Happy Monday!

Good morning! Happy Monday! I am so happy it's Monday, I know that might sound odd but all of my big events are complete and I can resume a normal level of activity again!

Saturday was the kick-off for the third and final event, a school-wide fundraising/awareness 170-mile relay race from our town to Sacramento. My boys ran in the first segment (Jeff ran, the Noodle scootered) and their segment was estimated to go 1.5 miles at a walking pace but their relay team burned through 4.2 miles! I was amazed Jaden and his little buddies went that far!

Here is a picture of us that night after I made the executive decision to go out for dinner instead of cooking:

Yesterday we were both still tired! I barely moved out of bed until 4 p.m. The Noodle fell asleep in the car and then slept in till 8:15 this morning. Today is the big rally in Sacramento but last night I made another executive decision to stay home. I did not think a four-hour drive was a wise idea. We need to slow things down around here.

Thank you for bearing with me during the past few weeks! Today it's grey outside but it's fine with me. I want to get my house back in order, restock my pantry and fridge and spend the afternoon reading Harry Potter to my sweet boy. We waited until he was 7 to begin the series and I have never read it so it's all quite exciting for us.
