Boring Blog Update

The kids hanging out at the bar (which is really just he half wall room divider) chilling out eating frozen lemonade.

Is that what my Blog turned into? Me updating people on fund raising? B O R I N G ! ! By the way, I did spend $90 on frozen cookies so my kids could at least get the lowest prize. Lame, I know.

Quinton starts Running Club this morning. I am proud of him and hopes he likes it. Sophia wanted to do it too but you have to at least be a 3rd grader. I guess I am living vicariously through my kids to a point. I wish I had participated more in school activities and sports.

Speaking of running. I finally got my little running computer up and going. It is really complicated. There is a heart rate monitor that you wear around your chest, a foot pod which goes on your shoe and a wrist computer which looks like a watch. I had to go run on the treadmill at the rec center to calibrate the footpod. I don'tknow if I have ever calibrated anything before. Now I have to figure out what I am keeping track of in the first place. I just want to know how far I am going. Maybe driving the route with the car is easier.

Anyway, I have lots to do this morning so I better go...

Penn now knows that he gets a bath in the sink if he throws up in the kitchen. Nice face!

4th Week of School. I am trying to take a picture each week to see how fast they change!

The Fundraising Update

So, I finally emailed the fundraising coordinator at our school. Depending on how much our school sells we get 40%-50% of the $15/cookie order. Not as bad as I thought-still a rip off if you ask me. Tomorrow the orders are due and my kids will each have one order (from us). Bummer. Quinton's best friend actually sold 15 so I guess he gets to go on the limo ride. I will have to ask him mom about who bought all the cookies! Anyway, the coordinator said she wasn't there for the assembly and that her kids also came hope pumped up for the limo ride but alas they won't get to go either. Hmmm. That's it, no fight, no call to the news, no limo ride!

Let Me Eat Cake!

So I finally bought one of those chocolate bundt cakes from Costco about 10 days ago for Brady's Mom's birthday. I had always wanted to get one but really couldn't justify just buying a cake. It was really really good. So, yesterday I was at Costco buying Penn's weekly supply of Silk and what the heck, I got a chocolate cake too.

Well, last night Brady informed me that he was making a rule about chocolate cake from Costco. It is okay to get it for an occasion but not just because we want cake. Hmmm. This coming from the man who made us drive all around Grand Junction looking for a certain flavor of Ben and Jerry's ice cream for his nightly fix (he is over it now by the way).

Brady is not really into treats like I am. That is probably a good thing. When I was pregnant with Penn I would get hungry at night in bed. He would say, "just go to sleep, it will be better". Well, I only gained 15 pounds with Penn so I guess that was good advice.

Also, I will probably get over the cake with this go round and not feel the need to get it again....I better go see if I still like it!

Penn liked it too and it didn't even make him throw up even

though it contains whey. Yeah!
