Great weekend

Friday, Saturday, and today have been some pretty great day. Jesus Fest was going on here in town all weekend and I had today off... Those two things are a great combo!

Friday Seventh Day Slumber played at 5:30pm, so the two little ones and I walked up about 5ish. I got the kids some dinner and junk food while we waited. One of the stage crew who was staying at the hotel remembered me from the desk and came over to talk, he said the bands bus broke down on their way in and they would be going on late. So we walked around some more till they went on. As always they put on a great show & had a wonderful testimony. We left right after they were done because Richard is cutting teeth so he was super cranky & Emm went with aunt Shell to see a movie. They watched Dolphin Tales, you should have heard Emm trying to tell me all about it!

Miranda the cat & Emm the tiger!
On Saturday I worked till 3 and KJ52 was schedule to perform at 9pm so I took Miranda and Emily up to the festivities about 7pm. Miranda had 8 bucks to spend so she wanted to shop! Her & Emm both got their faces painted and a bag of cotton candy. KJ was great, the girls loved his music & danced all over the streets.


Emm & Landon found a new
friend at Sonic.
Today I slept in till almost 8 so I had to quickly hop in the shower and get the kids ready for church. My sister Michelle went with us today so I wasn't as stressed as the week before. After church was over I picked up Landon from his dads house then picked up my youngest bff Madison...if you ask the kids her name they would say Aunt Moo Moo. We headed to Morgantown for lunch at Sonic and ... Yep you guessed it Sweet Frog! It's beginning to become a weekly habit. This is our 4 week, holding strong! It was Madisons first time at either place.
 
By the time we for home Joel was getting ready for work. He looked shocked when he saw me walk in and later told me that he thought I looked really good today! That made me glow! Anyways after he left the kids and I ordered pizza for a picnic and listened to the closing performances at Jesus Fest from our back yard.

While the kids played
outside I built a bomb fire
and enjoyed the nice
cooler weather!

Another thing that added to the greatness off this weekend was that even after my huge binge on Friday I did a pretty good job staying on track. After my nutella high Friday I pushed the kids to and from the festival and stood the whole time since standing burns more calories then sitting. Saturday I walked and carried 32 extra pounds Emily home from Jesus Fest...Tonight I picked up the back yard and did my 20 minutes of yard work. So far so good on my list I posted the other day. The only thing I messed up on was the less carbs and no coffee after 6pm.

It is so easy to be motivated to lose the weight but once its off it is even more easy to get too comfortable. I feel like this "set back" as I have been calling it, has worked out for the better. I have gained a new since of control with my list that will hopefully continue long term.
