The Mighty M Family

Last weekend I let my kids go through the big Target toy ad and circle all the things they thought they might want for Christmas. I used to love doing this when I was a kid: barbies, dolls, kitchen toys, stuffed animals, games…so many toys to circle. However, I am again reminded how times have changed.  Hannah did not really circle ANY toys.  Instead: Cell phones, iPads, and iPods, oh my! And she is dying for a car she can "drive". Not sure Santa is going to deliver any of this stuff this year. Santa thinks she should slow down and play with toys just a little bit longer.

. Belt promotions. Boating. Celebrating.

Last weekend it was nice enough for a little outside time, and we decided Hannah was ready for a bigger bike.  So Mickey pulled Macy’s old bike out of the shed and away she went.  Now we just need to get used to having Eli on a bike with pedals instead of his balance bike.  “Don’t let go, dad!!!”.

1) “How long is this AMRAP?” 2) “I need to file down my calluses!” 3) “FRAN kicked my butt today!” 4) “What’s the WOD?” 5) “DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE!” 6) “You are supposed to BAKE your shoes?” 7) “Check out these awesome bruises!” 8) “This is my box.” 9) “Nice snatch!”  10) “It’s a burpee kind of day!”

1. “There’s no way I can stay awake for a show that starts at 10!” 2. “These brussels sprouts are delicious!” 3.  “I really like the bouquet on this wine.” 4. “Do you know how many trans fats that has????” 5.  “Coffee.  Lots of coffee”.  6. “I’m functioning on 4 hours of sleep!” 7.  “Wow, those college kids sure look young!” 8.  “Is that Paleo?  Is that Vegan?  Is that Vegetarian?  Is that low carb?  Is that dairy free?….etc.” 9. “Too. Much. Wine.” 10. “I feel so much better when I work out.”
