BUSY....BUSY.....BUSY

It seems like these last few weeks have been super busy....between D's schedule and my schedule...it feels like we are just passing each other by....one of us walks in the door and the other walks out....crazy. D is finally done with Middle School Track and has started to do projects around the house....He went out this past weekend to buy 5 rather large trees to plant...we are looking forward in having some bigger trees in our backyard. K has been having fun with the little boy next door to us. The two of them LOVE to play outdoors! Between all of his backyard stuff and our backyard stuff (including the trampoline), they have been having a blast! We went to a Memorial Day parade this year and K came home with lots of candy and junk! E had her first lollipop ever...during the parade someone walking in the parade had given E a dum dum and before we knew it, she had the wrapper off and it was in her mouth...needless to say..she was a sticky mess. E also somehow got her hands on some smarties as well...came walking out of K's bedroom with them in her hand...try taking those away from an almost 2 year old...I let her have the 2 that were in her hand but boy can she throw a fit....some other things that we have been up to is trying to get rid of things that are just sitting in our garage and basement. With my brother-in-law moved out (we miss you uncle T), we have taken over the basement. D and I moved our bed downstairs with the kiddos upstairs, and have been trying to purge our collection of stuff....or as D would say..my collection of stuff....it is not fun to look at all your stuff that you have accumulated and realize...what was I thinking when I saved that...D is almost done with school...just about 1 1/2 weeks left and then we will be in full mode of spring cleaning...

Running a 5K

Ok...so last year I ran in this huge 5K race. I decided to do it again this year. I ran really well for not really training. My time was 27:07....over a minute faster than last year! I was 24th out of 384 in my age group bracket....It was fun...but next year if they have the 10K again, I think that I will run that one...so back to running again....My neighbors have been running as well so it has been fun chatting with them about times and such...I will admit that I am fairly slow but getting out to run has been my favorite form of exercise so far....

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. I had a nice and relaxing time with my girls....we haven't been up to too much...K has her Ballet program next week...pictures to come....and we have been busy with her practices. E has been a happy girl despite her cutting more teeth...she dances hilariously...I'll have to get it on video and post it.....D has been doing middle school track as well...it's almost done....

Mom's Tea

K had a little mom's tea at her preschool with a program and here she is "acting" out the story of "Are you my mother?"...she was so cute! we had a great time.

Backyardigan's LIVE

K and I had a chance to go and see the Backyardigan's LIVE near us. We had a great time...she went with her friend S and her mom.









Here is K and her friend S as they pose for pictures with their treasures.....










Here they are in their seats....





....and here are the Backyardigan's...oh they had a fabulous time...K and S were given a star wand that lights up from S's grandma....and K had to sleep with it that night. She loved to go and see them and promptly asked on the way home from the show if we were going to go the next night....well...she was a little disappointed to find out that she wasn't going to go but was satisfied that she could watch them on tv......

Fun with Grandpa

It was Grandpa's Birthday and we decided to surprise him....here are a few pictures from that wonderful weekend.



Here is K hiding in a box pretending to be a delivery.....shhhh.....
