So either we have been very busy or very boring. Maybe a combination of the both. We told the kids this year that it was only going to be one activity per kid per session this year because it was so overwhelming last year running to 6 different things during the spring. So far it has worked out well. The girls are about to finish up the current sessions of gymnastics for Lily and basketball for Rowan and then they are both going to move back into swimming lessons starting the first weekend in March. We will continue that until the pool opens for the summer and they will both play soccer in the spring. Rowan did not want to play softball this year so that eliminates a huge time commitment.
Parker and I have been dieting and exercising religiously since the beginning of the year (how terribly cliche) but it is totally working for us and we are both down almost 20 pounds each and going strong. We both have goals and are striving for them. Mary Summer and I are doing this together as well and she suggested trying to train for a 5K so damn if we aren't doing that too. That's right - I started running - who would ever have thought that would happen??? I even signed us up for a fun 5K at http://www.runordye.com/locations/Philadelphia-2013 and neither of us can wait for it to get here!
Things that have occurred over the last few weeks. Lily went away from our house for her first sleepover ever. She went to Megan's house and was so excited to go!
And here she was about 4 hours later back at our house in her jammies and wanting to sleep at home. Maybe next time....
Last weekend Lily had a playdate at our house with a boy from her class! We kept joking that she was having a date with him, his name is Dylan - and she was very quick to constantly point out it was a PLAYdate not a DATE! She however felt the need to wear her Snow White dress while he was here ;)
This past weekend was the President's Day long weekend here. Rowan got a climbing package for Christmas that she cashed in on Saturday night and took McKenzie with her too. It was called Kids Night Out at Doylestown Rock Gym and it fed them pizza and let them climb for 3 hours. She was in heaven.
Sunday some daycare parents and I and the kids and Rowan and Olivia went to Happy Tymes to spend some energy and some money! They have another rock wall there so Rowan was all over that and when she was not trying that out she and Olivia were burning dollar bills in all the games! Lily and her friends however were all over the place riding the few rides they have approximately 50 times each!
Monday I was off work and both girls schools were closed so we ran errands and they were both going to go to a doc appt with me but Gary stepped up and offered to take Lily bowling with him and his kids and another friend! Score!
Last but not least...how cute is this??
