day 6

We are on day 5. Only 6 days left, getting closer to 5 and a half! As you can see, my kids have learned that when they get hungry they just find their own grub! I caught Topher in the peanut butter, and had to take a picture. I have been feeding him, I promise, I was just a little slow getting him some lunch today and so he decided to take it into his own hands. We are still doing okay-there have been some harder moments though. Last night I played Bunco (with the cutest, funniest girls anywhere) (*edit: excuse me amy simpson is the cutest, funniest girl anywhere, and I'm sorry that I made such a misrepresentation on this blog)and had a little bit of a hard time seeing the candy and not reaching into it out of habit. Your sense of smell gets lots better when you are fasting, and the smell of reeses pieces...yummmm. I made it through! I'm super excited that I am such a dummy though-We started this on the 9th-and it's a ten day fast, so I thought we had to end on the 19th. Chad reminded me though that I needed to count the 9th, so we actually end on the 18th. Yeah! That feels like it takes a whole day off, although I know it technically doesn't, I am glad to see that the day I have circled on the calendar is a day closer! This is the last weekend we have with Zach and Ryeleigh before our much anticipated trip to Utah! I don't know what we will do this weekend, but probably something fun. We'll see....
