Can It Be Any Colder?!

Man is it cold. I took a pile of kids to school this morning and it said -31 on my car thermometer. With the wind chill they say it is -41. Aren't you so excited Judy! You can hardly breathe when you go outside. I really need to go to Costco today but I don't know if I am brave enough or if I want to subject my kids to that. Life has been pretty much marching on as usual. I officially started LA Weight Loss again. I had to buy some new weeks because mine ran out, unused. That sucks but I want to get the weight off. So far it's been kind of slow. I'm down 3 pounds the first weeks so I guess that's not too bad. I did this clease for 2 days so I was expecting more. Oh well, I don't care how long it takes I'm just going to keep trying. I'm trying to get Erik to dring a bottle so I can ween him. I got a pump to feed him breastmilk in a bottle. This is what I've learned. He only likes breastmilk if it is in my breast. He throws the bottle if regular milk or formula is in it. He will drink a little of Erin's brand of formula in a sippy cup. He will chug anykind of juice in a bottle. Last night he went to sleep drinking a juice bottle. I felt like a bad mother. At least it was half water and he doesn't have any teeth to rot out of his head. This morning I made a warm milk bottle with some sugar in it. He didn't throw it but he didn't drink it either. Any suggestions you Moms out there? Sommer received her report card on Friday and it was good and not so good. Her reading is really starting to affect the other subjects. She is starting with a tutor tomorrow. We are really hoping that will help. I had pictures taken of the kids in the matching Christmas outfits. They turned out really well and I bought way too many. Oh well you can't have too many pictures of your kids right? Well I should go, Banff on Friday YaY!
