Dye Job

I now have a WHITE eyebrow hair.
Weird.
I suppose that is nature's funny way of welcoming me to my 30's???
I am now afraid to pluck.
Am I going to have to have to start dying my eyebrows too...
or could I pull this off?

Thoughts?

Have you ever seen a fully gray-haired 30-something?

On another note,
we got River enrolled in a Preschool for the Fall!
It will be 3 days a week, and I am so excited.
The funny part is that there was only 1 spot available for that class,
and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration began at 7:30am, and the director had told us that last year
a parent showed up at 2:30 am to grab the first spot in line.
(Think Black Friday at Wal-Mart)
We thought that was so crazy, but the more we thought about it
we didn't want to miss out on the only spot available....
SO, Justin headed over there after we put the kids to bed on Friday night @ 9:30 pm
and camped out all night.
The second craziest parents showed up at 11:30, so I am so thankful we are just a tad bit more ambitious than the next person!

 Thank you Justin...

And just for good measure,
here are some scenes from the weekend.

Bluebonnets

Bubbles
 More Bubbles
 
And the trees that cover our backyard....love them!
Although, we did have one heck of a storm last week
where I swore a branch was going to break off
and take out a window or something.
Yay for Tornado watches and warnings!

Lean and Green


A study of vegetables...By Paige Donovan

A good reminder...made by Paige Donovan



My food choices for the next 10 days.
Nothing from a box, nothing sugared
Nothing that resembles a cracker, or goldfish, or granola bar.
Only real, only from the earth,
only cooked by me, only made by me.

Oatmeal, Brown Rice, Fruits and Vegetables, Chicken and Fish, nuts and seeds.
Minimal Olive Oil, minimal dairy.
BOOM!



I will keep you updated as I go along...and let you know what I learn along the way.
I will say that this is not a huge departure from the way we normally eat. I am just taking out any dessert, any bread, and processed food for the next 10 days to see how we feel.
I predict that I feel less bloated, less grouchy, have more energy, and have less cravings for these types of foods.
I will be tracking my progress at MyFitnessPal.com
Game On!

We did a photo-booth this weekend...so funny!
