Marathon Participants

So today was a special day for all of the student's who ran in the Mercedes Marathon. They were able to wear their marathon shirts and their medals for everyone to see.
I have to say the boys' looked so cute alldecked out. I know taht they were proud. The thing is at school they run 25.2 miles so on the marathon day they ran one mile and completed their marathon. The middle school students were able to run in the 5K. It was great to see so many students at St. Francis who participated. What an awesome thing. While many schools were there I think thatour presence was the most noticeable. I am glad that these students were able to have a special day at school to celebrate their accomplishments.
Danny had basketball practice tonight, so we were back at the school for a good portion of the night, but it is all good.

Marathon, Party & Snow!!

So today started with the Kid's Mercedes Marathon. The boys had already run 25.2 miles at school, today they had to run one mile to complete the Kid's Marathon. It was so cold and the wind was horrible. We got there at 9:30 to meet up with the school for some pictures and a prayer. It was great to see everyone because as soon as we got to where the kids started it was chaos to say the least. When the 3rd graders left the starting line I headed to the finish line. John Michael and Brandon were still waiting for the Kindergarten to race. Danny and Chandler crossed the finish line together. I was so proud of him. I have to say it was hard to let him go in downtown by himself, I even cried a little, but he did so good. Brandon and John Michael also did great. Brandon ran with John Michael and we had to laugh because now he can say he ran in a Marathon. John Michael and Danny got a medal and were so excited.

We left the Marathon and the boys' wanted Sneaky Pete's of all places. While we were inside John Michael started talking about the snow that he was seeing. We looked outside and it was actually snowing. Seriously, it was 70 when the week started, now it was 12:00 in the afternoon, 30 degrees, and worst of all was that it was snowing. The only good news was that it was not supposed to amount to anything.

After lunch we headed to Clay to get the boys' signed up for baseball. I cannot believe that it is that time of the year already. We are still in basketball and we will literally go straight from one to the other, but it is all good. We are all excited about the season starting. It is always a super busy but definitely fun time of the year.

After registering we headed to Amy and Terry's house for Sasha's 9th birthday party. It was a great party. Amy had made cupcakes and the kids decorated their own, it was a great idea and everyone seemed to love it. The kids had a blast.

Needless to say today was a very busy day. I have to say I have never been as cold as I was today it was miserable.
