Y'all know that I am just more naturally inclined to sell baked goods than I am to run 2+ miles, right? So I stuck with what I knew. Steve did what he does best. (Physically exerting himself while making it look easy and enjoyable)
After the fun run (a couple of spouses looked like puking was imminent after all of that "fun"), everyone socialized and bought goodies (maple butter french toast muffins with BACON on top, holy whoa, our FRG leader can BAKE). I had a great time. Mostly because I wasn't forced to run. And also because there was iced coffee. Not gonna lie about my motives there. But I enjoyed getting to meet the new people that Steve is working with.
This was a big money-maker for the FRG's and people were allowed to make a $5 donation to run in jerseys or other non-PT clothes. Obviously, we took full advantage of the $5 and rocked our Auburn-wear. (First game of the season on Saturday! War Eagle!)
It is painfully obvious that we might never take a successful family photo.
After taking a few pictures, Sam had a legitimate meltdown and Molly somehow managed to sleep on the way home despite his erratic screaming and face-slapping. (Yes, he slaps HIMSELF in the face. Like that will somehow anger me. By all means son, slap away!) Despite it only being 9:45 in the morning, I chucked the little monster in bed and he is still sleeping after two and half hours.
Also? Molly slept til 4:57 this morning and around here, that is sleeping in!!! I was so thrilled with her perfect timing. (Was getting up at 5 anyway.) Now I'm hopped up on coffee and am on Cloud 9 with the simultaneous napping that is going on here right now. I feel like I can do anything; grocery shop at the commissary on payday? Clean the house? Do the laundry? Run 2 miles? Ok let's not get overzealous here. I'll probably start with a little nap..
Haha! It looks like you both had fun doing what you do best :) I never consider running fun, so I would have been right next to you selling baked goods. Yea for Molly sleeping in!!!! And don't worry, we aren't very successful at getting a good family picture either :) Thankfully my little ones are in the "look at me" phase :)
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo for sleeping! I love your family portraits. I actually think kids posing perfectly in pictures all the time is kind of creepy. I much prefer the wriggling, trying to escape kind of pictures.
ReplyDeleteLOL this post is so funny!!!
ReplyDeleteI miss being in an actual unit (ready for kyle to be done with school lol), the fun runs and family days were the best! Great pictures. :)
ReplyDeletethose cupcakes sound AMAZEBALLS!!!! and shopping at the commissary on payday is fun! said no one. EVER.
ReplyDeletemaple butter french toast muffins with BACON on top? STOP IT! BLATE FOOD RIGHT THERE!
ReplyDeleteTell Molly those thigh are about to make my ovaries lose their mind (oh,yes, apparently my ovaries have minds now, I'll just go with it...)
And, no joke, I almost aspirated my beer (yep, drinking in the afternoon, this is how I roll when I have a day off and can have lunch at my favorite restaurant) when I read that bit about Sam's self-slapping.
This looks like y'all had a good deal!
ReplyDeleteFamily photos are totally overrated right? Haha
Ooooh fun! I'd so rather do baked goods then run as well. I'm just lazy! And a 2 mile run just seems very not fun.
ReplyDeleteDavid always pays to not wear the PTs too!
And he really slaps himself?! Poor Sam. That's just silly!
Looks like a fun time. And the muffins with bacon on top - woah, I totally need that recipe! That would be WAY better than running 2 miles. Glad your kiddos slept at the same time - that would definitely equal nap time for momma! :)
ReplyDeleteWoooooo fun run! Glad you all got to enjoy some family time together! Love the pics. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah man.. My kind of run for sure. :) looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou always make me smile or laugh!!! Hehehe to the family picture lol
ReplyDeleteI came over here to see how you did with the fun run lol and you were selling baked goods!!!???
Hahahaha you're my kinda friend lol
Love how Steve was running and pushing the babies lol, too cute!! Now he knows what it is like when you do the groceries hehe
