We're not really planning anything special today. I have to clean because the MIL is coming, and I'm helping out at work tonight. Tomorrow will be better. DH is off and we're heading to the Blind Melon concert!!! Yesterday I scored at SuperWalmart. I normally don't shop there, but my first store of choice didn't have the Super Smash Brawl cheat guides. (Shhhh. Its an Easter present for DS12!) I found a mini trampoline on sale for $15!! I had been thinking of getting the boys something to bounce around on for exercise.
The legs screwed on pretty quick and DS9 says he really likes it. He's not coordinated enough to jump rope so this is the next best thing. He can bounce while watching TV or with a game controller in his hands.
We're trying to find more ways to get moving in our family. Our doctor recommended we take DS9 to see a nutritionist, but I found out its not covered by insurance. Obesity isn't covered but if he had diabetes, he'd be covered. That doesn't make any sense to me. You would think the insurance company would want to help us lose weight so we don't become diabetic!
I also found out seeing the speech therapist isn't going to be covered either. "Is his stuttering due to an injury or acute illness?" Are you kidding me? Not many people I know stutter because they've fallen down or have a virus.
Our library finds this past weekend- The 3 Hour Diet Cookbook by Jorge Cruise, Feed Your Family Right by Elisa Zied and Ruth Winter, The Art of Homemade Bread by Dan Lepard, Body The Complete Human by National Geographic, Athletic Fitness for Kids by Scott Lancaster and Radu Teodorescu, A Field Guide To Household Bugs by Joshua Abarbanel and Jeff Swimmer, and Star Wars Jedi Vs Sith The Essential Guide to the Force by Ryder Windham. I also checked out again, Mommy Millionaire by Kim Lavine.
Well, I better start cleaning. Hope you have a great St. Patrick's Day!

My kids are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Super Smash Brawl in the mail any day now. They ordered it at Amazon, and are learning a nice patience lesson in the meantime. Once it gets here, I hope they don't get too addicted!
Insurance, can't live with it, can't live without it. *sigh* I feel your pain.
Lá feile Padraig Sona Duit!
Love your picture there! I found FOUR 4-leaf clovers last year....hmmmmm...Will have to look again soon to see if I can find them again this year. :-D Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Yep, not covered. I needed one in order to gain weight. First thing she said was I charge $125. and insurance doesn't cover it. (this was 7 yrs ago). Just plain stupid. I'm in your corner on both issues. I'm sure your sons will like the trampoline. That sounds like so much fun - - as does your cleaning lol.
I totally understand the health insurance issues. My DS needs braces badly. We have dental ins but doesn't cover braces or the orthodonist visits. Trampolines look like fun. I'm clutzy so I know I'd probably fall off + break something. lol
