MIA...but I'm back

Wow, I have been MIA for a while... What have I been doing?  Well, with three kids the possibilities are endless. My husband had a birthday, and I made some really cool cupcakes, I found one Pinterest.  Has anyone read the article about the lawyer/pinterester who decided to delete all her boards, because she thought it was a violatioin of copyright laws? (Hello, run on sentence).  That got me a little worried, so I went through and modified my boards, and made sure the only things I had on it were ones that had working links, and were appropriatly credited.  Anyway, I digress.  My cupcakes turned out pretty good.  They were German Chocolate cupcakes with a twist.  I cut lids off of the tops of them, filled the German Chocolate icing in the middle of the cupcakes, and then on the top added chocolate frosting, with a glob of the German Chocolate icing in the center.  They turned out pretty good, but we didn't keep them around the house, I sent all the left overs to my husband's work.  Then I wasn't tempted to eat them.  I just love love love frosting.  Who cares about the cake?!!

My daughter and I went to the zoo one day.  I just love going to the zoo with her.  The zoo pass they offer at the Atlanta Zoo is a great buy.  I mean it is normally $109, but usually they will throw in 10 dollars off, making it $99.  With that you can get a whole years worth of zoo visits.  Which includes two adults and four kids (all kids 2 and under are free)!  So if I just put my name on the pass, then I can bring 1 adult with me, and it doesn't matter which adult.  Makes it just perfect for a play date at the zoo.  My zoo pass is up for renewal, and I am toying with getting one again, but I think I will.  Addy won't be in school full time just yet, so it is still a great time to purchase one. 
Really I don't have any other excuse, just been lazy! 

the flamingos were super cool that day!!

But I am linking up to Fit Club.  I don't have any numbers to share this week.  Although, I was feeling skinny today.  And I did try on my other jeans.  Proud to say they fit =), my 12s are starting to get roomy, which I love!!   It is getting to the point, that I really can't wear the 14s, because they are falling off.  YEAH! 
I did bring it the one week and got in 5 days of exercise, but this last week I only managed 4.  I am not sure what really happened, but stuff did.  However, I am still bringing it when I do my P90X workouts, because I am feeling them the next day.
On the one video they have you are working triceps, biceps and chest.  OMG!!  It is seriously so hard, and I remembered why I hadn't done it that much, lol.  The first exercise is just brutal.  The routine is chocked full of push ups, all kinds.  Anyway, the first one you do these slow push ups.  So with a slow count of four you go down, 1...2...3...4, and then up 1...2...3...4...  Seriously, you have to try them, even on your knees they are so super tough!!
I think with everyone's birthdays out of the way, I won't be having to fight icing and cupcakes!!  That should really help.  Going to work hard on the 5 days of exercise, and sticking with it!  Hope everyone else is still doing well.
