I can't believe another week has slipped by. There was lots of crafty activity around here. We had Valentines to make and Kelby had to make some crafts for a hobby fair at school today. The kids in the fourth grade were given the opportunity to make crafts and "sell" them to their classmates. It was all done with fake money that they'd been earning in class. Kelby made some cute polymer clay creatures and together we made some necklaces out of candy. I helped her display her items creatively so she had a nice "store front". Her friend Taylor was a great "business partner" and they helped each other out.
All that fun stuff happened on Friday. They had their Valentine's party, got to wear their pajamas to school, and even bring a stuffed animal along. Plus, Kelby had the hobby fair! Lucky girls don't even have school Monday.
The only other big thing this week was the fact that I started running. I ran with Anika on Monday and Wednesday. It was a slow two miles with stop and go. On Friday I ran while Mike was home for lunch so Anika didn't have to go with me. It was WAY harder without her. She had masked my need to stop and walk part of the way. I'll have to work into it I guess. We'll see if I can keep it up.
Tegan really showed me up today. Her and Michael ran in a "Two for the Road" race today. It was a race for couples. They had to compete as a couple. They finished the 3 miles race in 36 minutes. She did a great job for her first run! I think she had a good time running with Daddy. Someday we'll be a family of runners!
To celebrate our Valentines today I made the girls a simple Valentine that I hung on their bedroom doors for this morning. For Michael, I made a Valentine scrapbook that showed him "10 things I love about you" and a mix CD to go with it. He made me a delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict. He's gotten really good at that recipe and it is my favorite breakfast. He's currently plannig a yummy dinner for two after the girls go to bed. We've got steaks and lobster tails, so we'll see how it goes! Lucky me! PS. I'd recommend everyone watch "Horton Hears a Who". We watched that movie last night and really enjoyed it.
Great job on the running Shawna! Keep at it, you'll probably start loving it. (Last year I went from thinking I couldn't run, and not liking it, to loving it and running a 1/2 marathon!) Sounds like Tegan is quite the runner - well done!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog Shawna, take care,
