The wii fit is a huge hit around here!  The kids are taking turns on it pretty much constantly which is a good thing considering it is actual exercise.  I haven’t had time to “play” it today, I did do the balance exercises yesterday though.  I didn’t do as bad as I expected…  They are all working to beat the previous first place winner.  I don’t have a chance with this group but it’s okay…

I’ve been b u s y today!  I cleaned out my car, washed the floor mats and carpet, swept it, washed it… worked on vacuuming the pool and then had to go buy a replacement vacuum brush because somehow ours broke.  Now my arms are super sunburned from being out so long.

I’m watching Emelia right now, she’s doing boxing on the wii fit and it’s pretty funny!    I’ve given them all chore lists for the Summer, they were not thrilled about it… but are doing their jobs pretty well.   I added brush teeth, make bed, and gather any laundry from your rooms to their list.

Well, I’m off to fold a load of clothes and put away another load…  and then start dinner… and then church…

Guess who stopped by to help me transplant monkey grass this afternoon?

It’s Corey… Julie’s hubbie. He was my (and Matt’s) friend before he was Mr. Julie :) and he stopped by while Julie was at her sister’s house swimming. He thought it would be funny for me to post this picture, because he hadn’t mentioned he came by. The funny part is that Julie said my pictures load slowly so she just saw the caption and wondered who it was…

I’m not a light sleeper. At all! Matt is a light sleeper which can be a problem. If someone accidentally wakes him up he has a hard time getting back to sleep. I pretty much fall asleep when my head hits the pillow and stay that way until the last possible minute I have to get up. Getting a full night’s sleep is so important. I know it can really make a difference in Matt’s personality. He is much happier when he is well rested. I have heard about a white noise machine. I know that it helps Matt to sleep with the fan on for the noise mainly. I wonder if the white noise machine would help him? Static annoys me greatly, so I’m not sure I could handle it.  It might be worth a try though.
