The kids have MEA break (also called Fall break around here) this week. They have Wednesday – Friday off, giving them a FIVE day weekend!  Unfortunately I still teach this week so it’s not really going to be exciting for them, but it’s still a nice change of pace.  Tomorrow morning I have BSF so the two older kids get to go and play at a friends house, so that will be fun at least!

In other news Josiah lost his first top front tooth!  He has a nice big window when he smiles now.  It’s fun.  🙂  A childhood milestone.  It was pretty funny because I had no idea it was even loose.  On the way to the bus stop he mentioned that it was loose and I felt it and exclaimed “Wow!  You could probably just pull it out right now!” And sure enough it fell out at lunch while he was eating a strawberry.

We’re having family pictures taken this weekend.  I’m excited.  I always love the pictures that my friend Tara takes.  And I love them more and more as the kids get older and it captures them so well at the age they are.  Hopefully we’ll have great weather!

21 Day Fix Update: Day 9 almost done!  I admit I’ve been hungrier lately.  Probably because my body is starting to build muscle and burn more calories–or at least that’s what I’m telling myself when I’m hungry.  Last night was hard, so I just drank some water and went to bed early.  🙂  I’ve been having a salad at lunch most days and I’ve been able to cut back on the amount of salad dressing that I use, and I really don’t miss it.  I was surprised at how a little can go a long way.  I did go for a walk plus do my workout (arms today!).
