As a stay at home mom I can get really tired of not leaving the house. Sometimes I have the car and then I try and pack as much as I can into the day and it ends up feeling to full and I have to deal with cranky kids.
I am super pumped about my week ahead of me. Today is a house cleaning day, dishes need to be done, the bathroom needs cleaning and the basement. On Tuesday I have the car, I have a meeting with the Kindergarten teacher at the last school in our district and I have my Body Jam class in the evening. Wednesday My brother is moving in with us, we are super pumped about that. Also on Wednesday I have my Body Combat class in the evening.
Thursday I am at home and Friday we have our small group meeting in the evening.
I know this must be a boring post but it feels great to have something to look forward to during the week.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.

The new class
I have spent the last 6 months trying to revise my eating habits and how much I work out. In November it was recommended by the doctor that I stop eating wheat, anything with Gluten and starchy foods. I was told to go on this diet to see if it makes my I.B.S any better.
Let me tell you I feel like a new person, my stomach used to look like I was 5 months pregnant everyday ( no, I am NOT joking) and I had the worse stomach pain.
I know have a smaller stomach with just a little baby flab. I also started biking in December every night for 1 hour, I lost 15 pounds by the end of February.
I stopped biking the end of February due to physical and emotional circumstances and have been trying to get back to doing physical exercise.
Well, I did it I joined a womens gym called Goodlife. I do a couple classes they offer one is called Body Jam and I love it. It is high energy dancing for an hour, anything for Salsa to Hip Hop to Line dancing with tons of pelvic thrusting and bumping and grinding ( SO fun). So yeah for me and now that everyone knows I can't slack off, time to shed some of my excess body fat.
1 st time on the Gondola in Baniff
a couple weeks ago after an especially long and hard week Evan and I decided to take the kids to Baniff on a Sunday afternoon. When we got there we discovered that it was a lot cooler in Baniff then it was in Calgary, and Evan and I were only in Spring Jackets, we brought the kids winter jackets.
Instead of taking a couple hours to hike some of the path ways we paid the HIGH price to ride the Gondola. I have to say that it was the best money we have spent on our family in a long time.
It takes about 10 minutes to get up to the top of the mountain and then you need to get out. We spent time walking around the store at the top of the mountain and walking outside on the walk way. The outside walk was awesome but we only lasted about 10 minutes before being to cold.
after spending about 1 hour with the Gondola we drove back into Baniff and took the kids to the candy shop. We love the candy shop there, it is filled with candy and only candy.
After our kids had picked some candy we spent about 1 1/2 hrs walking around the main street. Baniff has the best stores, we wouldn't be able to afford things but it is great just to look around.
Update on our school situation: I have yet to chose a kindergarten school for Emmanuel. I still haven't had an opportunity to see the last school in our zone, but I am leaning toward the Catholic school. I am hoping to be able to get to the other school later this week and I will make a more informed decision.
I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend and is enjoying the warmer weather.
