Run, Run as Fast as You Can and Other Stuff

Great day spent with great friends!  For the last couple of months some of my besties have been training for their first 5K.  I really admire their dedication.  Today was their big day.  We woke early and traveled to a nearby town for their first race.  It was so much fun to cheer them on.  As most always we met interesting characters along the way.  Can't wait to spend two evenings with these girls this week.  We are long overdue for Girls Night Out!

This week many celebrated American Education Week.   The members of our household got to participate in a variety of ways.  My hubby participated in the Readers are Leaders event at the kiddos' school.  He got to read to our son's 5th grade class.  My mother-in-law read to my daughter's kindergarten class.  The school sponsored the annual Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday and it is tradition for 5th grade to dress up for the special occasion.  My son was one handsome boy- so glad he gets excited about these school activities.  Thursday evening I baked and prepared for the teacher appreciation event PTO sponsored on Friday while the kids prepared their costumes.  On Friday all of the children dressed as their favorite book character for a parade- son was Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid and daughter was Eloise.  It was a fun week, but I'm exhausted.  So glad for the upcoming holidays.
