Healthy

I'm trying.

Despite the fact that I have desert every night.

Not even kidding.

But I'm really trying to raise my kiddos healthily.

So this WILW, I'm lovin' a little Jillian Michaels tush-kickin'.

El jumped right on that.

She's a yogi-jedi-master.

This guy, he just watched.

It's okay. He looks cute doin' it.

And he wore a Nike shirt in support.

But back on the healthy train of thought, I feed my children vegetables.

That's healthy.

And I feel like a good mom doin' it.

And, Lord knows, us mommas need to feel like good moms at least sometimes!

Truly, though, I'm lovin' these TJ dried green beans.

I've been trying to sell El on them.

She just likes to suck the salt off.

Not quite sure what that does to the nutritional value.

He thinks that's funny.

Just you wait, buddy.

The healthy green things? They're comin' your way soon enough.

And two more lovin's from me this Wednesday?

Lovin' these first impressions from students the other night.

They were serious and straight-faced during the entire exchange.

1. Me: "Oh, I see you have a rabbits foot necklace, is it lucky?"

Little Girl, nervous but excited to share: "Why, I believe so."

Me: "Really?"

Little Girl, thinking for a moment: "Well, I walked through a thistle patch and I didn't get any thistles so I supppose it must be."

2. Me: "Oh, I'm so glad you're in my class! I remember your older sister!"

Little Boy, very serious: "Oh, but I'm nothing like my big sister."

Me: "Really? What do you mean?"

Little Boy in a quite matter-of-fact manner: "Well, I like raw spinach."

Well, I guess that's healthy.
