This week has been "off" for me!  I wanted to change up my workouts this week!  I didn't do any of my cardio classes that I normally do.  Instead I worked on a different set of muscles everyday and lifted heavier than normal.  Afterwards I walked/ran on the treadmill and then sat in the sauna.  I read that 30 minutes in the sauna can burn up to 600 calories....heck ya I'll sit in there!!  

We spent the rest of Monday playing at the house!  Cheer practice was canceled due to the fields still being muddy!!  I was so sad.....😉 Tuesday Madi and I took Kenzie to school and then went to the gym!  My arms were so sore from the day before but I pushed through it!  Madi and I came home and played until it was time to get Kenzie from school!!

We wrestled and tickled and laughed!  I enjoy my alone time with her!  She is so funny!!  Kenzie wanted a picture in her Halloween shirt when we got home!

Practice was canceled again Tuesday night!!  I made an amazing chicken enchilada soup and Scotty came home early and we had a nice family dinner!!!  

Wednesday I took Kenzie to the doctor for her cough!  Dr said her lungs were clear and she looked fine so we will continue with the mucinex for now I guess!  Since I didn't go to the gym I decided to go for a run!

It felt so good to get outside and run!!  That night we had the Halloween carnival that I already posted about!  Today I took Kenzie to school and came home to finish up things for Kenzie's class party!  Madison was so excited when she saw the cupcakes!  I bribed her the whole day to be good with those cupcakes!!  After the party and we got home Madison went strait down for a nap!  Kenzie and I laid down but she got back up to play in the playroom!!  When I got up she was covered from head to toe in stamps from her goody bag, she had eaten a ton of candy, painted her toes, and the reason I got up was because I heard the alarm say the back door opened!  She was just going to go outside by herself without even asking first!  I was so mad!!  Bebe and papa came over to watch Madi while Kenzie and I went to cheer practice!   Practice was extra rough tonight!  They were all over the place!  Competition is in 2 weeks so fingers crossed that they pull it together!!

Kenzie's class pumpkin party

I don't know if I mentioned before, but I am the room mom for Kenzie's class!  I am so excited!  I have waited my whole life and I'm SO happy I am not working anymore and am able to do this.   Her class had their pumpkin party today!  (Not to be confused with a Halloween party, nothing but pumpkins were allowed...). I worked on a few games and got together some goody bags and I think the party was a success!  It's not too hard to keep a bunch of 4 year olds entertained!  Goody bags, candy and cupcakes is all that is really needed! I made a "Pumpkin Punch" game!  The kids would punch through the tissue paper and get whatever prize was in the cup!  They loved it!

In the background we had a pumpkin ring toss!  I couldn't really get a parent to man this station very well so it kind of got skipped over!  Another mom brought some little pumpkins and stickers for them to decorate and there was a pumpkin coloring sheet too!  Of course there were snacks and cupcakes too!

Our next party is for Christmas and I'm already getting some ideas together!!

Halloween Carnival

Korie and Dallas came over tonight and we went to a Halloween carnival that a local church was having.  The kids were so excited.  We took them last year and had a great time.

The kids had a blast.  Poor Madi did not understand why she was holding a bucket of candy and couldn't eat it all.  I caught her rubbing suckers on her face.  She looked so pitiful so I caved in and let her eat one.  They had tons of games set up for the kids and they got so much candy.

Fun filled weekend

The girls and I spent our rainy Friday playing all day!  We started off with some painting!  It was Madi's first time and I'm pretty sure she got more on her than on her paper--but she had fun!!

During Madi's nap, Kenzie and I played games and rearranged their playroom!  I sold their big kitchen, don't worry, I have other plans.  When Madi woke up she "helped" me play games but Kenzie was not a fan!  Poor big sister! Next up was playing blocks!  The girls loved it and haven't put them away since I got them out!

It's something they can play together, but not actually be playing together--if that makes sense!  After dinner we did Halloween handprints!  Kenzie would do these a million times, Madison hates it and scream bloody murder until it is washed off!  I only got a footprint out of her!!

Saturday morning we were awakened by our sweet daughter at 5:00 wide awake wanting to watch cartoons and play!  Seriously??  We convinced her to quietly play in the playroom for another hour!! 

Saturday night we had a wedding to go to so Bebe came over to watch the girls!!  

We didn't know anyone but the bride and groom and their families!  We sat at a table in the back by ourselves and enjoyed some drinks while we people watched and talked!  It was nice to get away by ourselves but still be there to celebrate Tarina and John!!  We left there and stopped off at one of Scotty's co-workers Halloween party!  My phone died so I didn't get any pictures, but it was so much fun!!  We had too many drinks, laughed a lot and stayed out past our bedtimes!!  Today we went to our friend Madi's 4th birthday party!  Love their family and all our friends we share!  We always have a great time when we all get together!

She plays hard to get but he's going to be her future boyfriend!  Cutest thing ever!

Kenzie learned a new jump at gymnastics and loves doing it now!  Her herke is actually really good!

Scotty had his fantasy basketball draft at our house today, so after the party we went to Bebe and Papa's house to visit!

Kenzie was all about Ike today!  He is such a good dog and just rolled around with her softly!  I was so exhausted that I picked up dinner on the way home and lounged around the rest of the evening and now enjoying a nice hot bath while Scotty puts the girls to bed!!  Another busy week coming up!
