A baby hat this time. I'm currently knitting matching mittens...

Edited: removed pictures, I forgot that I wasn't supposed to share pics until it's published and I don't know how to remove a post.

Biggest Loser - Week 1

Wow, I can't believe it, wonderful week and I am week 1's winner! :D

This week's weight: 83.0 kg
Last week's weight : 85.5 kg
Weight loss since last week: 2.5 kg

Starting weight: 85.5 kg
Weight loss since beginning: 2.5 kg

Goal for the competition: 82 kg

I must say that last week's weight really surprised me (not in a good way), I think it was really inflated for some reason unknown of me. I have never before lost so much in one week, so I'm not expecting another week like this. Still, already got half of my entry money back, motivating!

Green Group Parent/Child Party at Kindergarten

Every year the Kindergarten organises a parent/child evening in each group. On Friday, we had the one for the green group, which is Connor's group.

Everybody brought some food to eat together and the teachers had organised several activities.

There was a conker race, dressed in... actually, I'm not sure what it was supposed to be! ;)

Tim and Connor raced against each other

Here you can actually see the conker falling

Another activity was to create an autumn "piece" with natural material.

Logan made a deer with acorns

Connor's was a joint effort ;)

Dragon

Finally, we carved pumpkins. When I say we, I did Connor's and Tim did Logan's!

Connor's, just finished

Posing with it

Most of the pumpkins made by the kids (humm, parents)

Logan's

Connor's lit

And Logan's (two-sided)

A New Biggest Loser Competition

I have found 10 people to take part in a 10-week competition with me in the style of "The Biggest Loser". We all started weighing in on Tuesday and will do so weekly for 10 weeks. There is a weekly pot for the person who loses the most weight (in percentage of body weight) for that week and a final pot for the overall winner: the person who loses the most over the course of the competition (still in percentage).

So, here goes my first weigh in:

06/10/09: 85.5 kg

Goal for the competition: 82 kg
