One lucky girl: Week eight weigh in and some other stuff

okay so I should start this by sharing that the diet was pretty much non-existent this week. Sad but true.. I did not exercise at all:(.. life got in the way of any 'me' time and then this weekend really kicked my butt. I ate junk at the mall food court instead of the wheat sandwich from subway followed by a trip to our little ice cream shop friday night.. homemade ice cream, had to have some. Then the ball park all weekend- that says enough {nachos, taco in a bag} it's all very depressing and to be real, I have trouble looking at my nutrisystem food there in the pantry but back to it and some kind of exercise this week.. I am determined. I did manage to still lose a pound though so think if i gave it any effort. :)

other stuff: Busy life ya know!

Jackson had his first baseball game of the season and it was awesome! He pitched and did fabulous! He had a game winning grab and he hit a home run.. well, he really hit a double but the outfield made a couple errors and he scored on his hit so..in the park homer;) We also played his teacher's son and so she was there cheering him on too..she loves him and he will sure miss her. So happy he had a huge 1st game!

forgot my zoom lens so better pics next time

Jackson is also thrilled about the bird nest right outside his window.. checking on the eggs daily.

I was able to go on a field trip with Jackson this week. We went to see a play and it was fun to spend the day with him. He is a great kid-

although I will say it felt like i was working. I went right away in the morning to Jacob's school to run 8th grade grad copies and then right to Jackson's school for the trip and then as soon as that was over i went to my mom's school for my big craft projects with moms and kids.. lots of work but fun and i am already thinking up things for the fall.

Friday i came home to a spotless kitchen- even the stove. i HATE to clean the stove, one of the worst jobs and my husband cleaned it all and he brought home roses and a mushy card. what a great way to start the weekend! thanks babe!

I finished Maggie's board for her party.. lots of fun looking through 18 years of photos. so many memories. I love how a picture takes you back in time.

She had a good party and I'm very proud of her. Her actual graduation is this wednesday afternoon.

We went to her party after Jacob's games then we met him at the coach's house for the team pool party. Did i mention I also had some margaritas?? bad weekend.bad.

Jackson and I went back out to the mall this morning so I could grab a few more things.. a super cute dress from AT loft and some dressy stuff for the boys. zoomed out to Roy Gayle to see a great game. Jacob's team won the entire tournament and Jacob hit his first home run out of the park this season.. he needed a big hit as he's been in a little slump. so, so happy for that. The team trophy is taller than me.. seriously! very cool.

Shane left right from the game to go to Wrigley with his Dad for the cub game.

The boys and i were home tonight.. i have been creating all afternoon/night. worked on the week of summer mini book

and the book for jackson's teacher as well as a little album for his math teacher who recently had a baby.

I also made a thank you card and sorted product kits. did a little laundry and watched some monday tv.

Busy rest of the week. baseball every night and making a bee hive cake tomorrow night for a teacher that is retiring. more creative work for classes. hoping to squeeze time in to tan and workout. Jacob's last day at Stephen Mack is Friday. can't talk about that since i'm over tired and will get to sappy.
