April Fool's

Our kids thoroughly enjoy April Fools Day. I heard, "Mom, you have a spider (tree, house, bird, etc....) on your head" repeatedly all day! We have a family tradition of wearing funny hats to dinner and eating a surprise dinner. I think this year the kids had the most fun of any year yet!

We made a whole tray of the 'fish sticks' for Bekah to take to Achievement Days that night and they were a huge hit!





I started teaching at a new gym here in Westford called Boost Fitness and last Monday I was offered the job of Group Exercise Director. I was very excited, though it is going to be a lot of work too! We took a Group Power training over the weekend and it was very intense. Four of these instructors are brand new to Group Exercise and it is now my job to train them and get them ready to teach... no pressure!

You should post what those things 'actually' were - I need some ideas for future years to come. You are such a fun mom! Good luck with training all those people :)

Hi! Don't know if you remember me, but we were stationed in Minot with you. Congrats on the new job. I remember you instructing...no, not just instructing, actually doing, yoga in Minot while you were 9 months pregnant. You are so awesome. I'm glad I found your blog (on Denays page)
