Lately, I have been trying to do some yoga dvd that I have. It doesn't work out very well with the girls fighting for my attention when I want to be exercising, but in the process, I have been able to get them to "do yoga" and they are proud to yell "Mom, I'm doing YOGA" in the middle of the different poses! I didn't get pics tonight because as they were doing yoga, Ryan and I were engaged in taking the ugly victorian border down! If ever you need to remove wallpaper or border, go to home depot and get DIF! rip the paper off, then roll on or spray this gel! wait a few minutes and use a scraper to remove the paste... works like a charm.
