Measurements


Tonight Abby was using a string to measure stuff, namely the width of my arms. When finished she informed me, "Mom, your arms are bigger than Dad's." I murmured that maybe it was because I was wearing a bulky sweatshirt. She promptly went to re-measure. "Nope," she assured, mine were just bigger. Boy was I thankful to have that helpful and uplifting piece of information. Pilates anyone?

I do still have that pilates tape of Annie's... Which nights are your 'girls nights' again?

Did you know that the length of your arm from elbow to wrist is the length of your foot?
Love you, Cliff Claven

Cool! If I'm ever shoe shopping without my feet, I'll know what size to get...

You guys crack me up.

V, I still have a pilates video of Annie's also. Tried it one time. Kiddos insisted on joining in. They all needed room to spread out their arms, so I got the spot scrunched up next to the ottoman. And Nathan laid right on top of me. Worked really well.

Wade's schedule is changing this week so I'm not sure about a night off yet...

Have you been eating too many of Abby's "yummy" easy bake cookies?!?!

Kara Jo said...

yes, that's it! We actually made some "real" ones in there, too. Worked well!

Isn't it nice how brutally honest kids can be sometimes? Tell her your arms are strong so they can hold her and keep her safe.

Nicole, good answer. I'll try that one!
