Spring Forward!

I'm actually really looking forward to Springing Forward an hour this year, why, because we've started a group of us gals running on Wednesday evening at 5:30 pm around town for 3 miles and when we did our first run last Wednesday by the time we were done it was a little darker than I'd probably like! So when we go out today there shouldn't be any issues with it getting dark on us!

 

Ben has even started running, he managed to run twice last week but has yet to run at all this week. We will see how this running thing goes for him.

 

Mallory is being a big girl and now willingly (well pretty close) sleeping in her own bed at night. We've battled back and forth with this for a year now since taking down her crib and converting it to a full size bed so Ben's parents would have a better place to sleep when they visit. But that's meant a lot of her sleeping with us or her having to fall asleep in our bed and us moving her to her bed, or us fighting her to stay in her bed or me having to lay down in her bed with her till she fell asleep, but we've been well over a week now of her climbing herself in her bed and getting under the covers and then just going to sleep. Yipee! I feel like I've gained back an hour of my life in the evenings!

 

This past weekend was a weekend at home with nothing major planned. I attempted cleaning and laundry, which is just never ending, and then Bean and I went grocery shopping and got back a little after lunch. Ben was helping dad with some new auto steer or some kind of gps device on his tractor all afternoon so I was planning on Shrimp Boil for dinner so I just packed that up and we fixed it at mom and dads and all ate together.

 

Sunday was WINDY! Warm but windy, we spent the bulk of the day helping mom and dad pick up limbs and wood from the field at Memaws where they logged and drug out trees and well, it was a mess, so we literally picked up sticks most of the morning and early afternoon. Wouldn't have been so back if the wind wasn't blowing 30 mph. Good ab workout I suppose, up down up down up down.

 

Then, we got in the hot tub and Ben and Mallory napped while I ran to Clarksville to pick up the sandbox I had found for her on Craigslist for her birthday!

 

Now back to the grind of another week!
