smoothies gone green

I am excited about green smoothies! They are delicious and the kiddos are drinking them which is a really big deal since I can't get Everett to even look at anything green with out him putting both hands over his mouth and acting as if I was just trying to poison. That kid is so weird! I put some kiwi in a fruit salad for dinner and he didn't even want it touching his grapes or cantaloupe. I don't know where he got that from because all three of us, (that is including Brock.) like our greens.




So as I was saying, I'm really excited about these little drinks and I feel like I'm doing something really healthy for myself and my family, right? I wake up, make breakfast for the fam and make a batch of our smoothie drink and I'm feelin' pretty good about myself until around 9 o'clock at night comes around and my sister and I are just hanging out, watching american idol and I get the urge to go on a "maverick" run. (Maverick is a gas station that has everything delicious and wonderful for you to eat but is oh so very bad for the body.) I ask Nickie what she wants me to bring her, and she says, just surprise me. So what do I bring home? Two over sized cups of frozen yogurt and two chocolate chip cookies, the size of my face! It's just like my uncle always says, "Once past the lips, goes straight to the hips. Thanks Uncle Dex!

*At least the day started out well.
