I *heart* Mail!

In two days I have gotten two of my latest etsy orders!!! So exciting, I just love getting things in the mail! The first to arrive was my fat quarters of reclaimed bed linens. I am planning to make a summer beach quilt using Amy Butler's Lotus Brick Path Quilt pattern as it's super simple and fast! The next item in the mail was my fork tines necklace! I had her stamp on my son's names, just a little mother's day treat for myself!

In other news, Dylan sleeps like a charm again! It seems that he just gets so out of sorts on Monday and Tuesday. Mostly I assume from being hauled around in the carrier, or Dad's arms all weekend! So this weekend we are going to make an effort to have him sleep in his bassinet. Putting Dylan to bed has been as simple as wrapping him and placing him in his bassinet, FULLY AWAKE!!! He prefers to sleep on his side, so we just wedge a couple, balled up receiving blankets on either side of him! Cory can't believe how easily Dylan goes to sleep, I am so proud of our tiny boy!!!

Oh and tomorrow is Jackson's third birthday, but his BIG present is getting delivered today! A swing set with side and fort!! We picked it up on Used Victoria! I asked Jack where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner and the answer was "a chinese food restaurant"! So off to JJ's Wonton House we go tomorrow! He's been telling all hs grandparents about his birthday plan, it's so cute!!

And last and very least bikini boot camp ...... down the drains for now! I just don't have the time or energy to train right now. The bikini will have to wait until next summer I suppose!

BBC: Day Three

Well I did it! i just finished up my circuit training along with 15 minutes of core strengthening! I feel good, tired but good! For some reason my shoulders an neck have been sore ...... probably from my poor posture while carrying the kidlets around! I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow!! I almost forgot about it, and it couldn't have come at a better time! I can' wait! Even though today was long and hard, it all seems worth it at the end of the day.

The Carrier Queen!

My Little Dragon!

Super thrifted treasures!

Today is the day I started Bikini Boot Camp (BBC). I received my books that I had ordered online, yesterday, so decided to just throw myself right into the program. They give you a full days workouts, meditation, journal writing and menu for 14 days. I really like it, though it is WAY harder than I have worked in a long time .... and I am not even doing things quite as long as I should be! I like the menus, though it's just not enough food for me, must be the breastfeeding! I think I eat fairly healthy, so I am kind of sticking to the menu, but mostly just eating what I want to. It fees good working out, though all those crunches are killing me!! Also getting up at 4:00am is killing me!

Jackson wanted me to get up with him this morning, so I did, even though I had just been up for an hour with Dylan! I was able to make my breakfast, feed and hang out with Dylan, have fun with Jackson and even do yoga ...... all before 8am! When Cory got up we all headed to Value Village. I got some great finds, my favorite a wooden bowl for our nature collection! I grabbed some mason jars with handles for our drawing supplies, and some other little glasses for random craft bits. Two other things I found were some stars made of vines and a cute little doll chair. It was a great day for VV scavenging!

In the afternoon I took the boys to a birthday party, where Jackson got facepaint for the first time! It was the Princess and Knight party, so he finally wore his costume, kilt and all! Busy busy day, but lots of fun!!
