Just because he's SO cute!Picture taken this morning, he's eating a chunk of
Gingerbread house.
Well, we finally had a good running week! We had just enough breaks in the weather at just the right times and we were able to take advantage of it! I have to say that I am so glad Brian's office is in town and that he likes to run on his lunch break! It is nice to head out on the trail together as a family!
So you already heard about Soph's spill on Monday, Tuesday she wasn't really wanting to ride. I bribed her with a promise to take the course that leads to Chevron, and that changed her mind!
Wednesday we heated up some yummy leftovers and took them to Brian on his lunch break, then we took the kids to the park to play for a bit. It's a nice break for Brian to get out of the office and also spend time with the kids, although it was a bit colder than we thought it would be....
Thursday we did our Winter Break tradition of building a Gingerbread house. I got a different kit this year and it was much easier to assemble. Brian got off early, so we were able to get an 8 miler done before the sun set. Then we took the kids for dinner at Jamba Juice. Weird, I know, but have you had their flat breads? The highest cal one is 390, we got 2 and split them between the 5 of us, didn't have drinks. Not bad. Then we went next door and had yogurt...also not bad if you are going to have a treat. Then home for family study, and the kids had a sleep over on the sleeper sofa, popped popcorn and watched a movie.
Brian has elder school today and tomorrow, so the kids and I dropped him off and hit the craft store. We got about 4 projects to work on over the weekend and next week. Should be fun!
As far as the move is going, it is going! Everything we don't use daily is packed. Some things are in boxes but not taped shut, like the kids books and favorite toys. Wednesday I moved the sofas and vacuumed underneath, also cleaned ashes out of the fireplace and vacuumed it out (this brought back some childhood memories of a vacuum burning up and made me smile). Also got into some nooks and crannies that usually have furniture in them and cleaned up all the dust and spiderwebs. I like to know everything is totally clean and that our help isn't going to move something and find a pile of fingernails, or moldy apple cores, or fruit snack wrappers in Bubba's favorite hiding place....not that I found any of those things, just saying.
I bought Spackle today, and also more Magic Erasers....getting down to the nitty gritty cleaning stage. We are just excited to get moved over to the new house and settle in. We have a vacay the first week of Feb, and will be getting a mini shcnauzer after our trip, so lots of good things to look forward too!
There are tons more pictures from our adventures this week on the dropshots site.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
