Vacation is over

How was your weekend?!  Ours was nice and relaxing.  Didn't get anything done that we wanted, but it was the perfect weekend being together.  Just how it should be coming off break.  Christmas break is over (on Tuesday for us), but it may as well be tomorrow with the errands and rigmarole we need to get done.

Sterling was finally able to wear her dress from Grandma and she was so excited!  It's a bit long in length and the sleeves, but she kept it on ALL day (which never happens!).

She's munching on carrots, her favorite.

She also likes to dress herself.  She has for the past few months, but she's finally choosing outfits that look decent enough to go out without making her change.

Xander's been bugging me to play the "games on the TV," (the Wii) so he spent a long time on Friday figuring them out.  He's good at bowling and tennis.  He never won at tennis, but he had skill.

We also finally hung pictures on the wall!  Only 7 months before the movers take them right back down, but hey, our house finally feels like home.  Although this would never be our forever home.

Since Jan 1st, we've been bundling the kids up and taking nightly walks around the block.  They love and they sleep awesome afterwards.  Win win for us!

Today I decided to go with Nick to the trail and start training for a 5K.  He signed us up for on in February, so I need to figure this out.  On the way to the trail, this girl fell asleep.  Always.  Never fails.  (And yes, I put the shoulder belt over her because it's pointless to buckle using the 5-point when it's so loose from the bulky coat and snow pants and probably safer using the shoulder strap)

I finished week 1 day 1 of C25K.  I don't know how I'm planning to do this, really I don't.  I'm not being strict about it, and I'm just hoping I can enjoy running.  I probably won't be anywhere ready to run a 5K, but I'll keep trying.  It will take time because I always have some pain stopping me.  Like tonight, my hip started having spasms, but I mustered through pain and finished proud.  It was only week 1 day 1, but I'm still moving faster than all those sitting on couches still.  Sticking to it!

Happy Monday!
