Friday Favorites

By
This has been a bit of a trying week. We have had a ton going on (and a lot of last minute changes to all those plans) and I am dealing with some annoying issues getting our mailbox replaced... but that's another story. I'm actually really ready for this week to end. We did have some good times too, though and those are important to remember.

Saturday started off with cheering on the Knights. I think we don't even have to discuss how that game turned out... but it wasn't pretty. I'm still a Knights fan though and we will still continue to represent wearing our black and gold.


I also started working on the tutu for Kenzie's Halloween costume this weekend. Grandma is working on helping me make an apron to go over it and Kenzie is going to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. It was my favorite movie growing up (and still is). I can't wait for the day I can show it to her. I know she may not be quite as intrigued as I was, but it will still be something special for me to share with her. Now, to find a cute enough way to dress up Will as Toto and we are set!


I love these two. We went on a walk Saturday evening after dinner and decided to let Kenzie ride in her car. Well, on the way back it lost a wheel. That keeps happening for some reason. So, Kenzie got an impromptu mechanics lesson from Daddy on the way home. She was so in to helping him fix the car. It was very adorable. The did fix the car and Kenzie was able to finish her driving lesson.


Kenzie's new obsession is using the baskets at Winn Dixie. I have to argue with her if there is too much for us to buy that it won't fit in the cart. She gets so excited. She also loves to put the items on the belt... now if I could just get her to get a job so she can pay. Haha!


Kenzie is definitely my daughter. If you ever can't find her right under your feet in the house... check her room. She is likely in there reading away. I can't even get her to come out of there most of the time. She usually asks for me to join her and read with her. I love watching her love of reading continue to grow. I hope she never grows out of that.


Comfort food... enough said. And yes... I ate all of that for breakfast on Wednesday.


We are finally getting cool enough outside to play in the afternoons. The sweat all over my child would lead you to believe it is not cool enough, but for Florida, 85 degrees is good. She has been loving our outside time this week. I have to admit that I cheat and sit in a chair in the driveway so that I don't have to be standing. Too much standing makes my ankles swell for the remainder of the day. Pass.


What were your favorite weekly moments?

Baseball, Birthdays, Picnics and Paintings

Whew! I'm tired. That's nothing unusual though. We had another big weekend. We started our weekly Spring Happenings list on Friday. Initially we planned on doing our Friday plans on Saturday but then Kenzie had a school friend's birthday come up so we decided to make some last minute changes. Friday afternoon Steven came home a bit early and we headed out to UCF to take in a baseball game. We have now hit up football, basketball, and baseball with the kids. They like all sports so far... though Will's first question when we mention a sporting event is always about popcorn. The kid has a popcorn problem. We love watching our kids be able to run around our alma mater's campus. It is just so cool. We love that we get to live close and go back to visit all the time as well as take in various activities and sports on campus. I'm hoping we get them so excited about UCF that they follow in our footsteps one day... though they can choose whatever they want. Except USF...

Friday Favorites: Summer Bucket List Edition

By
This week's Friday Favorite isn't a product we love but rather our long anticipated (in our family) Summer Bucket List. This is something we have been doing for about 3 years running now. We sometimes keep a running bucket list of sorts for fall and spring too. We also always have an advent calendar of activities for the month of December. I think the summer list is my favorite though. Summer is a favorite season around this house. It means pool time, beach time, and a lot of other fun things that happen like Vacation Bible School and swimming lessons. This year we have a few new things and some oldie but goodies. Technically we have quite a bit of time until summer officially begins, but we are so excited for summer that we decided to make the list now. We also decide to start summer post Memorial Day so our activities will begin in about 6 weeks. We are super excited to have a few new things this year as well as keeping a couple of things that we didn't get around to ...

13 Weeks to 13 Miles! OUC Orlando Half Marathon Training: Week 7

By
This is it. This is officially the middle week of the 13 weeks to 13 miles training plan. It's the odd man out week. It is also the week after our rest week and the week that things really start to pick up speed. We have mostly done overall low mileage weeks up until this point topping out at 13 miles which is overall less than the half marathon... by a measly .1 mile but that mileage was all divvied up over 3 runs so it's definitely not the same. Now we start ramping up and we don't slow down until the week before the race when we essentially taper. This week is an overall 15 miles and by the end, we will top out at 22 weekly miles. Eek. We can do it! I know we can. I hope. Haha! Tuesday Plan: 4 Miles, Actual: 4 Miles Whew! Another run in the books. This one was probably one of the worst ones so far. Not because I didn't run okay. I was actually fine for most of the run. I kept my 1:1 intervals and paced about 13:30 without too many outliers as far as timing goes. ...
