Happy Spring!

Spring has sprung. What did you do today? Me, I ran 4.66 miles. It was supposed to be 4.5 miles, but once I got going, it just ended up being 4.66 miles. And let me just tell you, it was not quite spring out there for the run. It felt more like summer. I also realized I need to find other options for running, and it might just mean I have to drive to a destination (bike path, down by the canal). Running around where I live gets old quick. But, what a beautiful day! I couldn't have asked for anything better. Don't forget, today as the first day of spring you can go to Rita's and get your free Rita's. I myself might just go there and get one. I think I deserve one. Besides, who can say no to Rita's? Doesn't Rita's go hand in hand with springtime/summer? I know that at the end of my half marathon, there are 2 things I asked for. An Auntie Anne's gourmet pretzel in Almond, and a Rita's gelati. Anyway, here are some more pictures from the trip to Pittsburgh.

Happy Spring!

Applesauce Face...

Actually, no, not applesauce, but my sweet babes loves her some Rice Cereal. Apparently she doesn't like it when it is too thin, so I thickened it up and she then cried when her bowl was empty. I then gave her another bowl (1 tablespoon of cereal to 2 tablespoons of Formula).

She even tries to feed herself!


Here she is on one of her favorite things...the exersauser!


Hopefully this weekend I can look into getting her a swing for the back patio. And I CANNOT wait to see her in the pool. I might even look into getting this pool for where we live.

Spring

Today is the second day of spring, and what do I wake up too? Snow! I don't know about you, but I am so over wintertime. The weekend was beautiful, Makayla and I did lots of walking, a prep for what is to come when I go to work 3-11. It's not the best shift, but, it is what I need to do for my family. I found the good things that come with working it, and Makayla and I will get a lot of time together...like we used to. Also this weekend, I found out that I got into graduate school! It will be a lot of hard work, with now having to balance work, being a mom, school and home life, but, I know I can do it. When we aren't busy at work, and all the work is done, I can do some of my school work there. I can also come home and do work for a little before going to bed, but I also know I can't stay up long because my sweet little babes wakes up no later than 730. Hope you guys have a great day! It's Monday, but hopefully spring is around the corner.

But, here is a picture to remind us that spring is around the corner. This is from my parents' garden.

Happy Spring

I don't have a lot of time to blog this morning, but I wanted to share this adorable picture of Makayla before I went to work. As you can see by the picture, she is ready for spring, summer or well just better weather!

sorry for the bad picture quality, I used my camera phone.

Happy Wednesday!

Happy First Day of Spring..

Today is the first day of spring! Yay!...to bring in my fav.or.ite time of year, I wanted to let you know that Rita's opens today.

and this year, they have a new flavor...PEEPS! Yep, those little marshmellow treats are now a Rita's flavor. If get my studying finished today, AND I get to the gym...Rita's here I come! How will you bring in spring?

21 days...

Until opening day with the Iron Pigs! Penguin and I went down there to pick up our tickets yesterday for the game June 18th, for when they play the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Yankees. Yesterday was such a beautiful day and I wish the weather was going to be like this forever.

It looks like it is starting to become baseball season and that makes me so excited. Last year Penguin and I went to our first major league baseball game together, we went to a game during spring ball, we saw the LAA Angels play the Texas Rangers during Cactus league baseball. We are excited to be going to see the... and continue a fun tradition of sitting on the lawn! We didn't make any games last year, but at $6/ticket we definitely want to make it to more games! We are looking right now to see if we can go Opening Day...doesn't that sound great!

Oh, and Happy Belated St Patrick's day! Hope you wore your green. Here is a pick of Penguin and me...wearing our Luck 'O the Irish

Has spring arrived?

Did I miss the memo? Is spring here already. I saw this today while driving to the bank (it's the thermometer for my car) and immediately cracked the windows open.

Yep, you are reading that correctly, it says 50 Degrees!!! Hello spring, oh how I have missed you!

On another note, today was Penguin's first day of work which I am totally excited about, but that means it is also my turn to cook (yikes, remember last time?) I am so totally worried that I will burn dinner again. For dinner I turned to the book my sister Rockle got us for Christmas, and will be attempting to make the Salsa Chicken. Hopefully, my cooking it for the minimum time that is suggested dinner will be edible. I am going to serve it with brown rice and a salad. Here's to hoping that spring is sticking around, and that I won't ruin another meal!
