Working out

Steven and I joined the gym this summer. At first, I mostly used it for the swimming pool. Maggie and I would go and cool off in the afternoon at the pool. I occassionally went to the water aerobics class, but we have been gone a lot this summer so I haven't used the gym a lot.

Last week, I realized how much better I feel when I walk for 30 minutes. There's a child care section that Maggie can go to while I work out. At first, she hated going, but now she enjoys it. She loves Wednesdays, too. They have a gym class for kids and she showed me her "yogo" moves this morning. It was pretty cute.

So, I think I set a new record for me. I worked out 5 times last week. I have been 3 times this week so far. I might only make it 4 times this week because of a work day on Saturday at church. Of course, I haven't lost any weight, but I feel better and I know it's good for my borderline high blood pressure.

Good news

 

My mom got a job! She will be teaching middle school English. YAY! She asked me to take some pictures of Maggie for a planner that she is ordering of Maggie being a teacher.

I have a question for y'all. Maggie wants a laptop to type on like mine. I have seen some Barbie laptops for little girls that are cute. But, I think you can only play the preloaded games on them. I would like to find a laptop for her that she could type on and play games on. Any ideas?!

Tea Party

 
 
 
 

There's a new tea shop in town. Stacie and I took the girls to visit it. We had to dress up pretty and Maggie was so grown up there.Here's some more pictures. http://picasaweb.google.com/coleminer77/TeaParty

Now, back to grading papers.

Maggie's vocabulary

In the past few days, Maggie has spoken some pretty grown up words.

1. Constellation. She made a picture of a constellation. When asked about what it was, she said that it's a group of stars that come together to make a picture.

2. Incompotent. She has a myspace page and likes to leave messages for her friends.I type as she dictates. She was writing a message to James and told him that she loved him, but he was incompotent.

Yes, I spent too much time on this.
