School is around the corner...

Today I spent the entire day - from sunrise to nearly sunset - planning out the homeschool year and ordering some curriculum that I was missing. I absolutely LOVE the days I get to do this! It was so much fun! I think if I had to get a job, and I could actually get a job as a homeschool planner, I would LOVE my job!!

Hannah and I went to Target for a few items, and saw some interesting things... almost picked this up for Jacob's college packet!! haha They didn't have these when I had little ones!

Chartreuse

This weekend Hannah and I were planning to go to a sort of shop (more like old buildings on an old farm estate) to shop for some vintage items and a desk. They are only open one weekend a month, so it was going to be a kind of special day. Sadly, Hannah got hit with a miserable stomach virus and we couldn't go.:( So, Danny and I made a quick trip up there today to look around, and I saw so many wonderful, timeless treasures. Can't wait to go back next month!

I ended up picking up a few of these pots for Hannah for a project she is working on.

Until next time...

Electric Run

These two dedicated dads took their sons all the way to Baltimore to run a 5K. It was an electric run which means it comes with glowy lights and all other manner of electric "stuff" and had over 15,000 runners!! It is past midnight now, and they still aren't home...

People were apparently in all kinds of costumes

Jacob and Nate before the race - Nate is Jacob's running partner! I think this is their 3rd 5K run together.

The Big FINISH!!

Afterwards they drove to Fells Point for an after-run snack at this famous hot dog joint that apparently stays open very late. They are famous for their Crab Mac'N Cheese Hog Dog - which I believe is what they got to eat. There was also some mention of fries cooked in duck fat...???

Today

Had lunch today with my friend Linda, she was treating me for my birthday. WHAT A FRIEND!!! Food was yummy but the company was even better!!

Danny made a Superman strawberry snack for Hannah this evening

And since it's Friday night, I made a honey-bun cake. Just because. And I ate some too. Ha.

Day in DC

Today we played the "tourist family" and went into DC for the day. We first went to Arlington National Cemetery, then the Iwo Jima Memorial, and then to the Air and Space Museum. It was a beautiful, non-humid day and it really was a wonderful time. There are TONS of pictures here, in no particular order, but all were "blog-worthy."
