Today was a great day...

•  We had a great day. It was a super way to spend some time together.

Today, I started out thinking I was crazy, I was waiting in the rain and cold wind to start a race.  I thought I was crazy, I thought I should run to my car.  Well,  today was the 4th 10K race I have ever run and my best time before today, which was last year was 1:01:45.  My goal has always been to run it in under an hour and today my time was 59:36!!!  I was so excited, I felt amazing.  I know in the real running world this is nothing everyone can do this.,BUT on this day it was something, I had never done it and I worked hard and pushed myself and I did it and I felt amazing.  I then came home and life was like normal :)  I had laundry and cleaning.  We played outside, we had a dance party, we ate outside.  It was the perfect day!!

Z-O-O

yes it is normal for D to wear her tiara!

The zoo opened in Lincoln.  Abby was so excited she ran all around.  She loves the penguins and has been asking to go to the zoo everytime we drive by for months.  We drive by twice a day it is on the way to Paige's school :)  Delaney wore her Tiara.  I did not encourage this, I just let them be and wear what they want, with in reason.  A full on crown would have been out of the question :) :) :)

Star of the Week

Abby was the star of the week at Preschool this week, she is holding her page of favorite things!  I thought Delaney would be upset that she was not the Star, her week is next week.  Delaney was so excited for Abby it was so cute and melted my heart.  I love them so much!!

Pink Pie Pony

This is a favorite toy of Delaney's that I got from a garage sale.  They girls went to bed and when I woke them up in the morning this is what Pink Pie looked like.

Why it is hard for moms to relax

So Friday night I thought I would do something I do not do very often and try to relax before Rob got home.  It was a beautiful night and I decided to pour myself a glass of wine and was going to go sit out on the deck.  Well, I poured a glass of wine and then I had to put it on the counter.  Yes the kids were still up.   They needed me and so I ran off to help save the day.

Disclaimer : I do have a glass of wine at night on occasion, I always wait until the kids go to bed before I do.  I will never again try to have a glass while they are awake.


I then saw the trash can full and forgetting about my wine on the counter went to take it outside.  I then heard yelling and screaming and ran back inside.  While I was outside Paige had spilled my wine all over the kitchen floor and the glass had broken.  She saw my phone laying in water (wine) and went to pick it up so it would not be damaged  (nice thought).  She stepped on the broken glass and cut her foot, pretty bad.  She was bleeding all over the kitchen floor.  I ran in saw the blood and ran to her her cutting my foot as well, not as bad.  While helping Paige, who can be a drama queen ( love her)  Abby ran and got the box of band-aids and threw them at us.  Then, while I was tending to Paige's wounds Abby and Delaney put the whole box of band- aids all over themsleves.

Ok Where were we, I was trying to relax, that did not happen.  Lesson learned 1.  I can not Relax or 2.  I need to buy plastic wine glasses


update:  Paige limped all day at school and told everyone the story, she was not even sure if she could run in PE, again all I wanted to go was try to relax??
