Paces 4 Pink
At the beginning of October, I ran in a local 5K race that raised money for breast cancer awareness & research. It was a wonderful morning for a run, although a bit muggy. This race was somewhat smaller than other local races we've done (only about 200 runners), so I actually ended up placing 2nd in my age division and 17th overall! I loved having my family come out to support me. After the race, the kids enjoyed playing on the train car that sits in our downtown depot.
Cousin Time
One weekday in October, I babysat my sweet nephews Isaiah and Noah. Adley and I loved our time with these two boys! We ate some yummy snacks...
jammed out on the piano...
decorated some jack-o-lanterns...
...and learned to play air hockey! I was surprised that Adley could actually hit the puck at least occasionally. These two were a pretty good match-up with how patiently they played together. :) After this time with Isaiah, Adley got on a hockey obsession and would walk up to the table every day, saying "aw-key, aw-key, aw-key" repeatedly until someone in the family would agree to play with her!
Adley and Noah (only 4 months apart) got into some cousin shenanigans under the table. :)
What a fun cousin day!
Lego Amusement Park
On the same day that our family visited the Oil Ranch this month, Jaden and Cody came home and spent the afternoon creating their own amusement park, of sorts, out of Legos. Their ideas were so creative!
