Campout Family Night

It was a cool, starry night, perfect for a camp out. We donned our backpacks and found our way to the campsite with the help of Justus' Paw Pilot (courtesy of Oso from Disney).

We ate burgers grilled out and baked beans from a cup around our campfire

We sang campfire songs and went on a hunt for bugs. Justus and Haven did a good job finding bugs and putting them in their bug catcher.

We ended our night with Smores...is there any other way to end a camp out night??

Fun AND yummy!!

One Tough Cookie

I guess when you have an older brother you have to learn to roll with the punches....literally! Haven was at the mercy of Justus this morning and the end result is what you see on her face. No, I dont think he hit her, but yes, I do think he pushed her into the wall. True as the title, Haven walked away and soon had a smile back on her face.

Spoiled

Yes, I am spoiled. My hubs is the very best. Last night I asked for a copy of DejaVu and last night I got it. He is the best!! It is such an intriguing movie. I love it. I guess Ill be watching it tonight with my bowl of ice cream ;)

Abandonment

Well, I started my cleanse and I think all that I have to intake is completely gross. Just my opinion, others may think its delicious. Therefore, Im abandoning my cleanse for something hopefully equally healthy and much more to my taste buds. I guess its better to try than to never try at all.

Dreading tomorrow....

Ever since my rebellion, Ive been eating horribly, like, constant rebellion. So I start my cleanse tomorrow and Im so not ready for it. Im going to be going thru caffeine withdrawls, sugar withdrawls, hunger and all sorts of lack of energy stuff! But, Im excited for the outcome...so I must fix my eyes on the prize!

Rebellion

On my quest for optimal health, Ive invested in a juicer, sought to eat only healthy items, readily embracing avocados, coconut oil, wheat grass supplements and lemon water. Ive given up soda - havent had any in about 3 weeks or more. Ive really been trying to gear up for my cleanse and cutting way back on my caffeine intake. But then it hit me. I cant live without it! I had a rendezvous with my boyfriends....oh maybe tomorrow Ill be back on track ;)

Soothing Techniques

From the time Justus could coordinate himself, he started sucking his thumb. That and his white blanket with the "messy corner"are the ways that he settles down or soothes himself. Haven on the other hand, is not so typical. She, from the beginning, chose neither thumb nor pacifier. Instead she would lick her crib sheets. Today that is modified to putting her blanket up to her mouth and licking it. Whatever works - I guess!
