This past week was a busy one, with something planned everyday. It's made for tired children though, which means they've been taking longer naps than they usually do.

Thursday, I decided to take them to our local library for the (free!!) story time they offer for 0-2 year olds. I wasn't sure what to expect, and was a little nervous about taking them by myself. I figured if it got too hectic, we could just leave. The first 30 minutes consisted of reading and singing while sitting in a circle, and then they got to play for the last 30 minutes. Addison and Fischer did pretty well, but they were definitely intrigued by all the new things around them, including a very old stove that was in the room. I'm assuming the room was an old break room or something like that, and Fischer somehow managed to turn on this stove. It smelled so bad (like heat that hasn't been turned on in years), and even caused the Librarian to stop reading and ask if something was burning. I guess he just wanted everyone to notice the new family at story time! They meet every Thursday morning, so I think we'll try it again and see how it goes.

Friday morning, we had a make up gym class for Addison and Fischer since we missed last week's class. They had a great time, as usual. And to make it even better, Scott got to go with us this time! He hadn't been since their very first class, so he got to see how good they've gotten at the structured portion of class, and how much they now enjoy it! 

Saturday morning was another busy one! We had to get going a little earlier than normal because we were running in our local 5k. We got there at 7:50 to sign in, then we had to wait around in the cold until it was time to start. Scott pushed the stroller the whole way, and still finished in just 31 minutes! I wasn't too far behind them at around 35 minutes. It turns out that Scott even placed 2nd in his age bracket, which is awesome! Unfortunately, Addison and Fischer didn't enjoy themselves as much... they cried throughout the entire race. They were fine as soon as they got out of their stroller though, and had fun running around and eating some yummy snacks.

Here we are at the finish line...


Today we are just relaxing, and having fun celebrating Scott's birthday!!
