...proud to be an American

Yesterday I took the kids to a birthday party for a three year old girl at none other than...
CHUCK E CHEESE!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh, Chuck E. Cheese. In my humble opinion, the bane of American entertainment.
Is he a rat or a mouse?
So imagine, a Sunday afternoon, a RAINY afternoon at that.
Six different birthday parties all with at least 10 kids and some more.
Some grown-ups with WILD ink and piercings.
Some really cute, polite kids.
Some really cute, not-so-polite-it's-always-my-turn-kids.
All in all, it was complete mayhem.
My Eric and Paul loved and I mean LOVED it! I wanted to let Paul walk around, but in all the chaos he would have been trampled in a matter of seconds. Needless to say he was content to be on my hip most of the two and a half hours.
Amy...not so much. (That's my girl!)

Eric's first RACE!

The attached pic is of me and Eric (almost 5!) at The Man Run UTMCK annual event. He ran one mile!!!!! So proud of him.
Daddy ran with Amy and Baby Paul in the double jogger (GO SUPER DAD!) for the 5K.
What else is going on around here...Umm not too much.
Planning for Eric's campout birthday party
Teaching yoga and Pilates Tuesday mornings at my church
Living life to the fullest by enjoying Him
Paul's favorite activity is dropping anything into the toilet. My old cell phone, some Hot Wheels cars, one of Amy's bracelets and some crayons are just a few of the casualties that have ended up in the john. Sometimes clean and sometimes not (GROSS!)

Now I am pondering how these blogger couponing masteristas have time to take pictures of all of their projects, download them to the computer then post them on the blog and type a super detailed explanation of the experience! Seriously! I just read three only three blogs of some women around here in K-town who do couponing and crafting. THEY HAVE KIDS! Do they not get interrupted while on the computer. Do they just have kids who play contentedly at their mother's feet while the mom just types away and share all of her awesomeness with the world wide web?

At any rate, there are goods and bads to blogging. Good to share ideas and make this world a better place. Bad - because I tend to compare myself to others and when comparing myself to the blogging world of coupon master crafter moms, I am a total loser.

At the end of this day I am comforted by this
All too soon this life will pass, only what's done for Christ will last.
