  1) I've made it over six months eating "clean" (90% or so) and I've dropped 15lbs!

  2) we had a cloth diaper fail this morning when my brother was watching J. It involved poop on the floor that he tried to blame on my sweet fluffy pooch. Luckily no one picked it up or ate it. 

  3) I'm feeling some beer. Or a margarita. Or a mojito. Or maybe all three.

  1. I may get a promotion I've been hoping for. It's looking promising.
  2. S keeps walking around with a pinwheel blowing into the air and not on it. It's adorable.
  3. Beer for sure. DH isn't much into wine right now for whatever reason. I'd really like a piña colada on the rocks (pineapple rum + pineapple juice + cream of coconut). I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

  1) I took today off, put DD in daycare and hit the beach with a friend.....amazeballs.
  2) I did a crap job with the sunblock on my shoulders and have stripes and finger outlines and I'm also really disapointed this is the funniest thing I could come up with.
  3) wine!!!! Will be starting once LO goes down and I can not wait!

  1 - DH has more side work lined out which means more IVF money!!
  
  2 - while playing outside today, I put a blade of grass behind H's ear. He had another in his hand and he put it on his head and walked around.
  
  3 - water for me. I'm not much of a drinker and I've already had mine one coke for the day.

  Love this!!
  
  1) one awesome thing about this week: my little guy has done amazing without his pacifier this week. He is 3 and was super attached. We tied the paci to balloons and let it fly away. After a traumatic first night for him he hasnt asked for it since.
  2) something funny: my kids
  3) what are you drinking tonight? Milkshake. Yummo!!

  Oh fun! On iPad, so may look funny... 1. Both the twins have gotten a lot more consistent with their walking this week (a few steps at a time for DS2) and walking while holding a hand (a big improvement for DD, who is 1/2 princess and wants to be carried EVERYWHERE). It's so cute watching those tiny little beings up on 2 legs! 2. DS1 has been asking for a "magic wand" lately. I have no idea where this idea came from, but I ordered a cheapie magician's wand for him from Amazon. He has been running around saying "Abacadabra!" every two seconds and declaring that X has been turned into a chicken, a cow, a lamp, etc. I can"t help but laugh at his excitement (and the fact that he asked she the batteries were for his wand). 3. Wine! I picked up a bottle of Chenin Blanc today and it is just what the doctor ordered :-)

  1)  DS started walking for real this week.  He's so proud of himself! 

  2)  My son thinks he's hilarious and is constantly laughing at himself.  When he "reads" his books his whole tone changes.  It's so funny!

  3) Well, last night I had a glass of pinot noir.  School finished yesterday and now I have 2 months at home with my little bug!
