Exercise!

My sisters, Marie and Janelle, and I have been working together to lose weight. We track our calorie consumption and work out together. After having missed several days of working out, we finally popped in the dance aerobics and Pilates videos yesterday and did some serious exercising. We also listened to some music on the stereo and danced energetically with Zaylee. All in all we got about an hour and a half of exercise in, and it felt so great! Zaylee especially loved jumping around in the kitchen laughing maniacally as we boogied to energetic classical music. She loves it when us grown up people do silly things.

Anonymous said...: I'm so glad you decided to play tag with us! I love the opportunities that I get for fun excercise once in while, too. I'm thinking that (if the rain lets up) Maddi and I may walk (1 mi to the school, 2 mi round trip) to get Kellen this afternoon. Then I get to rock out to my iPod while I walk :) And I like your Pic of the Day. I enjoy seeing things that make me think a little. Thanks for sharing :); January 30, 2008 at 2:47 PM

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
