We had a large,nearly full bottle of bubbles. A few days later,I realized it was halfway gone. I didn't know who exactly was the culprit,but I knew their name ended in "a" or "n". One night,I went in to check on Joshua (the one who showers for 45 minutes) and instead I found a bubble monster in the tub..
There isn't ANY water in that tub...it's 100% bubbles.
That pic also solves the mystery of who emptied the new shampoo bottle and filled it with water. >:(

Sunday Night Blahs
Adam has class 4 nights a week again...no more Zumba except on Saturday mornings. :(
The kids' bunk beds are falling apart..again.
Adam applied for 2 more job openings...still no news on the other 3 jobs.
Adam's brother/boss hasn't been paid for a big job...therefore,Adam hasn't been paid yet either. :(
On the bright side,I get to see my family this weekend for an Easter egg hunt at my parent's house.

While I was getting my groove on at Zumba...
..this was happening in my kitchen -
The only thing Adam said was,"Camden James Southern..." and he started crying. (EDITED TO ADD: Camden started crying..not Adam. Although I'm sure it was "an emotional time for us all")
Really?? How can you get mad at this face??

Fitness Goals
Here are my goals for right now..
~Work out 4-5 times a week.
~Count calories and stay around 1500-1600.
~Cut back on soda.
In the past week,I have worked out 5 times. I have stayed under my calories all week...and I have only had an occasional soda. I'm attending Zumba classes and when I can't get out,I play Dance Central for an hour and a half. Dancing is the best way for me to exercise because I really enjoy it. Now I just have to stick with it!

Happy Blogiversary to Me!

Today is my 4 year blogiversary! *confetti*
So many things have changed since I started this blog.
I've had 2 more kids.
Josh and Brianna started school.
Adam went back to school and is working on getting his bachelor's degree (and he only has 14 months left!)
Adam has changed jobs.
We moved out of my IL's...then back in again.
I've lost weight..then gained it back...then lost it...and gained it back again. *sigh*
There have been many difficult times but there have also been some prime blessings in my life and I'm grateful for that.
P.S.
Here is a funny comment from Josh...
"You know mom,when you make me do homework and all of this stuff..I cry a little."
He cracks me up!

Adventures at the local Wallymart
I'm a night shopper. I prefer to go to the store when Adam is home so he can take care of the kids. It's so nice to be able to take my time and not worry about meltdowns because of the word "no".
Yesterday I made the mistake of going to the store at 5:30. There was a general ornery vibe because of the hungries and grumpies....and the kids were worse.
Josh was mad because "Money is stupid and he just wants a Nintendo DS!!"
Brianna was running with the cart and then jumping on it.
Brayden was picking up boxes of treats and saying, "pleasepleasepleaseplease!"
Camden was opening a box of candy because "it's too long to wait!"
Savannah...was just chillin'.
After a few detours, we made it to the checkout. Brianna was helpful and cooperative while Josh and Brady played with a closed cash register. I called them back over to help out(this might have sounded like yelling and there *may* have been threats involved) and they started putting the bags in the cart. After I paid for my items I noticed that Camden was no longer in the cart. I started searching frantically,while images of Camden being kidnapped went through my head. Just as I was about to tell the cashier what had happened,I looked over and saw Camden sitting at a table at the Subway. Apparently he was hungry and it looked like the perfect place to eat dinner.
I vowed to never again take the kids shopping with me...until the next time my brain short circuits and I think,"it's just a quick trip,I'm sure it will be fine."
