Proud of my Boys!

We had a happy and proud Labor Day!!!! Daddy ran his first 5K race at Fowler Park and did so great!!! He ran the whole thing and did it in great time! It was so fun to stand there with the kids waiting to see him cross the finish line! Jack and Lucy were cheering so loud! Daddy reached out to give Jack a high-five before he crossed the finish line! SUCH a happy morning!!! After the 5K race was over, it was time for the kiddos to line up for their 1K race! Jack seemed excited about his race (He also made sure that I knew that this was his SECOND race..since he had just participated in the Magnolia Run with the family last weekend!!)
I was out in front to take a picture of the kids lined up, and when they said "Go!" Jack TOOK OFF! He ran right past me so fast! Lucy ran a few feet but then got kind of bored! Thank goodness Stacey was there to take off after the kids! Lucy and I looped back to the front so we could see them finish the race! Jack came running around the corner with a big smile on his face! He ran the whole thing and was so proud! They even gave the kids a medal when they finished!
What a fun morning! We spent the rest of the day pretty quiet... it was raining and everyone was tired (Well, Daddy's knee was hurting, Mommy's tummy didnt feel good and we were pretty worthless! Ha!) We did manage to pull all the Fall decorations out (Jack had been begging to get everything out, so we finally started in the late afternoon!) The kids had the best time pulling out all their Fall/Halloween books and helping pick spots for our decorations!
As I mentioned in the last post, this was truly a happy weekend!!! Feeling blessed!
