miscellany monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

I am addicted to Starbucks Shaken Black Iced Tea.  I kicked my Starbucks hot chocolate habit (550 calories!) and replaced it with calorie-free iced tea so that's a bonus!

This is the first year that I've signed up for the Track Shack Running Series.  The Track Shack Running Series consists of seven prestigious local road races, offered at the best venues, in distances of 5k, 5.2k, 5 mile and 10k.

There was an option to be a "SuperFan":

Become a SuperFan! Spice it up by participating in the Distance Dare and racing twice in one day at UCF 5 miler & 2 miler, Founders’ Day 10k & 5k and Winter Park Road Race 10k & 2 miler, thus completing all 10 Track Shack Running Series events.

I thought that sounded like a good idea :)  A few of the races have Kids' Runs that I'm hoping Rob will bring the kids out to and get them excited about running!

I absolutely love this picture.  Sure, no one is looking at the camera and that is usually something that bothers me.  I just think it captures the fun of this moment so well.  I hope the kids always remember how much fun we had during their childhood :)

One of these days, I will get around to posting pictures of baby Claire's baby shower.  We did a candy buffet for the baby shower and I reused the idea for Noelle's birthday last month.  For Claire's special day, I created a banner that said "Claire's Sweet Shoppe":


I didn't have the time (or energy) to make one for Noelle's party and Noah just wasn't having that.  So, he went to work on creating his own version and taping it the wall:



My OCD-self typically would have torn something like this down but I just couldn't!  I have one of the sweetest kids ever.  He's truly amazing.

I have to fly to Atlanta this week for a work dinner :(  But, I'm going to turn lemons into lemonade and meet up with Uncle Kyle...aka...best uncle ever!

Best.friend.ever!  I was violently ill this past weekend and nurse Sarah came to the rescue!  I am so thankful to have such an awesome friend :)  I'm also so thankful to be all better because that was downright miserable!

  8. What fun pictures and so glad that you are feeling better. Moms just cannot be sick, it messes up the "house system." :o)

    Enjoy Atlanta and seeing your brother. I'm in a hotel room in Shreveport this evening and back to the hospital in the morning to be with my Dad. Oh, me, what a journey! Love you!
