Vacation Fun!

Hello again!

Sorry it has been awhile.  In case you didn't know.  We are on Spring Break this week.  This is the only real full week I take off each year.  So I am ready for some relaxing and fun.  Since, we are on a tight budget we weren't able to go on a big trip.  Momma needs a new roof.  Kids were bummed but you do what you have to do.  But, I think we have been creative and have had fun so far.  We still have big plans for the rest of the week. 

Like all good things we had to start our vacation with some ice cream.  In case you don't know me well.  I require a lot of ice cream.  I have raised my daughter to require a lot too.  Because she is the one that persuaded us to go for this trip. 

This is what I choose to treat myself.  Nothing like a good old fashioned ice cream.  You will learn that this is why I run.  So that I can eat all these great treats.  I have a serious sweet tooth.

Here is Bethany enjoying her ice cream.  See I told you I would work on the taking more pictures this week!! : )

The next event was April Fools Day!  We have to love this holiday because we are all fools around here!  Ed and I went and did some shopping on Saturday.  We picked up some things to play a trick on the kids.  Another way that Bethany is just like me is that she has to eat often.  We eat ever two hours.  I was a preemie when I was born.  My Mom had to feed me every two hours.  I still eat every two hours!  It drives Ed nuts!!  Food is one thing you don't mess with for us Young girls!  So, we knew trying something new would drive her nuts!!  Not just new but healthy!  If it is green or grows in nature my kids don't want anything to do with it.  (They get that from Ed!) 

Because I love Pinterest!  I found some food you can make to fool them.  I chose sushi.  One I knew they wouldn't like it and two it was super easy to make.  We took a twinkie and cut it into small sections.  When then wrapped it in green fruit roll ups.  We then garnished it with red fruit roll ups.  Here is what it looked like.

Doesn't itlook real!!  I could not stop laughing!!  I knew they would be so mad about trying something new.  I called them to the table and explained that we were trying something new.  I found the recipe in a fitness magazine.  I thought they might like it.  The whole time I'm trying not to bust up laughing!!  Here is they reactions!!

They were good sports!!  They tried it.  But, quickly discovered what it really was.  So they we got them some real lunch.  Bethany insisted on McDonald's.  (The reason why they don't like any vegetables) 

That was the first couple days of our vacation.  There were a couple of naps in there and a couponing run.  Which I scored some major deals!  I'm trying to stock up on things for Bethany's Big 13th Birthday party coming up soon!!

More adventures to come on our Vacation week!!  We may even venture our of town.  Who knows! We are free to do anything this week! ; )

No workouts the first couple of days on vacation.  More to come on that!  Starting Wednesday, I'll kick it into high gear.  Well, at least medium gear!!

Hope everyone is enjoying your week!!
