We completed our passport of parks sponsered by the Bismark Parks & Rec Dept. We visited 7 of the 8 parks listed and had to answer a trivia question about them. It was really fun to go to new parks around the city. Today we went to 2 that are around the zoo. We went to one, then toured the zoo for a few hours (we have a membership and go about once a week), then went to another park and had a picnic. We turned in the books and the girls each got a shirt, gatorade and a few small toys. Taylor bearly can wear a 2T and the smallest shirts they had were a Youth Small! Oh well, who cares if she wears it in 2-4 years! Last night I went to MNO with Moms Club. This was really good for me to get out. Not only to get away from the snotty nosed, teething baby - but to talk to other Moms. I realized that working out makes me a better Mom. That 20-45 minutes I take of ME time makes me better. So, this morning I found myself awake at 7 am with a quiet house. So, I snuck downstairs to do the eliptical. Along with walking at the zoo and eating good today, I feel so much better! There is more though - I am taking the girls swimming with my MIL later today. We should all sleep well tonight!

Here are a few random pics of me that Alex took. I was shocked when I saw them!

This is me posing with Taylor.... I guess it is nothing too special since I am sitting.
This is the one that got me the most.
I think I look so skinny in this picture!
I know it is not cool to toot your own horn, but I am impressed!
This makes me want to continue to eat right and work out!

Not as great as the last pic, but this shows a front on visual.
Typical Mom ponytail!
