Keep going

Just finished for the night and its literally the first time I've stopped since 5:45 this morning. I worked 7:15-4:30. Came home made dinner, dishes, three loads of laundry, picked up,snuggled girls, ran, made strawberry muffins for my girlies, another load of laundry, washed the dog, vacuumed, showered and now bed. I can go to sleep feeling satisfied for sure. 

Two more days until my vacation starts. Whoot! I can do it. Work until three tomorrow, and 5:15 the next. Clean the bathrooms spotless, wash bedding and floors and then relax on my vacation. 

This morning

P,rade this morning for Warren Day. Girlies are going to their first ever birthday party sleep over tonight. :) Not worried a bit they love seeing their friends and are in great hands. Thank goodness the weekend is here! Three more (obnoxiously long) work days before I get a vacation! Whoot. July 3rd-the 8th off :) July 4th is one of my all time favorite holidays. Nothing materialistic just new memories, tradition, familiarity and patriotic fun! I am hoping to get a run in today while my little ladies are at the party. LOVE them but this new I must run two miles crap is getting old. I need to run on my own for once ;) Both girls want to participate in the Color Run in September. I told them they could do it if they could run two miles by then. We are up to a mile each and they get runners stitch. I guess they think I am some kind of super woman who was blessed with the ability to run effortlessly without runners stitch because my advice is not taken... they stare back at me like, its not working even though I but 100% (10%) in to what you just said. LOVE YOU GIRLS . You will get it and I want you to get it. Truth is I like your company on runs, I am just not a fan of arguing through my breathing.  You have to be in a good place in your mind when running, if you can find it you can kill the miles. It is literally the best stress relief EVER.  That moment when you find and cross the line between  giving up from mental and physical exhaustion, and convincing yourself you have done enough it's OK to go home is marvelous. Strength vs weakness.

As the lumineers play through our house, the girls chatting with each other from the living room and knowing we have a fun filled day together I feel like a lucky Momma. Being with my girls is my happy place.

My girls this morning. Reading in bean bag chairs on the couch :) <3 

NH

This is actually our third year in NH and at Story Land. Year one we camped in a tent with Chris's family. Last year Sami and some of her family and I stayed at the Attitish Mountain Village resort. This year it was Randi, Crystal all of our kids and I. SO SO SO much fun. I am so thankful for the time we had. We all had pretty laid back attitudes the whole time. Time didn't really mean anything to us. The only time we really had to plan a time to be somewhere was Story Land the day we were there all day. We got to NH on a Friday and left on Tuesday. We spend plenty of time by the pool and in our massive three story high condo.

It was so much fun to open the doors and watch the kids pour into the door and run around exploring. We too had fun. We walked upstairs and found some beds, we thought we were going into a closet only to find another set of stairs that led to another level of condo. The kids pretty much took over the middle floor. Crystal and I slept downstairs on the Murphy bed. We all got a few good laughs. Crystal and Randi folded me up in the bed ha ha. There may have been a silly video made regarding the bed too.  Good food, lots of laughs happy kids, swimming, story land, bears, cookouts, parks, trains and the list goes on and on. My girls LOVE NH, I am pretty sure they expect to back yearly!

The Color Run

I ran my first color run this past weekend. It was a lot if fun. Pretty exciting for a 5k :) I want to do another one already! 

 

                       I love the shirts! 

My goal for this spring, summer and fall is to run 5 races, this race was the second for the year. 

Next planned is the inflatable 5k and another color run. I am also signed up for the Lobster Festival 10k 

Happy running :)
