athletically speaking.

even though we have good weather year round, i get excited for summer months because [with the minis out of school] we can stray from our normal routines. i'm looking forward to getting outdoors, exercising, and eating healthy. mini-she just finished her track & field season at school, and i've been encouraging her to continue her workouts at home. mini-he will need a little more convincing. he just got his first pair of athletic shoes, "just like mom's"...hopefully that keeps him interested. 

there's been a lot of hype over "green" smoothies, so i've been browsing for some recipes to try. i love to eat my fruits and veggies, and given the choice between a spinach salad or a spinach smoothie, i'd probably choose the salad. luckily, my kids have no problem eating their fruits and veggies either. but, i am curious and want to know if you really can't taste the greens.

my mom makes carrot/fruit juice, and i CAN taste the carrots.

where do you stand on this?

do you prefer to eat or drink your veggies?

another polish from butter london's nude collection. as with most

opaque polishes, this one was really difficult to apply. even with a base coat, two coats of polish, and a top coat, the polish

chipped after a couple of days. i like the color, though.

casual sunday.

april is shaping up to be just as busy as march.

we attended a party at the zoo this past weekend and also celebrated a family birthday (90 yrs old!). next weekend, i'll be participating in our local march for babies walk. you can visit my page here to read more about this cause and/or to donate if you wish. mini-she has a school banquet the following weekend, and i'm hoping to meet up with jackie when she comes to town the last weekend of this month. aand, let's not forget mini-he's

birthday coming up on the 16th.

i last wore these pants to a school reunion. this time i dressed them down by rolling 'em up and pairing them with flats. and to add depth to this outfit, i threw on my green jacket.

started off the day with mini-he's flag football game...

he pulled one flag, and there was no running involved. he just happened to be standing next to the kid with the ball!

we cooled down after the game by playing in the sprinkler.

then had lunch...butterfish bento.

and before we knew it, it was time for a birthday dinner

with family. who wants to ride with us?

mini-she bought these heart earrings for me (fundraiser at

school, $1); told me they were an early mother's day present.

when is mother's day?? haha.
