Happy Leprechaun Day!

Happy Leprechaun day! You didn't know it was today did you? You thought it was March 17? Well your wrong!

March 17 was St. Patrick's Day. That is the day your children go to school wearing green, so other children won't pinch them. Or, if you're like my son you make sure it is green underwear, so no body knows you have green on and if they pinch you, you can pinch them back.

St. Patrick's Day is also the day my children learn about the 3 small leaflets on a shamrock and what they represent: The three parts of the Holy Trinity. "First is God the Father, then Jesus, His only Son, and the Holy Spirit together as One." Yep, that's what my children learned at their school on St. Patrick's Day.

My children didn't learn about any leprechauns at their school on St. Patrick Day. The good thing about a Christian school is there is no talk about funny little elves with hidden gold, a fat jolly old soul called Santa Clause, or a fine furry friend known as the Easter Bunny! Your children wind up learning about those at home!

So, yesterday when my son woke up he happened to ask me when was Leprechaun Day. He ran to the calendar and found St. Patrick's day in March and Easter in April. My mouth nearly dropped, because I was like you and thought that Leprechaun day had already past. I quickly reminded myself, I am a good mom and a good mom would never have forgotten an important holiday such as Leprechaun Day. After all, our fine little elfish friends bring gold foiled chocolate coins and place them all over the living room floor while your children build little traps the night before to try and catch the little imps. My children kept pressing me for an answer as to when the leprechauns come and I had to think quick and try to remember what day was Leprechaun Day. Oh, then I remembered (with a mischievous grin) and frankly stated: "Tomorrow, it's tomorrow!" Oh, I was so happy my son reminded me of such an important day.

So as it was, Leprechaun Day wound up being today, and we woke up and gold foiled chocolate coins were found all over our front room floor! No leprechauns were captured, thank goodness. So hurray for the leprechauns and hopefully mom will remember those important days in the future.

My 1st Half Marathon of 2013!

-

I ended 2012 with a GAIN (weight that is) but I started 2013 with a BANG and ran a half marathon yesterday (well 15.1 miles actually)! And my children both ran a 10K (6.2 miles). I am so proud they run with me. The race was inside the Olympic oval which was fun to see. I love my BLING (below). My next half marathon is in 19 days! It will be a FUN run and I cannot wait to run it. I ran 6 half marathons last year and I hope to run even more this year. I ran 2 miles more than a half marathon because the line to turn in the timing chip was long. Funny thing about it is my friend knew she was two laps behind me. Because I kept running so did she. She was so mad when she found out she could have stopped earlier.  After the race my daughter passed out cold. I think she is ready for a day of rest after 3 days of snowboarding and a day of running.

Fun in Florida at Walt Disney World!

My children and I spent nine days in Florida at Walt Disney World with my best friend. We had fun, but it is good to be back in the dry heat! My children and I cannot stand the humid weather! The last time I was in Walt Disney World was 15 years ago. I loved it. I decided it is far too big of a place when you have small children. Disneyland is so much better for the young ones because it is smaller.
