First 10k

Well Saturday was my first 10k.  I finished in 1 hour and 10 minutes.  I had fun and felt great crossing that finish line. Next year perhaps the half-marathon?? We'll have to see.

Snow Day

After the third big snow we've had this year (crazy for where we are) we played outside with the kids. By the way, Miss E, loves to throw snowballs. Mr L likes to build hills out of the snow. 

I liked this snowfall, everything was covered by a beautiful white blanket, but the roads, so far, are passable.  After playing in the snow, the kids took a bath, while I made chicken-n-dumplings.  We then watched a movie, and now the kids are in bed while Damon watches TV and I do homework. 

I'm looking forward to sleeping in a little bit tomorrow morning....

Weekend Report

Ahh, we had a nice weekend. Saturday was spent cleaning, got in a workout, and took the kids with my mom as backup to go grocery shopping at Walmart. Completely forgot several things we "wanted" not needed but Ijust wanted to look at. But the kids had a blast playing at McDonalds.  No four star restaurants here!

Sunday we all went to church and the sermon was very good. Also one of the ladies in our congregation signed a song. Within the first few moments I was trying not to blubber like a baby.  It was so beautiful. We then packed up some lunch and the kids and headed to the park to take advantage of a beautiful, sunny, 75 degree day before the cold weather comes again.  We had so much fun playing at the park. 

I had a meeting at church and then came back and was productive working on my reading assignment for this week. Is it rather bad, that it's taken me a month of being back in school to get back in the swing of things? I don't know this material really well, so it's a learning curve, plus with everyone being sick it's just been rather crazy at our house. 

Hope everyone has a Marvelous Monday and had a great weekend!

Our Exciting Life...

You know the days when you were single, or even before kids your nights consisted of going out and having fun with friends. Maybe drinking and staying out till all hours dancing.

Yeah...those days are a distant memory for me. Don't get me wrong, they were fun at the time, but now I have a whole new definition of fun.

My fun includes hanging out with my husband and kids. Last night I made dinner and worked around the house while Damon and the kids played. Then we watched Madagascar 2 and got the kids ready for bed. Damon went to a friends' house for some guy time and I finished the third book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. It was just hopping at our house last night!!

Then today - Miss E woke up some time during the night and wouldn't go back to sleep. I got up with her around 5:30. We laid on the couch and started a movie, I was out within ten minutes but I woke up a couple of hours later with Mr. L watching the movie we had started because it started over again. Miss E stayed asleep till around 10 o'clock! I cleaned our house because it really, really needs it. I'm now working on folding laundry and waiting for 3pm because I have to go to boot camp for our Challenge at the Fitness Center.  After that our exciting life continues when I head to the neighboring town to Walmart to get groceries.  Mom's coming with me to "herd" the kids. It gives Grandma some time with her little munchkins. 

Aww the times they are changing..especially after you have kids...
