HOT WHEELS PARTAY!

August 22nd, several (trying to forget the #) boys under the age of 8 will be invading my home for a HOT WHEELS PARTY!!!! I am super excited about having the kids over. BUUUUUT, now I am in a dilemma. I want to have some cool race car themed activities and food, but I need help... PLEASE HELP!!

So far, I am thinking that we'll get a pinata, have an obstacle course, decorate with checkered flags, have Hot Wheels cupcakes (or cookies). We also are watching a new cartoon Hot Wheels DVD. We'll have goodie bags with hot wheels, action figures, and Hot Wheels posters.

Any other (or better??) ideas out there?

FROM THE BACKSEAT

K: EWWWW, that stinks!!
Me: (OK, I'll bite) What stinks?
K: My feet, socks, and shoes!
Me: Why the heck are you smelling your shoes!?
K: And my feet.... and socks...
Me: You are so weird...
K: It smells like fart! *sniff* Bad fart!
T: Stop smelling your feet!! That's gross! *sniff* AH MAN THAT STINKS! *falls out laughing*
K: *cackling*

Why are boys so gross!? And... why was he wearing socks with crocs!?

RUNNING COMES BACK SO HARD

Went for a slow, mildly painful 3 miles this week. I have been doing P90X, so I thought that would be substantial enough to jump right back in... and I was wrong... oh I was so wrong.

One thing to note - I will definitely need new shoes within the next month. Knee did NOT like running in these. When the knee talks, I listen.

BTW, got pics of the dudes done tonight!! They ROCK! We spent way too much money, even though I vowed walking in there that we were NOT BUYING ANYTHING!! We had a free coupon for the Picture People - free 8x10, 2 sheets 5x7, & a sheet of wallets. It had been 2 years since we had professional pics taken and I am *cough* thrifty.

I saw those pictures that they bring out & I LOVED THEM... almost more than the actual kids themselves. These faces LOOK like my kids, but I imagined that these kids listen ALL THE TIME and clean their rooms, and wash behind their ears! Their little voices whispered to me... said that they even weed the flower beds and wash the dog with a smile on their cherubic faces. Well, they would wash the dog... if we had one.

BIG LEAGUE CHEW

IS DA SHIT!!!

AB RIPPER

Sorry, Tony... couldn't hang with you tonight on the abs. Maybe it was because I ate the Penn Station for lunch... yum...

SOMETHING ELSE THAT SUX

Losing a big toenail... gross.

WEEK 3

We did week 1 like... 2 or 3 times... but now we're onto week 3. I just didn't feel right moving on without giving the week a fair shot. :) I think I have started to adjust to the workouts too, which is totally against what P90X is supposed to be doing. Next week is a 'rest' week. Which all of us know is just code for a little less butt kicking than normal. :) I think when the 3 months is up, I'll have to post a pic for you guys to see how buff I got. LOL

On a side note, POISON IVY SUX!!!

GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT

Did plyometrics today - holy crap! What's that John Cougar Mellencamp song ... hurt so good... feeling better now - but I was totally hurting for that entire hour!

P90X

is no joke. I barely can lift my fingers.

First day down. :)

I can't believe I'm smiling.

Next time I'm putting the (pitiful) numbers here.

Plyometrics tomorrow.
