1. Tuesday has also become know as Track Tuesday around here. Slithering our bodies underneath the fence to get access to the high school track in the wee hours of the morning, all in the name to gain some speed in our running pace. I can't say I am ever eager for these workouts, but afterwards, I am always quite satisfied. Bolting your body as fast as it can go for distances at a time..in my case, 0.25miles, sounds durable, until it's actually time to do so. Then the track seems forever long. I do hope that soon the weather will become a bit milder..80 degrees with 85% humidity, even at 5 am, is a bit rough.
2. Speaking of running, I ran an all time high on Sunday...8.5 miles. And if I count the 5.5 miles I did this morning, I am past that half marathon mark...it counts right? Ha.. In all seriousness, I was delighted to hit that high number and I would of never thought I could of ever seen the day. Goes to show each of us that we never know what can be accomplished unless we try! And I am even so much more excited that I think my coach has figured out how to solve all my GI issues with running, because with added hydration supplements, my stomach felt completely 100% after both Sunday's and today's run...and that is seriously remarkable!! No more stomach ick feelings for several hours after a run...wowie, I am so excited!!
3. Well..the kids did it! Makenna Claire happily and eagerly leaves her lovey, Alfie, in her room without even a prompt and Rylan has easily given up his pacifier except for sleep. Whew..and it really wasn't that difficult!
4. With this hot summer, I had no choice but trying to change Rylan's nap routine. For I don't know how long..he has slept in his car seat in the car with things to help him keep cool or warm depending on the season. But it was just getting too hot to do this anymore. So inside he stayed. This was much more difficult than his pacifier, but I am happy to say that at least most days he is taking a decent nap in his crib now. Woot!
5. Yesterday, the kids and I went to the local water park. Makenna was working on her freestyle arms so intently and showing me all her swimming skills with such confidence. You go MC!
6. MC starts school 3 weeks from tomorrow. How is that even possible?
7. #1-6 were written for Ten on Tuesday, on Tuesday. And then life took over. Sippy cups needed be filled. Dinner cooked. Babies washed and put to bed. And then I went out to meet some Momma's at a local restaurant for drinks and to talk about mom's club stuff. Storm rolls in, tornado sirens roared, rounds of (free) Blue Moon drinks were served, and the night ended with me scurrying home at 11, landing in bed.
And who knows what happened to the rest of the week..but summertime + kids = lots of busy and fun days.
8. Yesterday we went to the zoo, and today we scoped out our neighborhood garage sales and walked and walked until little MC's legs couldn't walk any more and ended in a protest. "my legs are very VERY tired momma!"
But Rylan had it good, and found it time to catch up on his sleep.
MC did find enough energy to pick some flowers for her Nana on the way home.
9. I am loving my iPhone for pictures lately..it's always there and so very easy to use. Not to mention, instagram is my new love and allows for a quick edit and easy send out function. What did we do before phone camera's? Here are a few more instagrams from this week.
10. And with that....phew, it's Friday! I am ready to share these 2 lovelies of ours with their other biggest admirer. Hurry home Daddy!
Have a great weekend!
