Weekends with Babies

What an outstanding long weekend!  Killian, Fiona, and I spent the time off from school playing, laughing, singing, and having a great time!  St. Patrick's day was this weekend, and we had "turkey tacos" (as the kids call them), which is a spinach wrap with turkey, cheese, and cucumbers.  We played at the park together.  We sang songs and danced around.  Overall, it was a much needed time together, as rehearsals for the opera are starting and my evenings will belong to that very soon.

So... I'm in love with pinterest!  I "pin" all kinds of great stuff and feel like I've accomplished something, or at least plan to accomplish something...  My current obsessions are teaching about nutrition, finding good projects to do with the kids this summer, and organizing my life.  I am hoping that with this new found idea organization system, I may actually follow through on a few things.

My current challenge is eating right.  I'm trying to do better, and I don't eat as much crap, but I just LOVE food!  I work out 4 hours per week instructing jazzercise, I stay within my points for Weight Watchers, and I still have only lost one pound in 3 weeks.  I guess a loss is better than a gain, though, so I will have to take it as a victory.

A discovery I made this weekend was the deliciousness that is kale chips.  So easy to make and so tasty!  I sprayed a baking sheet with olive oil, spread the torn up kale on the sheet, sprayed the kale, salted it, and popped it in the oven at about 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, moving the kale occasionally so it would crisp evenly.  DELICIOUS!  I highly recommend it.

Overall, it has been a fairly unproductive week.  I'm back on the cheer leading train, with tryout practices and getting ready to select next year's squad.  Let's go Knights!
