Run Lauren, Run!

Friday, April 30 was Child of God's Race for Education.  The kids have one hour to run as many 1/4 mile loops as they can.  They asked for donations from family and friends to help support them.  Shawn and I were there to help cheer on our little runner!

They started off by stretching - don't want to pull anything!

And they're off!

Here she comes around the first time!

At the end with Charlotte - Lauren ran 11 laps - 2.75 miles!

We are so proud of you Lauren!

That night Shawn was going to be gone, so I wanted to plan something fun for the kids.  I made homemade fish sticks (yes, homemade!) and for dessert we made a banana pudding.  They helped make the dessert which they loved!  Now Lauren's only had vanilla wafers and Cool Whip - imagine that, but Aidan ate the pudding and bananas too.

Wow buddy, that's a big bite!

Good stuff!

After our dinner and dessert we watched Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squekquel.  They've seen the commercials for it and really wanted to watch it, but I didn't know if they'd sit for the whole movie.  So they both got their sleeping bags and cuddled up in my bed and what do you know, they watched the whole thing!  They giggled so hard at some of the parts - it was so cute!  We had a fun night!

Thanks for reading! 

Love,
