Day 116: Walkathon!

yea! The walkathon is finally here. Skylar and Bryce were able to raise $375 collectively for their school. Bryce had his MDO walkathon yesterday but since big sis' is today, he gets to party twice. This was one of the pics posted on the school's Facebook page and I just love it!

He's such a stinker. After mom's night last night and then the kids getting up super early, I'll be honest and say, I was not really looking forward to this day. There's a lot of work that goes into getting the kids there and keeping them together etc, that I was just not really feeling it. But I'll tell ya what - I am SO glad I came because it was tons of fun and the kids had a blast! Skylar stayed right next to her brother for the majority of the time and would proudly introduce me to anybody she could. She seemed a bit hesitant at first when one of her friends sprayed her with a water gun but after a few minutes she was soaked from head to toe and loving it. I felt like I was taking a trip down memory lane since this was my old school, doing the same things I did when I went there. It's just a weird feeling now seeing my kids go through it. Here's some pics of the fun.

 One thing I noticed too was that Skylar is popular. I'm not saying this because I'm bias but because upper classman would walk past her and call out "oh, hey Skylar" and then walk on. It's not surprising since she makes her presence known but I was still just amazed by it all. Once they were soaked to the bone, they grabbed lunch and we headed home. But first...

Milkshakes!! I was just so proud of them and we had such a good day that I felt we should celebrate. They didn't complain and came right home for nice long naps. Well, not entirely true. Skylar napped. Brycen cried. And cried. And cried some more. But then we went to swim practice and out to dinner with friends. So it all ended on a good note..
