Heading into the Shabbat...

Before we head into the Shabbat tomorrow evening, I wanted to tell you about our day and update on our plans for the weekend.

This morning we had a very quick, easy, and healthy breakfast! Jaden had Brown Cow Maple yogurt mixed with vanilla granola and some Emergen-C to drink. I had vanilla granola with peanut butter, a few chocolate chips, and some rice milk with Emergen-C to drink as well. I couldn't believe how long we went without feeling hungry! It definitely fills you up.

Today was very productive! I found a new blog that I'm *obsessed* with. So from there, I started making my meal plan for the week. I also plan to cook several dishes throughout next week to go directly into the freezer. I'm trying to get some old meat in there eaten and then fill my freezer with healthy, vegetarian and semi vegan foods! Because I've decided to change my diet from what it currently is, to a primarily vegetarian diet. I may eat meet occasionally, I may have bad days, so I'm going to remain open minded but my goal is to nearly fully eliminate meat. I also plan to be semi vegan. Basically, the only non vegan foods I plan to continue eating is yogurt, kefir, and some cheese. I don't expect to change overnight, but I have some goals and something to look forward to (weight loss!) so I look forward to what the future looks like....I'll keep you all updated!

After my list making, I got the kiddos ready and we went out and about. Davin quickly fell asleep so I picked up some horribly bad for me KFC. I then drove to a waterfront park and Jaden and I ate it in the front seat of the van, listening to Christmas music and watched the water hit the rocks in front of us. It was lovely! Afterwards, I let her go play on the playground. I watched from the car because Davin was still sleeping. She actually chatted up a couple of boys at the playground! Coming from an introverted little spirit, I was surprised but giddy to see her do such a thing. :)

We mostly lounged the rest of the day. I've been making Jaden forts to play in so that's been her new little obsession. I should take some pictures of that...

Tomorrow is a busy day- I will be grocery shopping and then coming home to make all the deserts and what not for Jaden's birthday party. I will also go to Walmart to pick up everything I need for the party. I'm also going to make something nice for dinner for Shabbat. I don't think we'll be getting our hands on any Challah this week since I won't be going to Olympia until Saturday for Jaden's party...Then on Sunday we will be at my FIL's house for football and dinner. Phew! Busy weekend. Enjoy yours! But before I go....

Can anyone who's familiar with Blogger let me know how to add images to a post without them being on top like my previous posts, or off to the side and funky? It seems my options are only above, or to either side! I want them below! Or maybe even below a paragraph, then a photo and then another paragraph and then another photo. How do I do that?

Thank you and God bless!
