Me & Nora & Hazey spent most of the day hanging out in the sunshine today. It feels so good and it's almost time for Fall. Nora showed me how she could relax & "close her eyes" to take a nap in her chair.
At 4:00 today, we headed to the Cougar Crawl Fun Run! Andlie's school reached & exceeded their goal of $14,000! Andlie raised $117 thanks to our amazing family! Haze has been looking forward to "The Festival" since last year. He speaks of it often & asks when we get to "go to that festival where we run around & there's balloons & we give people fives." Today was finally that day! (Special thanks to my friend, Katie, for the photobomb.)
Haze was totally in to it and he was giving everyone ahead of him high fives.
Hazey & Andlie both ran so far & fast when it was time for the 1st graders! They loved when they would get to give high fives! Haze made sure to hit every single person with an outstretched hand.
A couple girls (around the age of 10ish) saw that Nora was sad & asked why. When I told them she wanted to run, they volunteered and that was the end of that discussion. Nora jumped right up. So I followed. She got to run one more lap with Daddy after this one.
And then we all got popsicles and played on the playground! Yay for Cougar Crawl!
We spent the evening outside. It's just so nice! Through his giggles, Haze asked me to take his picture. And then this happened.
Ninja Andlie played on the slide.
And then Bryan took the kids to Chalk the Block down at Riverwoods while I went to another birthday dinner with Kenzie! We had so much fun talking & reminicsing and were gone for 2 hours! So thankful for wonderful friends and laughter. What fun birthday gifts!
