Road Trip

A few weeks ago the kids and I along with my friend Shelly and her 2 kids traveled to Springfield for a bit of kid fun and to watch our amazing runner friend Megan compete In a marathon.  We had a great trip including a visit to the science museum, bass pro shop, and lots of swimming at the hotel.  I think kids believe that anytime you stay In a hotel it is about as good as it gets.  There was lots of jumping on beds and squelling coming for our room, sorry for our neighbors.  We got up bright and early on Sunday morning to watch Megan run.  She is very brave because it was super cold.  The cold did not damped the enthusiasm of our cheering crew.  The kids were so impressed with the runners and loved cheering for everyone that ran by.  Megan came in 2nd with an impressive 2 hr 55min time.  I am always in awe of how effortlessly she makes running look.  We were super proud of Megan and grateful we had some sleepy travelers for the way home.  Way to go Megan!!

 

 

Summertime Sadness

I found this picture the other day as I was going through my camera and I had a immediate longing for summertime.  I am dying for tank tops, shades, and time off to relax with my family.  How many days till summer break?????

Halloween 2013

Again better late than never, my blogging has been on the back burner lately so I am going to try to catch up with a few posts.  Halloween has always been one of our favorite holidays but even more so that we have little ones to get in the spirit with us.  We looked a bit crazy as we all left for school on Halloween day with Briggs as a pilot, Harper as a kitty, Me as Taylor Swift, and Greg as Jack Frost from the guardians (sorry no pictures of the adults).  The kids had a blast at their school parties and did not lose steam as they headed home for more fun.  We went out Trick or Treating about 6:00 with Haddie and Hudson and a small entourage of adults to handle the kids.  Briggs and Harper got far more into the whole Trick or Treating action this year.  They practically ran from house to house collecting their treats.  We only made it about one square block before we were ready to head back and hand out some of our own candy.  Briggs loved being in charge of the handling of the candy and making sure that everyone got their fair share.  Such a fun night and so awesome to see the kids having such a great time. 

 

Hudson as the cutest banana ever!

 



Not a real photogenic bunch this year so the pictures are sparse. 

She was so proud to be a kitty and what a cute kitty she was.

The crew heading out for the first door.

 



So not excited to stop and smile for the camera.

 



I could not find our little kitty after we got back home until I found her by the back door with her bucket empty and tearing into candy as fast as she could.  Sneaky little kitty!
