M*O*M*M*Y needs C*O*F*F*E*E

Ok, so my title of this post is from a children's song by Ralph's World.....he really isn't too bad for childrens music. Anyway, Grace decided to wake up at 4am this morning so I am up. This is going to be a LONG day. Mike usually gets up at 4:30 for work anyway so I at least got to see him off.
Tomorrow is halloween and the kids are excited, even though we did a daytime trick or treating thing on Saturday. Dalton's school is doing a little parade and then a party tomorrow, then we will go trick or treating. After trick or treating we are going to stop by this guys house that Mike works with to check out his Haunted GraveYard that he sets up in his front yard. I do not think Grace will enjoy that too much, but we'll see how it goes.
I am really starting to get excited about this weekend. I am anxious about leaving the kids but I know they are in good hands with my mom so I need to relax about that. They will have fun and probably won't even notice we are gone.
Ok so my brain isn't functioning too well right now so that is all I am going to write.
Here is a picture of the kids in costume from Saturday for those of you that haven't seen it yet. And HAPPY HALLOWEEN in case I don't update tomorrow!

***Grace is a Bat Princess and Dalton is Speed Racer***

25 Pounds Lighter!

Well, actually 26!

I weighed in this morning and I lost another pound and a half and I am absolutly thrilled about it! I really didn't think I did as well as I could have-eating wise-this week. Oh it really does feel good. I really feel like I am on track this time around.
Thanks so much for all the encouragement!

I am halfway to my goal....It took me 4.5 months to get this far so we'll see if I can lose the next 25 by March!

just for fun

PICTURE COMPARISON

Ok haven't posted a photo in awhile so thought I'd do a comparison. I am wearing different clothes, but all the same, almost 25 pounds lighter, I just don't see a huge difference....but I know its there :)
