Friday's random thoughts

It is friday and I don't have much exciting to say other than a bunch of random things floating around in my head

I am totally starting to lose my resolve for taking Izzy's binky by making her give it to the Easter Bunny, every time i say it to her she gets this AWFUL look on her face and I am terrified I am going to ruin the easter bunny for her....Is it that bad to let the kid keep her binky for a little longer????

We had an absolute blast Wednesday afternoon/night at our little waterpark get away. We went to a cheesy touristy town that is about an hour away, me Iz, my neighbor and her two girls Cara and Emma...these girls LOVE izzy and Izzy loves them. They swam in the pools (izzy used her life jacket for the first time and did pretty well with it. She isn't coordinated enough to know how to keep herself up right for very long so I pretty much still need to hold onto her but she didn't fight wearing it and hopefully she will continue to get it figured out.) The kids also played in teh arcade/indoor playground and then all snuggled up together to watch a dvd and fell asleep together. I will post pictures later...SO cute!!!

My brother is in town this week and I am happy. It has been since the fall since we have seen him and it just melts myself to see him with Iz. She took to him right away yesterday with no hesitation and was bringing him her toys and sitting on his lap. ADORABLE! He is in town til Wednesday so we will be trying to spend as much time as possible with him.

I was lazy this morning and should have gotten up to work out, but as soon as I got a txt from my workout buddy that she wasn't coming, I shut off my alarm and rolled over...........NOT good, i am kicking myself now but at the same time it felt really good to sleep in. I have to go tomorrow though b/c i have only been 2 days this week and one of those was just pilates. I have put on a pound since last week after my final four drinking/eat extravogansa weekend so I need to get back on track. I hate that it is that easy to put the weight back on and wish i could just eat/drink whatever I wanted.....urgh!!

We have a busy weekend of family gatherings this weekend but I am looking forward to it. Tomorrow night we have my families passover dinner, my favorite food of the year and then Sunday we are giogn to church and easter brunch with Dh's family. I can't wait to see Iz in her cute Easter dress i bought. I think my mother in law got her a Dora big wheel tricycle thing for easter so I am sure she is going to freak when she sees it. I am goign today after work to get the stuff for Izzy's easter basket (nothing like waiting till the last minute) I never celebrated easter as a kid so I am kinda excited to fill her basket with lots of goodies!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Easter to you all too!
Suggestion on the life jacket- we found these awesome floats (coastguard approved etc...) it is a swim belt with built in water wings- all thick foam. They had ladybugs and ducks. we got one last year for our little girl (found it at Wal-mart) and she LOVES it!! She can more easier in it and you don't have to worry about the tipping forward/ backwards etc...
Also I am right there with you on the binky! Although I have been better about only at nap / bedtime and this week he only got it at bedtime:) I would be afraid of running the Easter Bunny for her. Anyhoo good luck:)
