More runnin

Here are a few pics of my soon to be 7 yr old playing soccer. I'm waiting for him to have the 6pm game so I can get some pics. This game has been his only early game. The later ones are harder to get pics with the sun going down.

He likes to play goalie too. He did a great job and really paid attention to where the ball was at all times.

Yesterday morning was the Women's 5K race. It was Mom's 2nd year! We are still waiting for the official results online but I'm pretty sure she finished in the top 5 for Powerwalkers in her age group! Way to go Mom!

We did it! We finished the race. Camille and I are lunchtime running buddies. We did good and ran well. But I was disappointed that I didn't beat my time from 2 yrs ago. Oh well I guess I'm 2 yrs older now.....so that's my excuse..ha ha ha..

After my race yesterday we took the boys to the first practice for their race. They both did really good and had a good time. B is so much better this year. Last year during the practices he cried and held onto my leg. This year he was doing his own thing and following the coaches and doing what he was supposed to. yay! I saw lots of others moms though, going through what I did last year...I felt their pain, but hopefully next year they will be like us.

I finally got out in the yard yesterday also. I trimmed the bushes and the boys helped pick up all the limbs. I still need to finish weeding the beds and adding new mulch. I want to plant a few mums also for the fall season. Hoping to get a little of that done today to have the yard looking better for D's party next weekend.

Also, my friend is coming over for us to work on our Halloween party invites so we can get them mailed this week. Once they are done I'll post a pic on here. I think they are so cute.

We are heading into birthday overload around here the next few months. Both of my boys, my hubby, my BIL, my FIL, my sis, and me! whew! Hoping I can stay away from all the birthday cake. Yes, I joined the weight loss contest again at work....sigh.......it is 10 weeks long so at least we can eat on Thanksgiving! My work lunchtime buddy is doing it too, so we hope to keep each other motivated! We are even thinking about a 10K race that's coming up. The only problem for me is that it's the morning of my girls night halloween party.....sigh.....not sure if I want to do it yet with the party being the same day. At least that's the excuse I'm trying to use...hee hee....we'll see.....

Well that's about all for now. I woke up this morning and couldn't sleep. I figured I'd get on here and post what we've been up to. Now I'm going to get some clothes washing. Lots and lots of stuff to do today. Yard work, laundry, D's birthday planning, and grocery shopping to name a few. Hoping everyone is enjoying their weekend! toodles for now.
