Well this is awkward

Sorry, didn't mean to leave y'all hangin'. Lately I just haven't felt like I had anything of use to say. Really, who wants to just listen to my daily activities. Which this summer included tennis, tball, traveling, & parks.

We are in back to school mode here at our house. The Boy is gearing up for kindergarten. We were at the school today buying uniforms and paying tuition. The Girl will be attending preschool at a local daycare 2 1/2 days a week starting after Labor Day while I go into the office.

I ran my first 5k race this last weekend. I had a goal of under 35 minutes and I can in at 35 minutes & 23 seconds. I can handle that because I did walk some. I had some lofty goals for starting to train for a 10k but I have decided to stick with 5ks for now and just work on speed. I am so so so proud of my dad. He ran his first half-marathon on Saturday. He will be 60 in a month!!!

We put over 3000 miles on our van in just over a month earlier this summer. We spent some time with family in SW Wyoming and Yellowstone. Then my little brother got married in Rapid City, SD. Now we are thinking about going to Madison, WI over Labor Day weekend to see my sister and her husband.

I'm so boring and I really have nothing more to talk about. :)

Before and After

Christie over at Baby Tea Leaves is having a before and after party. I haven't posted anything in a while so I thought I would join her party. I have 2...obviously for my 2 kids. :)

1. the Boy

He was born at 34 weeks.

2. the Girl

She was born at 37w 1d

Now at 5 1/2 and 3.

The Girl just turned 3 on Sunday the 19th! Happy Birthday Big Girl! I Love You!!

My trip to the grocery store this morning.

After the Girl and I dropped the Boy off at school this morning we went to the grocery store to pick up a few things that were on sale this week. We got what we needed and checked out. Then we went over to the pharmacy that's located in the store to get some Calmoseptine ointment. (It's usually used in nursing homes, but we use it for really really bad diaper rash) I asked for the tube of it and it turns out that they stock it on the shelves now. They used to have it behind the counter and you had to pay the pharmacy for it.

Anyway, they grab a tube for us and I go back to the checkout lines to pay for it. The checkout lady grabs the tube and says, "just the toothpaste?" (She didn't really look at it) The Girl proceeds to announce to her and the entire store, "NO, it for my BUTT, it has an ouchie!" You could tell it took everything the checkout lady had not to burst out laughing. Then she notices that the Girl has her coat on backwards. (Yeah, that's the new thing in our house. Whatever, I don't fight the clothes battle.)

I think it might be awhile before I go back to that store.

Free to a good home!

A firey redhead that must have her way at all times. She is cute most of the time and doesn't eat much. Not yet toilet trained. Please inquire within.
