Daughter loves to make up hilarious songs (that we are very rarely allowed to laugh at because she believes they are very serious in nature). So as long as she's not with you when you click on the link, feel free to laugh as much as you want.
This is only 1 of about 7 videos that I've recorded that start off with "You're with me, I'm with you, we're a family." They all branch out into different thought processes. There's one about how she and Son are going to get married because they are best friends and love to play together. There's one about how she thinks that Story Time at the library is 'fantastic' and there's another about how when she rides her bike she's faster slow things like turtles.

DST or Running Restart
Weeks ago, I decided Sunday, March 11, 2012 would be the day I restarted my running schedule after taking the winter off. (I'm such a wuss when it comes to running in the cold. I can handle 105 degrees as long as I have lots of water, but man, when it dips below 55, I put those running shoes back in the closet!)
Anyway, March 11 sounds a little arbitrary but it's also the day Daylight Savings Time begins. With that extra hour of sunlight, Husband can join me (and a stroller full of kids) on a run. And that's how I like it best. Even though he's much faster than me(esp when I have the stroller), I still feel like we are doing it together.
Our plan right now is to run Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
MY plan is to start over the couch25k series that I've had great success with the past two summers. But instead of just doing the 30ish minute podcast and being done, I am doing a 5k - every time I run. (when the podcast is over, I restart it and go until I've reached a 5k) I figure that's the best way I can get my body used to running that far is just to DO IT from the start. In intervals. So yesterday my 5k was 46:57 because I was doing it to week 1 of couch 25k. So I actually only ran 14 minutes of that 47 minute time. (btw, it takes me about an hour to walk 5k) This is the part of my post where I recommend sports-tracker.com. I use it on Husband's android phone and really like it.
I have that huge 46:57 written on the calendar and I'm ready for a slightly smaller number each time I run.
I'm excited and optimistic about this approach. The last two years I could easily manage all the podcasts but even at the end, I wasn't running fast enough to run a 5k in 30 minutes. So when the podcast was over, I was finished but never got the distance. I'm hoping this will do the trick
After yesterday's run, I'm a little stiff and my left hip is hurting. But overall, I feel good and I'm excited about doing it again on Tuesday.
I've got a race on the calendar for late April in Oneonta. And, as of right now, that's the first one I'm planning on doing. I'm excited.

The Baby Gift is in the Mail
Two great friends of ours, that we never get to see enough, are expecting their first child very soon. And I just mailed our gift to baby ACT.
I made her a quilt, Son and Daughter decorated her a couple of onesies (with a little help from Husband) and then I added some diapers and the rest of the pack of onesies in for good measure.
 |
| the quilt front. I used whirlwind romance collection from connectingthreads.com and the pattern is a slight variation of one I've used a few times before. I just love this pattern. It's so easy and quick to put together and I just think it's great. |
 |
| The back, with Baby ACT's initials. Here's hoping that her parents don't change their mind on her name after she's born. or her quilt will be a call to action and service instead of her initials! |
 |
| Son colored lots of "different colored friendly snakes" and then asked Husband to draw a green airplane. Snakes on a Plane onesie? |
 |
| Daughter decorated the front and back. the front is covered in purple flowers and the back is covered with As and dots and a flower. She was pretty proud. |

The Park with Two Kids
We go to the park/a park whenever the weather allows. We all love it. Before I post anymore, here's a link to a park post about a year ago. Wow, those kids have gotten so big.
