I took the girls and hiked the Y today with Rachelle Wardle and Julia (and her family). It was quite the climb.
It took us a little while to get up to the Y but I was very impressed with the girls. They did great!
My girls and I had a tougher time coming down then going up. There were a couple of falls, but not a single one cried. I was happy about that. At the end my oldest said “I never want to do this again.” We all laughed… until next time…
We (Rachelle, Amber and I) went for an easy 7 mile run. Our time was 54:13 today. Even though it was our easy day we were all feeling sluggish. My legs felt heavy. Hopefully by Saturday I will be feeling better!
So I went to a church activity (LDS Faith) this evening and I brought my kids with me (they had a few young women there to babysit for the ladies that needed a babysitter… my husband had to work late tonight). Everything was going well, the other ladies and I were laughing, talking, just having a great time. Well out comes one of the babysitters (we were having a “picnic” out in the pavilion outside the church building while the girls were watching the kids in the “nursery” room). She looked a little frantic… I just thought, “Oh great… what did my kids do now?” The girl said,”We have a big problem, one of the kids clogged the toliet and the water won’t stop.” I got up with a few other ladies and went into the nursery room. Sure enough the water was streaming out of the toliet, coming out of the bathroom… with some particles that I won’t get into. It was bad. After we finally cleaned it all up (which to my surprise we were all laughing and joking around, and I think we bonded in a weird sort of way) I loaded my kids into the car. At that point no one knew who it was and they said it didn’t matter. I had to know so I turned around and asked my kids who did it. They were quiet for a moment and my 3rd child said in a small voice, “It was me.” She felt so bad and was concerned that she ruined the “play” room in church. My 2nd child then said it was her fault to because she went in right after and noticed the toliet didn’t completely flush and flushed it again… that is when the real damage happened… I couldn’t help it… I started to laugh. So sorry my bonding “Poop” ladies… it was my kids who did it! Don’t hate me… I know that it was not a very fun thing to do. So thank you!
I just sent the high school runners on a 7 mile easy recovery run after their hard workout yesterday of hill repeats… They were happy to hear that it was an easy day. 🙂 They are all a good group of kids!!! They work hard and listen well.
My kids usually come with me but their G-Goat (grandma) took them to the pet store. I guess I would be lying if I said my kids loved coming with me every time… But for the most part they do like to come to practices with me. The kids I coach are really fun with them… I hope my kids grow up liking this sport! 😉
This kept my girls entertained at scouts today…
