The need for speed (and sunshine)

Well we did it...we made it through a full week Monday through Friday after winter break. Back in full swing of school, homework, packing lunches, and after school activities. We felt very proud on Friday. Sometimes you have to set small goals:) We were all adjusting back to the our regularly scheduled programs. Hopefully this week we will be hopping out of bed and clicking our heels on the way out the door (a girl can dream).

It's tough to be a teacher's kid. Here is Parker sleeping on my desk one morning before the bell rang. I felt like pulling up a chair and joining him.



Certainly by Friday, we were all ready to have some fun! Tinley and I went to support the Highland Creek Hurricanes in our staff game against the middle school.


Parker and Brandon had boy time at Monster Jam. Parker was well prepared for the big noise.



They had a great time....and there is lots of talk of Gravedigger, Stonecrusher, and Monster Mutt. Lovely name choices. 


As if that wasn't enough excitement Saturday morning we went to the new(ish) out door go carting track to watch Dad and Uncle Brad. 


We have some future racers on our hands. They aren't allowed to drive one of these until they are 8 unless you have one of your own go carts. Parker asked where we can get one. Hmmm. We'll look into that.



 It did not turn out to be the best racing conditions, but I think they managed a little fun.


At least they had a cheering section.


Lately when Tinley wants to be held, Parker says he can do it. This is about what each attempt looks like. Looks comfortable.

And with the crazy turn in winter weather, it was good to get outside. Really good for Tinley who needs some outside time. Because if she doesn't have it, things inside are a little "askew." Like finding play doh in odd places and fingernail polish painted on the table and like this morning Laffy Taffy stuck in her hair.


Yes, some of us need wide open spaces and sunshine...and pumpkin pie made of sand.


We took all of our wheels for a spin today.


Already learning to drive in heels. 


May your week be speedy and bright!
