I can't ever remember weekends being this consistently busy, but here we are. I must say we were blessed with beautiful weather and lots of fun new surprises! It started with the patio extension, and the lawn mower edition (at the rate we're accumulating those we're going to need another garage. Who ever thought 3 wouldn't be enough, and we STILL only park ONE vehicle in the garages!! LOL!) My mom and aunt & uncle came up for a visit too. My mom had to be out of her house this weekend because she closes on it tomorrow, and she needed a place for her cat to be until she can move into her new home in June. So for the next few months, we have adopted Molly.
She's a fiesty little thing, but she seems to be coming around and adjusting to the hustle and bustle of the kids and our busy lifestyle. She's a siamese himalayian and this picture doesn't even begin to show how pretty she really is. (I might be slightly biased based on the fact that 12 years ago she was orignially my cat, but she and my dad bonded when I came home from college for spring break and the 2 of them just couldn't be seperated. So sweet!) Anyway, she makes no secret about her "siamese" heritage and has quite the attitude. The kids are desperate to "win her over" and to also prove to us they can care for an animal in hopes they can get one of their own someday. I guess we'll have to wait and see on that.
The kids really enjoyed having the company too! Nana got to read them a bedtime story on Friday.
We all laughed at the fact that the girls picked Sharks for a bedtime story. Not exactly "sweet dreams" material with statistics of how to defend yourself and your odds of being a victim of a shark attack. Nevertheless, they LOVED cuddling and special time with Nana!
Saturday was a big day for me as I ran my first race of the year and in the series that will eventually lead me to my goal of a half-marathon in the fall! This one was just a 5K (3.1 miles). I didn't run my best. Guess a half-pound cheeseburger with an iced browine & ice cream the night before wasn't exactly the best idea! LOL! We did have a "brush with greatness" at the race as Melissa from the Biggest Loser (red team) was there to help promote the race. Woo Wee! I can just feel how jealous you must be! LOL! I'm going to run another 5K this weekend. It's a good way to keep me accountable and to track my progress. Anyway, here's a picture of me and my running buddies!
Way to go ladies! We did it!
