We went to Lily's school to participate in their Fund Run yesterday so even though our bodies were exhausted from painting we ran around a track for half an hour to try to support Lily and try to help her class win the coveted "Golden Shoe." Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. It was fun to see Lily goofing around and running backwards along the track with a friend, calling out to other friends, mostly ignoring and running separately from the parentals :) Sierra was so cute with her marathon number strapped on her back racing as fast as she could yards up ahead of her mom and dad trying to win the prize. I didn't have the heart to tell her she couldn't win the golden shoe for herself, just for Lily's class - at least she was helping her sister :) She made it 2 laps and then went to play on the playground. After school we had a fun playdate picnic at the park with Lily's friend and her friend's little sister who is Sierra's age while Mike kept plugging away at painting. It was so cute to see Sierra make friend's with a little curly haired boy her size, and eagerly reach in the bag to grab handfuls of cheetos to feed his baby sister, dropping half of them on the ground in the transfer from little hand to little hand. It was so funny! So proud of those moments when they eagerly share!
I went with Lily's class on two field trips the last couple of weeks and got some pictures from that. We, or I should more accurately say - Mike's dad - had a garage sale at our house the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. We sold some stuff too, but it was mostly his sale. We did sell an old car Mike bought from a neighbor so we'd have a spare, and we were glad to see it go and get our money back. It was a good idea to have a cheaply obtained emergency vehicle, but the car was just too ugly - and the battery kept draining, but the guy who bought it was excited to get it anyway. To each his own!
Still need to post pictures from Sierra's birthday and our Memorial Day picnic to Indian Painted Rocks, and of the improvements we've made to the house, but I'll wait to do that til we're done painting!
Here's from the Manito Park field trip:
I was thrilled another girl in the class was actually asking me to take
their picture and Lily was going along with it - they actually posed!
(This kind of cooperation is rare for my girls right now)
Such a beautiful park with so many lovely gardens!
Mine is the crazy further up in the trail by the roses
- not the one sticking close to the chaperone.
Bunny ears are just so hilarious right now
Having fun!
Can you tell which one is mine?
Group photo - got to see some turtles in the duck pond.
The garage sale,
and Mike's first day painting when he just couldn't wait to begin :)
Shouldn't be long now - we just have the deck, front stairs, and trim to finish...and the shed to match, Oh, and the fence...yup...shouldn't be too long...zzzz... ;)
