Lawn Surgery
Photos from when Jonathan and the boys came over to help me put in a dry well/french drain.  Mom was over and was able to talk to the boys into sitting inside where they could watch.  Apparently watching me shoveling was the funniest thing they'd seen -- they'd throw their little heads back and giggle and giggle.  I can't wait til they get bigger and can help! haha  So far so good though - no more water in the basement!
We also read Doctor Dan the Bandaid Man several times and I was conned into giving them new bandaids every time we read it.   They conned me into a number of things, come to think of it!
Bowdrie's getting so big - he packed for himself and probably for Carson too.  He did pretty good -- the only thing he forgot was jammies so that's why they are wearing my sweatshirts and pj tops.  They looked so funny!

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food!

This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
