*Big sigh*
It is 9:30. Two hours past bed time and little girl is still trying to get out of bed. She has had some stretches were we thought she was settled down, but nope.
This situation will definitely impact my ability to run at night. And since that is the only time I can run, well….we will just see how this goes.
On a positive note, Aydan went poop on the potty tonight! I know, that...

The day has come.
We though we could postpone it as long as we could. Or we hoped that the day would never come. But, it is here.
PEYTEN HAS FIGURED OUT THAT SHE CAN GET OUT OF HER CRIB.
Charly and Aydan figured out this handy little bit of info much sooner than Peyten did. We moved them to big kid beds much sooner because of this fact as well. But, Peyten, even though that girl gets in to and figures out...

So far I haven't forgot the things I needed to...
….or at least I haven’t remembered any of the things I have forgotten.
I figure either way, I’m ok. Well, until I remember I suppose. Ok, now I am just rambling. I could be a little tired. Possibly.
On the remember list: Buy s’mores fixins for bonfire on Sunday - check Make fudge for an order - check Buy Luke a birthday gift - check Pay bills - check Bring glscrip...

Sometimes things don't turn out the way you...
So, you just roll with it.
Charly woke up today with a rash all over her arms and legs. We have no idea what it is, but are afraid it is contagious because the pharmacist said a couple kids have come in with it. So, we are pumping her with benadryl and keeping her out of the sun and away from people.
Mark had some things to do at the church, so I stayed home with the kids. Aydan and Peyten...

Teeth
Charly, my 6 year old, had a tooth pulled earlier today at the dentist. It was so sad to see her in pain like that. She was also so loopy from the gas. Which was a bit funny of course.
Hours later, she is pretty much back to normal now.
Well, the dentist put her tooth in a little box for her to take home. She was upstairs getting ready for bed and then she ran downstairs to ask me a...

Mini goals
Yesterday’s goal: Weights
I did get some weights in. Barbell work, various sit ups, planks, squats, shadow boxing. I only worked out for about 20 minutes, but I tried to hit many different areas of my body. I am not as sore today as I was the day after I worked out last time. So, not sure if that is a good thing or not, I guess I need to work out harder next time! It worked...

Making tortillas with little girl
Last night was leftover night, so I decided to make some flour tortillas to go with. Peyten decided to help :)
They turned out pretty good!

Much needed sleep
I went to bed at 9 o’clock last night. That is unheard of for me. I guess I really needed the sleep. I slept until this morning and still could have slept longer. Aydan did wake me up at 1am with a stinky diaper. (He had also woken Mark up at midnight from falling out of the bed, which I slept through, even though it was right above my head!) My alarm went off at 6:30am, which I...
I found this in my drafts, I forgot to post....
Kid conversations after my half marathon:
(on the drive home) Charly: “oh mom, I forgot to tell you! (chuckles) It was so funny. Opa was our taxi driver!” (pauses) “oh no, I forgot to pay him!”
(on the drive home) Charly: “Mom, I really like your brother.” Mom: “you mean Uncle Brett?” Charly: “yeah, but I just want to call him...

Mother's Day
This weekend was wonderful. It was full of lots of family time, which is always the best.
On Sunday, I woke up on the early side and Charly was up with me. Aydan woke up shortly after and Peyten slept in just a tad more. After sneaking in a shower before Peyten woke up, I decided to make some breakfast. Scrambled eggs with ham, green peppers, onions, and cheese. I made up a plate for Cindy...

I have to write this down before I forget...
We were sitting at the table and Peyten (2 yr old) was playing with Charly’s (6 yr old) purse. She ended up finding a cookie inside. Grammie and I were laughing that Charly had put a cookie in her purse and we weren’t really even sure where she got it from. Peyten of course, took the opportunity, and ate the cookie. It was a small shortbread type lemon cookie. Well, about ten...
