Our busy weekend

-
Basketball season is over for our household. Although March madness brackets will be on the table soon!
And we got to sleep in on Saturday. That was the only downtime for the weekend.
Even without basketball consuming our lives, we were on the move with meetings, church, teaching, kid's commitments and the everyday moments of life.

Here are some of the highlights throughout the day.
Little K. loves oranges! Her tastes continue to surprise me. These oranges came from my brother's backyard (as I was told) and they are SO good! Thank you guys!
Big brother is now ... shaving. Yikes. I thought boys were suppose to be OLD when they started shaving. How is it my 13 year old has had to shave at least 3 times now?

I finally got it documented on camera.
Dad helps out:

All clean:

This is what my oldest girl spent her time with on Saturday.
She helped G in the upstairs all day long.
Just one more thing girls need to know how to do before they leave home, right?
G and I were both able to get our long runs in this weekend. I made it to 8 miles on Sunday, and it actually felt good. I probably could have gone another mile! The half is about a month away - I'm at the point I think I can actually do this.

    Shaving...it's all downhill from there. Call me in five years crying when he leaves. I'll be there for you. All kinds of love and sympathy. Although, mine doesn't shave anymore. He has a hairy man face.

    And of course you can do 13.1. You will be great!

    Thanks Patsy! So many more milestones to go through. Not too exciting to get through them at this age as it was at 2 yrs old!

Success!

I made soup from scratch last night. And I followed the recipe (almost) to a "T". I've just figured it out - I cannot follow any recipe exactly . But the only thing I did differently is to leave a spice out, which didn't affect the taste. My husband really likes split pea soup. I have been buying it occasionally in the can for him; but then I came across a easy-looking recipe, bought the dry peas, and waited until I had a ham bone leftover. I have never eaten this kind of soup, it was a first for me and my kids last night. And I loved it! Along with a loaf of yummy homemade oatmeal bread, I was quite satiated by supper. I'll post the recipe over on my recipe pages. And to round out the night, what could be better than watching the kids play Twister? Well, maybe giving them rides on Twister...

Life is full of Surprises

So here's one picture from my birthday that I *forgot* to put on that post last month. Surprise! I have had mixed feelings about this for some time. But after my first doctor's appointment this week, I am much more positive about this big change in our lives. We finally told our other 4 what was going on. Now they understand, maybe, a little bit more why Mom is always on the couch sleeping. And they are super excited. I don't think they remember what is was like 4 years ago when the youngest was born and made SO much noise... Of course, she still makes a lot of noise, just a different kind.

People Watching

I love people watching. It can be so fun. So enlightening. So ... interesting. Do you ever make up stories about people you see? Or is this just a quirk of mine? My brain has to have something to think about while I drive! So each day I go to pick up The Boy from school, I pass all kinds of people. Today I saw the Postman who looks kind of like Hulk Hogan. Long blonde hair, mustache, buff arms. I think he is actually H.H. living here in our town, posing as a mailman to get away from the paparazzi. And then there's The Runner. This guy is either punching the air while he runs - shirtless most of the time- or rockin on his iTunes. Either way he usually looks like he's high on something. I wonder what he is training for. Today I saw a new intriguing sight. I passed by a man, running down the street with a Macy's bag in his arm. He was dressed in a white t-shirt, and tan Carhartt's; looked like he just gotten off work; he was running towards the work-truck, the kind with...
