After her friend left, The Princess texted me this photo and asked if it could be the picture of the day.  Two besties hanging out together...

P365 - 2014 - Day 217 - a workout

These running shoes have been getting a workout this summer.  From my 125 mile challenge in June to starting to train for the LBI 18 mile in July.  I am in the third week of the training schedule and I am ready to put it out to the universe.... I AM running the 18 mile this year.  The kids may all be at soccer tournaments and I may not have a cheering section (unless I can recruit some....?) but I am doing it.  I think I can.... I think I can... ;)

P365 - 2014 - Day 216 - quit planning and just paint

P365 - 2014 - Day 216 - quit planning and just paint

For the extreme planner and over-thinker I tend to be I make myself laugh sometimes when I do things like this....  Let me start by saying that I have wanted to paint this hutch for YEARS and never tackled it.  Then last night I walked into a store that had some great paint on sale and, voila, this morning with an empty quiet house, I dismantled, unscrewed hinges and doorknobs and started painting.  Further proof that sometimes in life you just need to close your eyes and jump...or quit "planning" and just paint.  It is still slightly a work in progress.  I am waiting for it all to dry and then I need to seal it and put everything back together. But I was just excited to see this start coming together that I had to get a picture.  I loveeeeeee it!!!!

P365 - 2014 - Day 215 - belated and ... early... Happy Birthday to us!

It was a rainy day at the beach... but it turned it pretty good.  I managed to "run between the rain drops" for my 7 mile run this morning and even though our beach plans fell through our friends still met us for dinner at the Old Causeway (which I have been wanting to try for months).  The kids all went with friends, so it was just the four of us out for dinner to celebrate my belated and my friend's early birthday.  It was great food with great friends!  Happy Birthday to us!

P365 - 2014 - Day 214 - under the weather

The Boy was feeling under the weather (and not such nice weather that it was...) so he and I missed the Coquina Jam.  The Bear and The Princess went down wit ha friend to work the Generation Dream table and watch the surfers.  The Boy rested in bed all day to sleep off the ick he was feeling.  I took the time to catch up on my book.

P365 - 2014 - Day 213 - water park

P365 - 2014 - Day 213 - water park

We met friends at the water park today for our school pass day.  The kids had a blast on the flowrider, the slides, the lazy river, and the mini golf course for hours while the moms got to hang out.  That is my kind of day at the water park.  I had a great time with these ladies and the kids are wiped out.  Great day!

P365 - 2014 - Day 212 - lemonade and a good book

P365 - 2014 - Day 212 - lemonade and a good book

This is what it looks like when we get back from the beach.... (when they are not arguing over who gets in the outside shower first that is..)  The Princess had practice so we headed back from the beach and I started dinner while they hung in the backyard waiting for their turn in the shower.  Some lemonade and a good book make the wait go faster.  :-)
