Battleship Half Marathon - Nov 7, 2010

My friends, Alexis & Jess, talked me into signing up for the Battleship Half Marathon sometime in August.  And somehow I blinked my eyes, and it was already November 7th and we were driving down to Wilmington at 5:45 in the morning!  It was a great event despite the somewhat chilly temps we experienced as we boarded the water taxi to get to the start/finish location next to the U.S.S North Carolina.  Here are a few pictures from the event:  


Pre-race feeding...had to empty the "tank"


Seriously regretting my decision to wear shorts at this moment:)


This may have been mile 2...see, we're all still smiling!


This was somewhere around mile 10 I think.  Hard to pick us out, but Jess is still smiling and waving (she's the one in the blue).


I dashed over in a quick (and fleeting) burst of motivation to say hello to Reagan.


Off to the left, I was trying to catch up to the girls after my "burst of motivation."


Post-race with our medals.  We finished in just over 2 hours and we were all quite happy with the results.


My cheering section!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
