Saturday May 21

I woke up this morning to go and clean the church.

The girls all went to bed really late and I didn't want them grumpy all day so I let them sleep.

There were tons of people there to help!

So it got done extra quick!

Came home and Dad and Port came home about 9:30.

They would have stayed longer, but Dad and I had to go to a umpire class thing for baseball.

I DO NOT want to be an umpire.......it is parent volunteers that do it, and we did not have very many show up!

We will see what happens.....I would make a very indecisive umpire!

We ran a couple errands while we were out.

When we came home Dad changed the break pads on the suburban, then left again when he realized the rotors needed replaced.

So he got that all done while the kids did their chores and I went running.

I did a long one today since I missed the last two days.

I ran 8 miles, and it felt really great!

Except that the first two miles took 45 minutes due to me fighting off dumb hawks!

It was ridiculous!!!!

Then my last mile home, I looked up to see 4 haws swirling above me.

They weren't very close, but it doesn't take them too long to swoop in, so I was very cautiously running while I was looking up :(

But it sure was a beautiful day to run!

I got sprinkled on a little bit, and the clouds were awesome!

I figured out how to do panoramic picts with my phone :)

I got home and Dad and Port went to baseball practice.

The girls and I played around taking funny pictures in the kitchen.....with the panoramic feature!

Then I finally showered and got ready and Dad took me out on a date.

We went and ate at Cheesecake factory then went to the mall and bought Dad a cubs hat to wear for the baseball games :)

Now my boys have matching hats, and I just love it so much!

We didn't stay out too late because both the girls had plans with friends.

The little ones watched 'Harry and the Henderson's' with mom and dad :)

It's a classic!
