Yee Haw!  That’s what my now six year old was saying last night wearing the outfit you see pictured above.  She turned six years old today and she is SOOOO excited about it being her birthday.  I woke her up with the usual hugs and kisses and sang Happy Birthday to her.  She was all cheesy about it!  She told me today was a very special day because not only was it her birthday, but her “concert” was tonight as well.  This is the reason for the farm outfit - it’s her costume for tonight’s concert.  My husband and I are looking forward to it because she has been talking about the concert for so long.  We were told she had to be in farm clothes, and she was ADAMANT as to what her outfit should be - right from the top of her head down to her feet.  LOL!  I had a great time shopping with her for her clothes.  She picked the complete outfit on her own.

Her party is on Saturday - major food fest, but I know I can handle it.  My mom is catering it for me - LOL!  She’s a great cook and there will be a lot of Puerto Rican cuisine.  But I am also providing healthy alternatives, so it will be a nice mix and I think I’ll get through it okay.

On the weight loss front, I’m doing good.  Staying on plan, getting that water in (my biggest challenge).  I’m not exercising - STILL.  But I am getting some walks in here and there.  My husband and I went for a leisurely walk last night at a park near our house.  It was a beautiful evening - the stars were brilliant, the temperature was probably in the  70’s and a gentle breeze was blowing so it was a very nice walk.  I love those quiet times together - just walking and listening to the sounds of our voices in animated conversation without the interruption of kids.  Not that I mind my kids interrupting - LOVE THEM and would rather hear them than not.  But it’s nice to have that one on one time with the husband.

Hope everyone is having a great day, and thanks for stopping by.
