Week 5 weigh in in Life as a Mom of 2 boys.....and a girl!!

I can’t remember what my starting weight was on here but I’m going to go with the 214.6 I weighed in at on June 27th. Today is my week 5 weigh in and I’m down to 197.6 which is a loss of 17lbs so far! I’m pretty happy with that. I even experimented by doing about the same amount of exercise but eating a bit more calories most days this week and I still lost! Awesome! Who doesn’t love eating more? lol. My parents are taking us to dinner tonight and I want to try chicken fajitas at a new place in town. I will just limit the cheese and sour cream and try to load up the shells so I eat less of them :)

I finally bought the boys their bunk bed and mattresses several days ago and we’ve spent probably 3-4 hours working on them so far and they still aren’t ready! Mike gets so frustrated building stuff that he starts yelling sometimes and getting really mad. It’s the worst. We are very careful when we build stuff and follow the instructions super closely and yet we still managed to screw something up that we had to go back and fix. No idea how that even happened! I’d say we are about 80% done them now but they will still take over an hour I’d guess. The boys are soooooooo excited to sleep in them. I’m wondering what’s going to go wrong lol. I say this because Miles still sleeps in his crib and he tends to talk to himself for hours before falling asleep whereas Cody falls asleep right away. Plus, Cody will be on the top bunk and I can see him being a bit nervous about that even though he says now that he’ll love it. Luckily the beds can be 2 twin beds instead of bunk beds if that happens. Next we need to return the boys dressers which are those Ikea recall dressers and I have to find something new. Hopefully something inexpensive which we don’t need to build lol. In espresso to match the bunk beds. Not sure where to look for that. Oh and I need a dresser for the baby too since she currently shares hers with Miles.

I was sooooooooo excited to get the newest Harry Potter book in the mail on Tuesday! It’s a play though so it’s a quick read. I’m really enjoying it. I haven’t even read it for that long and I’m almost done it. I think I have 20 pages left. So sad :( Mike says it will inevitably be a movie and I’m like “It’s already a play and a published script! It’s not going to be a movie too!” I’m still shocked that a book (play) after the last book in the series exists!! And very appreciative :) I’m also eager to watch the “Fantastic Beasts and where to find them” movie in November. It takes place 70 years before Harry went to school but I don’t care cuz just the world of magic J.K. Rowling created is wonderful to see :)
