Fresh start

It may sound weird but I love Mondays, they always feel like a fresh start to me. Everyone is off to school, work, and we are back in our routines. Well, for one more week, at least, sort of. This is the last week of school, so next Monday will be a completely new kind of routine (and then only eleven days til Jenny and her family come to visit - woo hoo!!!).

Today my oldest is home as his exams are all finished so he pretty much has the whole week off, except for some activities, bringing his books in, and picking up his report card on Friday. So we are heading off to do some summer shopping for him and having lunch out together - at Greenway perhaps, a favorite of ours!

Our youngest had his big 9th birthday celebration this weekend - on Friday we took him out to dinner and he chose Thai House...on Saturday four of his friends came for a party...and on Sunday afternoon all the in-laws were here for the afternoon. Luckily it was nice weather and everyone could enjoy sitting outside.

So you will understand why it took me so long to blog! We did get our long run in yesterday, we did 6 loops around the lake (8.4 km) in 53 minutes, it was very humid out - we kept saying this is what it's going to be like for the Hottest Race, only twice as hot! But the sweat was dripping into my eyes - I really need to start wearing that headband again!

Hope everyone has a great week!
