Day at the Fair

Well after the girls night we spent our typical Monday together going to the Evergreen State Fair! It was alot of fun we got to watch a dog show and the logger show. we got a photo button (Tara has it) we did well on our point on that day as well. i got an ear of corn WITHOUT butter! Kristin got a BBQ beef sandwich and Tara a soft taco. we got the point values ahead of time from DWLZ.com so we were able to make smart choices and still have fair foods! we didn't go on any rides but Tara got to shoot a gun which she was excited for. the night end kind of in a sad way because mat and i has gotten into a fight and i was upset but i hung out with them till he got off work. we sat in the hot tub and ate "deLIGHTful" pizza from papa Murphy's. I'm so glad i have them there so when i start crying in the middle of the fair they know just how to make me smile!

girls night

well i had a busy busy weekend. Friday of course was my night with Kristin then mat and i went to dinner and a movie on saturday and then we had girls night on sunday! Girls night was so much fun! Kristin planned it so well and i even planned a fun activity for it! She has stations all set up for paticures and manicures and facials! we all brought low fat point friendly foods which really helped us with our diets!we kept to our diets by planning ahead. all three of us ate low point breakfasts and lunches as to save our points for the night. we grabbed a plate and counted the points for each food that went into our mouths and encouraged eachother not to over enduldge! i was just so proud of us b/c in the past we would crunble from our diet when we all got together. But anyways we had a great night making stress balls have a search a work contest whick laura won because she has a process... CHEATER! haha all our nails and toes looks fantasic and our faces were glowing! it was so much fun to have all of use together. we laughed and talked and laughed some more! what more could you really ask for in a girls night?

Movie review: Journey to the Center of the Earth

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Mat and i had a great date night on Saturday and went and saw Journey of the center of the earth. It was such a fun movie! it is made in 3D but is only played in 3D at select movie theatres so we weren't able to see it in 3D which i am sure would be would have made it ten times better. But never the less the movie was great! i didn't really know what to expect but i was on the edge of my seat the whole time. you can ask mat i grabbed his arm more then a few times during the movie. It is such a fun story about an scientist uncle and his nephew discovers the kids missing for 10 years dads (the scientist brother) notes in the book a journey to the center of the earth and they go to invest them. They get into a few mishaps while exploring and end up stuck in the center of the earth. The images and characters they create in this movie really is jaw dropping! i really would love to watch it again in 3D!!!

Birthday Gift # 4

Well Friday was my birthday day from Kristin. Our original plan was to hang just the two of us going to the Bellevue Art Museum then a Pic Nic then a craft and movies. It only changed just slightly when we learned that Kristin would have to watch her niece that day. So we decided to watch Sisterhood of the traveling pants. which i think was a better idea then the art museum because i really really really wanted to see that movie and i was convinced that i wasn't going to be able to see it. Then after the movie we headed back to Kristin's house and had a lovely pic nic next to the pool. we let her niece swim in the pool with her clothes on which really made her excited! after that we headed back indoors to bake some peanut butter cookies with Hersey kisses in the middle (this was my one day where i didn't count points but we didn't let ourselves go crazy because we didn't want to gain back the weight we had lost already) anyways it was a fun for us all to make the cookies. While they were baking her niece and i made fun videos of us dancing and that got her dancing for the rest of the day! after the cookies we just hung out till Taylor's mom came and picked her up and then it was our time! We headed to the store to pick up our pizza and snacks for the night. When we arrived back home Kristin reveled to me the craft projects that we had planned. We decorated canvas bags and painted light plate switches. Her bag turned out way better then mine because i lost all my inspiration once my iron on transfers didn't come out like i expected. But my light switch plate turned out pretty great! i painted it with a zebra pattern, my newest obsession! the rest of the night we just hung out and watched random u-tube videos and TV-shows and laughed. it was really great to hang out the two of us. This is what my idea for my birthday present ideas was all about: hanging out with my friends one on one and getting to connect again with each other!

Movie Review: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

I went to go watch this movie with Kristin on my birthday-day (blog about that to come) This movie was pretty great. Better than the first if i do say so myself! It is an amazing story about four friends who feel like they are growing apart as they grow up in college and become adults. On their summer break they each go their separate ways and encounter things that change them forever. If thought this movie was really well done and although they skipped books 2 and 3 they did a great job at catching us up with the characters. This movie made me feel all warm a fuzzy inside and i was glad that i was able to watch it with Kristin! it is only every once in a while when i get to see a good chick flick. only down side was that her seven year old niece was there and she got bored and was talking too loud and the couple behind us had a baby that toward the end was getting a bit fussy but i was able to get into the movie enough to cry. i recommend all women/girls go see it with their best friends!
