Sunday was equally as crazy. We we outside all day long playing and doing yard work. So extremely tired, but such a good weekend!
Every now and again, we have weekends that make our weeks look relaxing. This weekend was one of them. It started out with the Run.4.Fun. It's a 5K fundraiser for the schools. I've posted this before, I'm in horrible shape. I used to run about a 6.5 minute mile. I used to run a minimum of 3 miles a day. Now, I don't run at all. I was originally going to "fast walk" this 5K. Then, Monster decided he wanted to do it with me. So, we signed up for the 1 mile with friends. It was a Mother/Son run for the 4 of us. After about the first 10 steps of the race, it was obvious how out of shape I was. It was all worth it though. As we were running, Monster said, "This is the best time I've ever had in my whole life!" Makes the sweat and sore muscles worth it. Monster wants to do it again next year. Hopefully, it won't be as painful then! Saturday gave me a taste of what life is going to be like with two teenagers. First, we were up bright and early for Sunshine's soccer. Soccer with a newly turned three year old is a special form of torture. It's torture that you don't quite mind because it's so darned cute. The coach is seriously a saint. I don't know how he does it. He's the best! This week was funny because Sunshine's friend, [G], was not there. Somehow, Sunshine knew this. Like the girls had been texting each other or something that morning. On the way there, she kept telling me that [G] was not going to be there. Back to the story though. Without [G] there, Sunshine is the smallest one by a good 3 inches. She's the youngest, so it's not that surprising, but this week, not only was [G] not there, but the other little boy who is 2 days older than Sunshine was not there, so her being so tiny stuck out like a sore thumb. She was the only girl there as well. For some reason, this week, there were a lot of tears at soccer. Not from Sunshine, from everyone else. Sunshine was very concerned about it and kept wanting to make sure all her soccer friends were OK. She is such the little mama. I had to keep reminding her to pay attention to her coach, and then she'd happily skip off with her ball to find him! After what seemed like the longest time, we headed home to pick up the Monster for swimming. This was Monster's first day of higher level swim. Grandma came with us. It was awesome! Monster did fantastic! Makes me wish I would have allowed him to move up sooner (I held him back because I wanted him to be ready). He even got to go off the diving board! When we got home, it was time for the kids' birthday party. Since they are only about a month apart, we combine their parties so that it's easier for family. I don't do big bashes. I don't do themes. I do always have fancy cake though, thanks to a friend. This year's cupcakes were Thing 1 and Thing 2. My friend did a wonderful job on them! Confetti cupcakes with butter cream frosting. So yummy and cute! Kids had a great time at their party. One thing that Monster requested was that in place of one gift, everyone bring a donation for the Children's Center. I'm happy to say we have a nice a little collection of things! Nana gave him $10 to go out and buy things for the Center himself since she's still in a sling.
