So we go outside and decide to ride bikes. I have one of those great little baby seats on the back of my bike that my 2 year old had NEVER sat in...so today was the day. He has a helmet and everything. Pictures here would be hilarious, but lucky for me, I didn't think to take any - or have my child take one of how ridiculous I looked panting up and down the street. And that's how many times we made it, up and down the street. As in once. My legs were burning so bad - I blame it on my slightly fat as*, I mean flat tires...but the truth is, well, who wants to hear the truth. Let's move on. Needless to say, outside play time did not last very long. We all came in to the wonderful invention of A/C!! Which, while I'm on the subject, I should add that the upstairs unit decided to quit working sometime this afternoon. All the kids bedrooms are upstairs, and it's 80 something degrees up there now. Which is why----

I did do a little better at dinner time, sort of. I have read many things about sitting out a veggie tray while preparing dinner and kids will munch on it. Well, that happens to be true!! 

I'm aware that pickles can't really be counted, and cucumbers don't have much nutritional value - but I'll take it. We gotta start somewhere! Obviously I added some fruit here as well. My kids ate the whole tray!! Without a fattening salad dressing or dip - even though if that's the only way kids will eat it, I say let them have it. Just find a lower fat option of whatever they like. But after the vegetable tray I digress, the main course was chicken nuggets. NOT homemade. Tyson. And for me, I added a margarita, b/c nothing says processed chicken like Tequila. So...gotta work on that.
