What's Up Wednesday

So, in case you didn't know, I LOVE to read blogs. Typically, I like the mom blogs because that is just the stage of life I'm in now, although I love any blog written by someone I know! I don't know these bloggers but I pretty much think I could be friends with tons of them. Anyways, they are always doing "link-up parties" where they will post about something and ask everyone else to post about it using their link. Then, say they were writing about their favorite brand of kids clothing, you could read a ton of other posts linked together and learn all about kids clothing. So, one particular link-up a group does is called "What's Up Wednesday". I have no desire to link to them because my blog is just for family and friends, but I like this one. So, here you go!

1. What we are eating this week: We have 4 nights in a row of church meetings or events that Vic or I one are going to. So, we ate crockpot shredded chicken and leftovers of it a couple of nights; we are eating this new recipe where you just put your chicken breasts in a dish, cover with a jar of pesto sauce, a slice of tomato on top of each chicken piece and cover with a little shredded mozzarella cheese. Put it in the oven and done! That's about it - I may do cheap pizzas with the kids on Friday night because Vic has a dinner to go to.

2. What I'm reminiscing about: definitely the year 2008 when I worked out a lot and ate super healthy and wondering why it's so hard to get back into that habit!

3. What I'm loving: I am loving Kids Club at Gold's Gym because I can put the kids in it while I workout! That means I get at least 2 mornings a week to workout during the day.

4. What we've been up to: We have been up to birthday parties, baby showers, and baptisms! It's been fun attending and/or planning and shopping for both kids parties, Olivia's baptism, and Mindy's baby shower!

5. What I'm dreading: I can't think of anything right now.

6. What I'm working on: I'm working on "living simply" which was my New Year's resolution. Vic and I are trying to learn to say no to certain things, live on a smaller budget, spend as much quality time as possible with our kids, and not be so busy that we get frustrated or don't have fun. Since January, we've done a really good job of this!

7. What I'm excited about: I'm excited that Grace is saying so many new words and sounds!

8. What I'm watching/reading: I am still in the middle of reading a biography of Julie Andrews. When the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music happened a couple months ago, I got super interested in learning all about her. The entertainment industry back then was very different than now - I'm loving it! And I should be embarrassed, but I am loving watching "The Royals" on E! It's all about a fictitious Royal Family in England and is just a big soap opera...but I'm very into it.

9. What I'm listening to: Quiet. Ahhh. Grace is napping and Atticus is playing in his room for quiet time.

10. What I'm wearing: My workout clothes from my 9:30 class this morning. And no, I haven't showered yet either. And yes, it's 2:00. This is the life of a stay at home mom to 2 little ones.

11. What I'm doing this weekend: Well, Vic is on the Pastor Call Committee at Church so he has a dinner with a candidate Friday night and the interview all morning Saturday morning. So, I'm likely hanging out with kids at home and maybe get to do a little scrapbooking Saturday afternoon. And our last day of Sunday School, for the year, is on Sunday, so that will be a fun day too!

12. What I'm looking forward to next month: I'm excited to go to Sanger in June for Camp Erwin!

13. What else is new: Exercise, eat right, weigh in. That is "new" because I can't seem to stay consistent. So, we are working on that every day!
