The Lion King

The weekend was spent up north celebrating Grandpa's birthday. It was such beautiful weather!

On a mission to get to the swingset

LEAVES!!

Running the rows of corn

Hey girlie! 

Hey - she's on a log

The morning started off with an outdoor run for me and a nice stroller ride/nap for the kids.  I was cruising along and not even feeling tired 25 minutes into it when my knee started to tinge with pain.  Not too big of an issue so I kept going. BAD idea. I ended up HAVING to walk home and that took a LONG time. Once home I iced the heck out of my knee and I hope it's fine tomorrow.  I still don't know what causes it to happen when I run, but it does, EVERY time.  Always my left knee.  I think it has something to do with the slope of the roads, but I can't be certain.

The day also consisted of a LOT of outside time.  Mw is finally getting to the point where he doesn't put everything in his mouth right away.  He ended up chasing a ball around the backyard. Mk was trying to keep it from him out of jealousy and he thought it was a game she was playing.  It worked out nicely for me. I spent this time sitting in a chair with an ice pack on my knee, haha.

We went out shopping this evening and I was able to get us a copy of "The Lion King". I used a $5 off coupon on the already discounted price and we got a free poster ($19.99 value).  It's a pretty cool poster, it's not paper and it's one of those that "moves" when you do. Sometimes toys-r-us can have some good deals.  Not often, but sometimes! I'll be saving the movie until Christmas rolls around. I also purchased my niece's birthday presents. I love checking things like that off my list. I purchased Mk's Halloween costume too. It was the last Rapunzel with a wig that they had. Good think I got it, she's been insistent on the Rapunzel costume for 2 weeks, so I figured she REALLY wanted it.

Now, let's talk about all the things I want for x-mas for myself MK. The princess aisle is amazing, they have piggy paint on clearance in the kids' makeup section, they have a Disney dance accessories section (bags, slippers, tutus, leg warmers), and they also had really cute cable knit leg warmers in the makeup aisle.  I was SO tempted to get some for Makena.  They are SO cute!  It's really hard to resist buying that kind of stuff. I wanted to crazy getting things for Mk's birthday and Christmas, but I didn't get anything for her besides the costume.  I was kind of proud of myself.

Nothing else to report for the day.
