here's a reason to LAUGH...

Okay, if this doesn't make you laugh I don't know what will!!!  I was cracking up when I took the pictures and then again when I downloaded them... and now again when I'm posting here.  Too funny!!!  Rachel, Eli and Abby came down like this, so I had to have Kate and Nate do it, too.  Cracks me up!!


And, I had to do close-ups, too!! : )






So, Abby spent last night at our house and she stayed again tonight.  The girls have had a blast together!!  I know Sheri is missing Abby, but she's been such a pleasure to have around... she really is a great kid.  The girls played barbies, listened to music, went for a walk, played with their big dolls, played with Ella, watched a movie, had ice cream, made anklets and did lots of laughing.  Good times!

[and, Nate... watching the big kids eat supper]

[Nate is his navy and orange... this outfit always reminds me of Patrick ~ Appleton West and Chicago Bears...]


[Kate feeding her little brother... love]

I was due for a 5-mile run today.  Training for a half-marathon the end of September and I really hate to miss a run.  I was going to run early this am, but it ended up not working out.  So, I took the kids with me mid-morning.  I just ran up and down our street... it actually wasn't as bad as I thought.  So glad I did it!  The kids were great!

This was my facebook status today: 5 kids + 5 miles + 0.45 mile road = lots of repetition and snacks (and GREAT kids!)

Here is my route (not sure if you can even see it)... boring, I know!  The kids hovered in the middle while I went back and forth (and back and forth and back and forth...).  I was always a little ahead or behind them.  I could see them and direct them the entire time.  They did take a couple short breaks under the trees.  The girls had their dolls, Eli had the phone for playing games, Kate had a snack and Nate fell asleep. : )


If you want to smile again I think you should scroll back up and check out the kids' faces... hilarious! : )

Keep smiling!
