1. We have a date night tonight! We’re going out to eat and then going to see Dark Knight Rises. I’m so excited!
2. We watched the Olympic Opening Ceremonies last night. I am obsessed with the Olympics and the athletes and their stories. I specifically love gymnastics, beach volleyball, swimming, diving, and track and field. I just get so excited about everything. And I love reminiscing about past great Olympic moments. I can remember in 1992 and 1996 thinking that the Olympic gymnasts were just the greatest girls in the world!
I loved the opening ceremonies. I thought they did a great job of showing the British history and traditions with so much personality and heart. The musical montage was so much fun!
3. Having a potty-trained child is just the best thing in the world. I am so proud of him. Except we’ve struggled with naps because he is now potty-trained. I’m not sure if he’s not napping because he needs to go or what, but I think potty training killed nap time. Kind of like the way video killed the radio star.
4. We had the Skinny Taste zucchini boats for supper last night. Yum! I used half sausage and half organic beef because Todd doesn’t love the taste of sausage. I also added oregano and more garlic than it called for to make sure it had plenty of flavor. These were just delicious!
5. I have to confess that I have been such an exercise slacker since we went to my parents’ house. I haven’t set foot in the gym since we left to visit my parents on June 28. I feel like mush. Gross and bloated and gross. I got a text from my trainer today asking if I was ready to get back on schedule. I quickly replied with a big, “YES!” I’m ready. So starting Monday it’s on like Donkey Kong.
6. We still have one vacation left this summer and it’s a beach trip with my parents, my brother and his girlfriend. We’re all really excited to get away and have some good time together. And Hudson told me he’s excited about the lazy river!
7. Also- can we talk about the cuteness that’s happening with Mini Boden and their London-inspired shirts for boys?
So what about you? Have you seen Dark Knight Rises? Are you excited for the Olympics? Did you watch the Opening Ceremonies? What’s your favorite event? Feel free to send any gym motivation my way!
Yes, I loved the opening ceremonies. I thought it was one of the best that I’ve seen. I was obsessed with the 1996 Summer Olympics!
I’m looking forward to the mens swimming, gymnastics, volleyball and track.
Have a great weekend!
Yes! We watched the opening ceremonies last night and I was way impressed! I thought it was great and super creative! Happy weekend to you!
Dark Knight rises is AWESOME.
Just got back from an OLYMPIC Football {soccer} Game! It was SO amazing! The security was unreal and to see so many different nationalities was just INCREDIBLE! We saw Morocco vs Honduras and Spain vs Japan. BRILLIANT! My son also got to hold the Olympic torch when it was running through Scotland! He’s only 17 months old! It was a fun experience.
Saw The Dark Night Rises last weekend and it is probably the best film I’ve seen in years!! SO GOOD. I have a thing for Joseph Gordon-Levitt too. I actually want to see it again!
You’ve just convinced me to wait out the potty training. If he’s going to drop a nap, no way man! I love the naps!
The Dark Knight Rises is a great movie–a must go!
The opening ceremony was great! I loved the Lord of the Rings-esque old world England feel of it!
I can’t wait to watch gymnastics, track and swimming!!
I am OBSESSED with the Olympics! I love everything about it and watch it all. My favorites are gymnastics (women more, but I like the men too), swimming, track & field, beach volleyball, and soccer. It’s so fun to watch these people who have trained for so long compete!
Potty training killed nap time over here too for about 3 weeks. We are FINALLY settling into a routine and Kace is sleeping at least 2 hours. Kace isn’t the kind of kid that goes back to sleep after he uses the bathroom, either. Once he’s up, he’s up. I think I have figured just how much liquid he can have to ensure a decent nap. It might not be 3.5 hours every day but at least we are getting one.
i LOVED mary poppins entrance. and the fireworks were the best i’ve ever seen i do believe. enjoy your date night!
I blame you for showing me that Mini Boden cuteness. Somehow, I had missed it before this, and now, not only will I be dropping some change at Boden, but I will also be refraining from potty training my son until he is 4. Baahaaa. 🙂
Hope you’re have a great weekend!
Our one and only vacation is coming up soon! Family beach trip with my family and I couldn’t be more excited! I need to get back to the gym too – hopefully this week I can do it! Have a great week!
Glad to read your reviews of the Olympics – much more positive than Mitt Romneys !
i loved the opening ceremonies – especially Kenneth Branagh – his face during it, he was in awe and not acting. i also love mr bean…
I say, take all those athletes as inspiration to get back to the gym, you can do it!
I haven’t seen dark knight, we are so behind on movies just wait til its on netflix
I loved loved LOVED the opening ceremony! Particularly the children’s piece – Mary Poppins made me SO happy!
Gymnastics is my absolutely favorite!
i am dying to see the Dark Knight! Also, I need to get going on my fitness. It is so hard finding the time with Dell Harper though- during the week I want to be with her when I am home from work. Sigh. I like the opening ceremonies, except for the giant creepy baby. The parade of nations is my absolute favorite- especially with the fun upbeat music playing.
