3 years: Mama running

Hi little sweet pea :)

I dropped you off at school this morning and you said you wanted to go to your old classroom, the Penguins. Aww...my poor sweetie. I told you that you were too old for the Penguins and you had the saddest look on your face. We'll go visit them when I pick you up later today.

After I dropped you off I decided that I really had to go on a run since the Bolder Boulder is a mere 3 days away and I haven't run more than 3 miles at a time since September and the Bolder Boulder is a little over 6 miles. :/ I've been pretty nervous about running because I'm afraid of re-tearing my meniscus but I got new sneakers and wanted to break them in before the race. I jogged out to the Boulder Canyon (about 3 miles) but then the hills started bothering me so I jogged and walked back home. I ended up jogging/walking for 65 minutes so things are looking good! I just hope I can keep up with marathon man your Daddy.

I love you sweetie!

-Mommie

We made the little teepee that your friend Simone got you for your birthday. Your little posse was very excited to try it out...



O trying to get in



Trying to keep Mommie out

It's warm outside again so you know what that means? Dinner on the picnic table! Ahhh...it's the best!

The Wednesday night Farmers' Market is up and running again. We went there tonight where you got to hear your favorite Zimbabwean band that you haven't seen since the summer...



Listening intently



Daddy eating a tiny little apple pie from the market...he said it tasted very "natural". Kiss of death, I tell you



Jammin' away



Mommie's delicious samosa



There was a little sun shower so Daddy let you use his handkerchief so your head wouldn't get wet.



Scared little O





After the farmers' market you wanted some ice cream so we headed over to Boulder Chill where you got chocolate frozen yogurt with m&ms



While you ate Daddy watched the Celtics play on the tv in the shop
