Nanny Goat Race Report ‘13

Tony Ryan and I drove up early Friday. We managed to score the bay area a stall, I spent a good chunk of Friday afternoon decorating the stall as I'd learned last year that decorated stalls are very fun and much encouraged, this year I had a plan and brought supplies! I made a giant crepe paper golden gate bride on one ( Read more... )

this morning I did my alumni high school’s fundraiser run The Big Bear Run. I ran the 5k in 34:46, which is a new pr for me, but not entirely happy with it. I had wanted to do sub 30min, my PR is really slow as I always walk/run 5k’s with my little kiddos (they get mad if I do a 5k without them!).

Yesterday a traveling wrap came to our house, it's visiting from Russia, and our house is one of the stops on it's travels.

last night in the middle of the night bubba woke up with an asthma attack, and BSR was on the couch and a perfect middle of the night cuddle wrap.

At the 4th of July festivals I won the kids these goldfish and they are thrilled with them.

This afternoon Darci crashed on my bed, and Riley took advantage of every minute to have my undivided attention, he's such a mamma's boy. So I took advantage of it and took pictures :D

Here's Darci a few feet away from us, conked out.
