My Personal Trainer

Snuggling in bed with my boys this morning, I'm laying on my side and they start poking at my stomach.

Nick: Hey, why is your tummy so big?
Me: You guys stretched it out, you were such big babies (they really were: 9lbs, 9.6 and 10)
Nick: Oh, so when your tummy is like this, do you think of us?
Me: Yes I think of you when I look at my fat tummy. But that's why I've been going to the gym, to make it smaller.

I roll to my back, gravity works its miracle.

Nick: Hey! It's all flat now! Maybe when you go to the gym, you should just lay on your back.

That kid is great! I wish that worked for me right now, no such luck in the flat tummy dept.

That's too cute! I love when you take pictures of your kids in your house, it looks so fabulous, and I love yellow! We painted our dining room yellow in MD, the same color you had, I don't know if you remember. We weren't smart enough to write it down and when we moved to FL we tried to recreate it. Ron just repainted this week, because the first choice was just too bright. I almost called you because you are so organized and "martha-ey" over there that I know you know what color yellow it was! Anyway, it looks pretty good now, but I was just thinking of you and your lovely yellow as I type this in my yellow dining room! We miss you guys and hope all is well!
ps-I'm totally behind about spreading the word, but we are having #3 in June. My belly may never recover, but I am glad they've been less than 9 #. I don't know how you did that! Oh, and it's a boy.

Hey Andrea,
So I"m using a friends computer and just noticed it says Dave and Robin. Sorry, it's Sarah Knight. Not to be totally confusing!

Too funny. Just tonight I told Max to remind mommy before we eat breakfast in the morning that she needs to exercise! Perhaps his motivation will help!

Awesome, so next time I run into a previous high school crush, Ill just hurry, stop what I am doing and lay down! I might look insane but I will look skinny! Priorities right? Great idea, thanks Nick!!!
