Day 9-Something you're proud of in the past few days

Something I'm proud of.....hmmmm. It is funny to think about something I am proud of for myself, I spend most of the time being proud of things the girls do. I guess I am proud that since the holidays I have been trying to tread lightly where food is concerned and I have been doing ok (not perfect, diet coke still gets me sometimes). Also I was proud of myself for sitting with the girls to read books even though I had other stuff to do, amazing how that kind of stuff gets neglected if you are not careful. That's it for today, 9 down 21 to go.

Day 8-Short term goals for this month and when you'll accomplish them

I am bored with this challenge, so I am not going to do it. What I am going to do is show you Marti's beautiful face after she lost her first tooth last weekend....



She looks so grown up.

The tooth fairy came to our house and left Marti 5 bucks for that tooth. The next day she wanted to go to the store to buy something with her money but she was worried that Emy would feel bad because she hasn't lost a tooth yet and couldn't buy anything. So, my sweet little Marti, without any prompting from Mom and Dad, got 4 quarters out of her tooth fairy money and gave it to her sister.

They are so kind and loving to one another it leaves me in awe. I know that as parents we are supposed to set the example but I definitely fall short a lot. So there you go, without meaning to I just did the challenge, my short and long term goal is to share my tooth fairy money.

Day 7-A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

Get it? Ha ha. I crack myself up.

Day 6-Favorite super hero and why

This is a question that Kory would answer much better than I will. I don't know that much about superheros, anything I do know I have learned from movies that came out in the last 5 years.

Batman is rich but he isn't smart, he gets all his stuff from someone else and he can't fly (just falling is lame). The Superman movies stink and I find Clark Kent annoying so he is out. I wish that I had more information about a cool lady superhero, but other than Storm (not a big enough character) and Jean Gray (whoop de do you can read minds, boring) from XMEN I don't really know any others. Spider-man is just awful and whiny so I can't pick him. Wolverine has too much emotional baggage and is no fun.

So based on my lack of knowledge on the subject I am going to go with my favorite superhero movie character Iron Man. I like that Iron Man doesn't have any special powers, besides being super rich, and that he is smart and made all his own gadgets.

Day 5-A picture of somewhere you've been to

This is a picture of a beautiful ravine in New Hampshire. We went to visit Jason and Steph and they took us to visit places all over the northeast. It was the first time I had been past Michigan and I was so shocked at how green and beautiful it was.

Day 4-A habit that you wish you didn't have

I procrastinate, and to illustrate that point I put this post up a day late. Totally on purpose. No, really.
