Sorry, I didn't post last week. You haven't missed much as I seem to not take my camera out much these past two weeks. We are still figuring out our "new normal" with Spencer being in school.
Last Sunday Ryan went to the Packer game. He had seats in the new section and took a few pictures from his seat. I still don't think there is a bad seat in that stadium.
With the new addition, this past Sunday was the largest crowd ever at Lambeau
Best part you get an actual seat not a bench.
My neighbor/friend Amanda and I took the boys to the zoo in the afternoon. The ran from animal to animal and finished the zoo in about 10 minutes.
We agreed to a ride before heading home.
I asked Amanda if she ever wished her van was a limo like I do so that you could put the partition up between the front and the back. This way you wouldn't have to hear the whining of over tired kids in the back seat. Easton happened to snap this picture of me as I was turing around for probably the 20th time to tell someone to stop doing something.
My sister has made me nervous that no one will help Spencer tie his shoes (she doesn't tie shoes for her kids she makes them find a friend to help). So one evening after school Spencer and I worked really hard on mastering this skill. I'm proud to say he can now tie his own shoe!
It's strange only having 2 kids at home on stay home days. I'm not going to lie, I LOVE it! It's way easier taking 2 places. We can actually go to the store. We are still having fun though outside while we can and have play dates at parks.
I always hope that the little boys will sleep until I get Spencer on the bus. The bus stop isn't far away it's on the corner of the other cul de sac but I'm just not ready to send Spencer down there on his own. He does have to cross our busier street so in the mornings we all bundle up and walk down there. I dread winter.
Here we are celebrating there are only 2 boys at home with silly faces.
Nolan's hair grows fast like Spencer's and mine.
We love the silly faces...
We went out to celebrate a few birthdays this week.
I got my hair done last week and thought it would be a great idea to go darker....
The next day I had my hair dresser strip it all out so I could be blonde again.
Dear Packers: You need to start winning more games! Thank You!
The boys are playing their version of paper dolls.
Long days at school tired our boys out!
We headed to grandma and grandpa's friday evening. Even though we they weren't there we still had a pizza party at their house.
Heather's school was having a glow in the dark fun run. It was a 2 mile race and the best part you could dress up in all the glow stuff you wanted.
Easton cried for about the first 0.5 miles. He didn't think we were running fast enough to win the race. I have no idea where he gets his competitive edge from...
The runners.....
After the race dance party....
With fall here and my mom gone I felt obligated to decorate the house myself. I'm hoping I picked the right mums and they bloom!
Sunday I ran in the Women Run The Cities race. I've been training/running with some friends. We typically meet 1-2 times a week. A few of us had singed up to do this race together as kind of an end of the season type thing. I was happy my sister agreed to come up and run with us.
My neighbor Staci ran the race on her birthday!
Amanda, Staci and me....
Even though I tried to get my sister to just leave me in the dust (I secretly knew this wasn't going to be an awesome run and hoping maybe then I could walk and no one would know) she stuck by me. I'm thankful she will slow down to my pace even though she could finish in the top. Its fun having her next to me and it keeps me motivated as I wouldn't want her to see me give up and walk. I didn't set any major goals. I was hoping to beat my last time but no such luck I was about 20 secs slower. I was sort of thank full when we saw a lady with a leg cramp that I actually could stop for a min to see how she was doing. It bugs me a little that I didn't do better but then I think about to when I first started and I can still be proud of where I'm at today. So I will take 28:08 (9:04 mile pace) 106th out of 1046 and 25th out of 194 for my age group.
