Colorful Fun

This past week Daddy was in Winston- Salem at work.  We stayed home and held down the fort while he was putting in some really long hours being awesome.

Here the boys are on Monday morning watching a movie in bed.  Gavin doesn’t have school so once Bradley is off to school some days we get to chill in the mornings.  Once these two are at each others throats though I high tail it out the door because there is no sense in being home!

I did awful at taking pictures this week.  Only on my phone and they are not updating currently.  Probably a storage issue.  Every time I turn around I don’t have enough storage.  This seems to be the story of my life.  I need more available SPACE! If only :) Anyways, above is the cutest smiley picture.  LOL, I wonder if Easton can see?! Bradley was getting ready on Friday morning to turn his leprechaun trap in at school so we had to document our masterpiece.  Good thing too because it was wrecked by the time I picked him up.  He said no one caught the leprechaun that day because he is too quick and too clever even though he wrote them a note and said all their traps were very impressive.  Bradley loved the leprechaun visiting his class.  He even tied up Mrs.. Lingerfeldt his assistant teacher and all the kids had to work together to get her untied. 

After somehow surviving the week. On Friday, we headed to Winston- Salem to meet Daddy there.  I had signed up for a 5K race with Laura and it just worked out that Brad was there.  He just extended his hotel room for a night.  We got there and were right in downtown WS.  It is a pretty neat city with lots of character and history.  We ate dinner on Friday with Brad’s boss and Doc Johnson and his wife Mary. They love the boys and they boys love them right back. I should have gotten a picture but what mom thinks of that in a restaurant at 7 at night with three kids.

Saturday morning it was time to run! Laura and Jordan are behind me in the blue shorts and socks.  Brad and the boys watched me run by at the yellow color point and then saw me at the finish line.

It was pretty cool.  They had music blasting at each color.  There was yellow, blue, green, purple and orange.  I may have lost count, there may have been more.  There were about 10 people squirting and throwing color on all the people running through.  Some was in powder and some was liquid color. I definitely did not get bored on this run like I have when left on my own to run!

I ended up helping Laura some with the kids.  I am glad I did not have any of mine in the race. It was an amazing experience but you do get pretty filthy and I would not want to clean all of that off the boys. 

Laura and I – FINISHERS!!

 

Rubbing my color on him and embarrassing him at the same time.  I love it!!

The after party color explosion! I took Bradley and Gavin in with me and let them throw the color up. 

The whole DZK colorplasty crew.  I was the odd one out but I’m glad Brad and the boys weren’t in it with me and were just my supporters for the morning! Not quiet sure why I am such a dork either but hey, whatever.  I must of had a runners high or something. 

 

After that we took the kids to The Children’s Museum of Winston Salem.  I attempted to clean myself up and off we went.  They were such good sports and we wanted to treat them to something. 

I loved all the cute sayings posted here and there. These were in the story section.

 

Climbing the beanstalk.

 

Bradley is a man on a mission and so independent these days.  He goes off on his own and doesn’t really mind when he doesn’t know where we are.  oh my!

I know my boys love donuts but Bradley stayed here for like 15 minutes making fake donuts!

 

It was a wonderful weekend.  We got home on Saturday evening to Gavin with pink eye and a little fever today now.  We have been taking care of him and now getting ready for another week in the life of us!
