This week marked the halfway point of my half marathon training for Washington DC. It also marked spring break, Ray's birthday, and Emma's Birthday. We all took off as a family and so much happened! We had such a blast all being together and I still managed to get in my runs.
Monday on my run I was attacked by a teeny tiny dog...she bit me just below the knee and it stung...It was supposed to be a 3 mile run but I shortened it to 3. Wednesday was Ray's birthday and we surprised him with an early morning spongebob party. K and I had kept the secret for days! We spent the day riding 4 wheelers, grilling, and enjoying the sun. It was amazing and I still got out and killed 5 miles. K learned how to drive her big girl 4 wheeler and now she is unstoppable. That is all she wanted to do for most of the week. Thursday we shot guns, started getting ready for Emma's party and had a nice dinner out. K insisted on going to build a bear and I insisted on not spending 100.00 on two bears, soooo I took k to storage and gave her my bear from when I was a baby. She LOVED the gift and has cuddled with it since. We made s'mores and went to the beach. I got the craziest sunburn but the girls had such a blast and enjoyed every minute. We got them some beach towels and sand toys so I am sure we will be going back for sure.
Saturday was E's birthday and it was AMAZING. We woke her up with her first gift which was an embellished tinkerbell dress with wings from the Disney store. Then daddy and pappy whisked her and K to Sweet and Sassy where they got their hair, makeup, and nails done. Did I mention K wore her embellished little mermaid costume. It was so stinking cute. It was not all fun and games though. I had to do 7.5 miles that morning. it was brutal and I was tired but I beat my goal time and may or may not have gotten a little teary eyed. E came home with pizza and to all of her favorite people. She couldn't wait to sing happy birthday to herself so we hurried and ate pizza, then we sang and ate sugar, and next we did presents. E got some awesome gifts and got to add to her Disneyworld bucket. I think the other kids cared more about playing outside. The trampoline and 4 wheeler rides with all the little kids was the highlight of the day. E's eyes were gleaming and her bright smile was shining. She was so happy and it just melted my heart. After everyone left we decided to go fishing. E got her new flip flops dirty right off the bat and me being a good mom tried to wash them off. The second I got close to the water I sank straight down. Mud almost to my knees and my flip flops gone!! It was gross. The party went on though and the girls caught a bunch of perch. Sunday was church day and the hubby took me to get some goodies afterwards. We had an awesome lunch at Mcalisters and I got a super cute top from Rue 21.
Well that ends the week!! Now for week 7.
