weekend update

Friday after making suckers with Megan the girls spend the majority of the day playing outside. Ah, it's working already. I was in the house cleaning up our lunch/sucker mess when they requested I take pictures of them. I can't remember the last time they asked me to pull out my camera, but I was grateful for it as often I need reminders to photograph the normal everyday.



That night was spent at Jill's for game night. We played one game of Catan, which seemed to last a long time (Randy won), and then watched Flight of the Conchords for the rest of the night. Such a funny show, but I agree with Lucy, it's not for everyone.

Saturday Adam and I enjoyed an entire day to ourselves thanks to Jill who offered to have our girls over for a sleep over. Delightful. I slept in and read in bed for an hour after waking up. We finally got ready and headed out for the day. We waited 20 minutes to have lunch at Cheesecake Factory where we enjoyed a good meal and conversation, despite the crazy people next to us that insisted on a booth. We also took home with us a jar of Thai peanut sauce, which made for a delicious meal yesterday (did you know you could buy their sauces and dressings?). We then went to a movie, 21, it was the only thing playing that wasn't rated R and we were both in the mood for darkness and entertainment, but it wasn't that great. The popcorn and company were good though.

Sunday I told myself I wasn't going to nap because it often messes with my schedule, but I couldn't help it. I was so tired I just had to. So about 3pm after dinner I laid down and Adam came in about 5:30pm to wake me up. Drat...that's way too long and too late to be able to recover from and go to bed at a decent hour. Aargh, another poor choice. At 7pm I had a youth conference meeting, which I wasn't happy about having to go back out for, but it unknowingly saved me from a sleepless night or so I think (just the act of going out made me exhausted). I came home, read for a couple hours and then went to bed at 10:30pm. It was nice (for once) waking up this morning at 6:30am feeling refreshed and ready to go.



I even ran this morning with a goal in mind. Apparently Adam's family wants to do a 5k with the whole family...kids and all. I'm not sure how it will work out with my girls. I don't think they could walk a 5k (without complaining) so I need some pointers to help them get ready. I am glad this morning to have something to work for to push me. I ran/walked 3 miles in 45 minutes so hopefully in a few weeks running will stop hurting and become more enjoyable.
