Workout

So today was day 1 of working out. Man was it hard. 1 hour of cardio, step, weights there was a little bit of everything in there. In 2 days I am going to be in so much pain it will be ridiculous. But Brandy and I are going to stick with our 1 day a week plan right now and hopefully build ourselves up to a little more.

We are closing in on the weekend here, half day friday, work saturday and take the kiddos to get their haircut. Good times.

Weekend...

Well the dance came and went. Devon and my dad had fun. I think it was much better than they expected. I enjoyed my evening on the couch alone. It was not even enough time to watch a movie before they came home.

We had a fun weekend and had great family time. Tomorrow comes the first workout with Brandy. Time to get my 10 pounds off.

Happy Spring.

Can't remember if today is the first day of Spring or if it was yesterday but anyways, Happy Spring. When you have 2 kids it all runs together. All I know is it was cold.

A miracle happened today, I finished up Girl Scout Cookies. It was one of the best days of my life. Not sure how many more years of being a cookie mom I can handle. We saw the Brownsburg production of Beauty and The Beast tonight and it was wonderful. They did a great job. The costumes and backgrounds were fantastic.

Tomorrow Devon is taking the girls to the father daughter dance and grandpa is getting the pleasure of going along too. We will have to have the camera ready.

Monday, monday....

What can I say about today. I guess it was pretty, no rain, no snow it was jsut right. The girls still have the sniffles. I am waiting for Southwest to come out with their airfares still for October and that is about it. Good times to be had by all.

An eventful weekend.

Well we kicked off the weekend by trying to go to the new casino to hang out with the cool people of Indy. After spending roughly 2.5 hours in traffic and then 1 hour in line, we gave up the fight. We drove to the Anderson casino where Devon won some cash and we had a 3 am feast at Dennys. I can always count on Danya to join in my crazy antics.

Sat was b-day party time and Hockey game. Today we went to the auction where we found a pretty antique desk that I am turning into a vanity. All I need is a mirror.

All in all a great weekend. Girl Scout cookie sales are almost finished and we can return to some sort of normal system in this house if that is possible.

Is it going to get warm???

It was yet another chilly day in Brownsburg here. There is some crazy rumour out there that it is supposed to get warm here soon. We will see I guess. The most exciting part of the day today would have been George Clooney on ER. Once you get to the age I am at that is what does it anymore. So onto the start of the weekend (kinda). It is friday at the old workplace tomorrow. This must be an exciting read to the 1 person that reads it!!!

30 something.

I am officially 31 years old. Yippee. I am now 30 something. Doesn't feel any different, just another day. I got some flowers, cards and stuff. It was movie night at the school so the girls got to hang with their friends and watch Wall E while Devon and I ate some yummy dinner together. So nice of the school to coordinate that together.

Tonight was yet another Daisy Scout meeting. We made Spring Globes and I am stoked to say they were a HIT!!!!! They loved them and it was all a sucess. We earned a patch and it was another sucessful Daisy hour. WOOT WOOT. Other than that I have 2 mildly sick kids.

Oh and Allison wants to eat at what she calls the best steak place around, Frank and Marys in Pittsboro. When she grows up she will be a little angry when she finds out that is a hamburger without a bun :)

So that is all I have fo y'all now.

Beautiful day.

It was 70 degrees today. It was gorgeous, too bad I had to work. Luckily it was Friday so I got off at 5 and the girls wanted to play outside a bit. We had some dinner and then headed to the auction to hang with grandma and grandpa to see what kind of good stuff we could find.

The best buy of the night for us was a new bed frame for Devon and I. I think we might actually get to imrove our bedroom this spring or summer. So a coat of paint will do the room good, along with our awesome new bed frame.

Tomorrow is the big Spring Fling at the girls school. I will be working the candy wheel!!!

Growing up....

So you know when your kids are growing up because they start talking about when they are going to get married (and they are only 6). Allison told me that she was going to have 1 boy and a girl. But that she would have to still come over to my house at bed time so that I could make her stuffed Pooh Bear talk to her. It is moments like that that make your heart melt.

Zoe on the other hand wishes she would never grow up. She wants to stay little forever and never leave us. She just wants to be like Peter Pan and move to NeverLand, but who can blame her. Nobody wants to have responsibility.

Children may throw fits and be big pains in the butts, people may roll their eyes and stare at you at these moments, but people are not with us at these moments when they are as sweet as can be. With the pain Devon and I have experienced these little girls are the light to us.

First post....

Hello folks, well this will be my first attempt at "blogging" and we will see if I stick with it. It is something I wish I would have done when the girls were babies but really who has the time to do that. So now that they are 6 years old here is my attempt to do that.

So where is the Nelson family in our lives right now. Just here, we are simple people that like simple things. We do not have to brag on fancy designers or have the new things to show people. We just traded in the family car for a new/used car. Why get Gap when there is Old Navy.

So here I am getting ready to turn 31 and a mother to 6 year old twins. A Daisy Scout leader to about 10 girls, getting ready to hit the local stores to sell cookies. Whoever knew me 15 years ago would think that was a total joke. But I would not trade it for anything.

So more to follow later......
