Got in some several good 6 milers this week, and we even did a track workout----8 half miles (that's two laps around the track). My, I was a little tired after that! Got in 6 miles this morning with a friend I hadn't talked with in a while.....running is a great way to spend time catching up with a friend!
My daughter was sick all last weekend, but she did get her valentine's done. There was paper, stickers, stamps and markers all over the counter for days! She made a cute valentine using a printout of a Mary Engelbreit heart....then there was a Valentine pencil going through it like Cupid's arrow! She also had a diorama project due this week (that's a scene in a box). Plus I helped in her class for the Valentine's Day party---I brought three crafts and I made a cute Valentine matching game. One of the pictures to match was a class picture. The kids loved it! So, it was a busy week.
Oh, and there's more.....I spent the 13th making baked goods for a bake sale for my oldest daughter. The preface is that on the night of the 12th, David and I were watching the Food Network channel and we saw a show about making massive chocolate chip cookies....I decided to make that my goal when I started cooking on the baking day. I altered my tried and true recipe slightly, chilled the dough and viola!....I think I did pretty well:
And here are the cupcakes I made; I went all out with pink frosting, sprinkles and candy hearts!! My daughter said they sold really quickly!
My son played his last basketball game of the season this week.....I'm a little sad for that to be over, but now it's on to track& field! Added bonus this year is that both of my sons will be on the SAME track team----only one meet a week!
We went out for Mexican food last night--YUM! Then my eldest went to a play, and my other son had a friend over to watch Monk and Psych. I made cookies for my youngest daughter's basketball game today. They needed a little sweetness after they got ROMPED this morning---poor things!
My bread maker is purring away. I'm making pizza dough for homemade pizza that we'll have for dinner tonight. I made bread another night this week. It's wonderful to walk into the house with the aroma of fresh bread lingering.
One more basketball game today.....church, a birthday party, and a basketball banquet, and then we're into another week. Next week's running plan includes a thirteen miler, so I'll need to gear up for that!
Hey, did I mention that I've signed up to do the Disney Half Marathon next January? There's already eleven in my running group who are all booked and ready to run it!
TTFN!
