I think I've actually missed the kids while they were at school this week. I liked having fun things to do with them as my excuse for not doing all my work around the house.
We did get back to fun this weekend. Robie did a 15k this morning and I did a 10k. I was more worried than i wanted to be about the 10k (painful knees, painful back - the list of excuses for not training as much as I wanted could go on and on), but I did train and I ended up doing better than I had been hoping. I had convinced a bunch of my friends to do it as well and some of them had done the 5k, so towards the end I was running into them and it totally pushed me through. The best part of the day, though, was after Brooke and Ashley's basketball games (Brooke actually had two games today which was really rough). These guys don't look thrilled but it is actually really exciting and fun to watch the basketball games:.JPG)
Then we came home and just goofed around most of the afternoon - we played basketball with the girls out front for a while. .JPG)

Then Brooke was playing dart guns with the neighborhood boys, so I stood around and chatted with the moms (By the way, my favorite moment was when they were starting the nerf gun war and Brooke and her partner both jump into this truck and are waiting to shoot the other team, but the other team came all the way down the street and were hiding behind some trees waiting to shoot Brooke's team, so they were both sitting there for like 2 minutes until they realized no one was coming then thye both jump out and just run towards each other shooting away - classic). We had laundry to finish and cleaning to do and we just totally blew it all off. good times.

I call a 10k work. Hard work. Good job.
Basketball is fun to watch. I like that the games are not too long and they keep moving.
The run was great! Thanks for putting it together for us:) I understand the Nerf stuff. We have foam darts all over the house. My sister so kindly blessed Hudson with an automatic dart gun for Christmas that takes bullets Rambo style. I can't get away from it.
