My Beautiful Princesses

Lately, I've been trying to work out again, especially on weekend mornings when we don't have to rush off anywhere. I can't say it's been going great, but I try, I really do. It's hard though because usually Matt sleeps in (he's been working the more than occasional night shift again) and I take the kids down to the basement with me, where they proceed to tear it apart. In the course of a workout that's just over an hour, they manage to make the basement look like they've been living down there for a week, or a tornado has gone through. Oh well, I try and tell myself, at least they're having fun. They do get some elaborate schemes going, Jaina is still, as ever, such a "director". The funniest was last weekend. I was running on my treadmill which is in a room just next to the main room where they were having a lovely time together. All of a sudden I hear a little voice announce, "Look Mommy, I pincess!" and I look over to see my little boy adorned in the beautiful, fancy, Snow White costume his big sister owns, and just beaming. Here he is with "Mulan". Aren't they pretty? He walked around in the dress up shoes for a while but had them off by the time I got back downstairs with the camera. And then I had to pause to see them dance and sing. Thought I'd share:




The next day he was a winged fairy, but I didn't have my camera. He also appears sometimes as a ballerina. Or a beach-goer, clothed in his sister's shorts and what is, according to her, "his favourite shirt" which is white and a pretty lime green and reads "I love ice cream." I hope later in life he is not going to blame my quest for fitness for any issues he may have??
