Zoo run
Today we had the zoo run. It's a pretty big event in St. Louis. It involved the kids getting up before 6am ( no small feet when they sleep till 8am)
It was such a fun (hot) day. The kids had to walk a ton before the race even started. I ran the 5k. I ran 26 something. I had VERY tired legs. I had ran 12 miles before. I had to get it in before my half marathon next weekend. That is my running priority now. So I just did a faster jog.
We entered the kids in the 1 mile timed competitive race. They were really supposed to do the 1/4 of mile for kids 6 and under. But, we thought that was a waste of time. Both kids pushed hard and did great.
After the race we got food at the zoo and did a few things. On the way home we took the kids to Ted Drewes for Ice Cream. Yummy! We went to the original location which is not in a good part of town. Nothing like being asked for money and smokes (ha).
We sure had a fun day
The picked out ice cream in baseball helmets. Baron wants to collect them all!

Summer break
Summer break is off to a great start! Fun! They went to Chuck E Cheese with friends on Thursday. Then on Friday we had a picnic and went on a bike ride. Amelia loves her new bike she got for her birthday.
The kids rode over 3 miles. We saw lots of wildlife. Stopped at the dog park ( of course) and we stopped at the playground. It was so hot!! Afterwards we had to stop at quik trip for drinks.
The kids have just been playing great together. No fighting and just doing there own thing. I thought they would be wore out. Nope they came home for hours more of bike riding, skating, and tractor driving.
Baron also had meet the teacher night for summer school. He is so excited. I had a hard time getting him to leave the classroom. He goes on Tuesday. Amelia and I are really going to miss him. He is so ready for school. But, it was so hard to pass up this excellent program our school district has. We got him all set up with money on his lunch card to get milk ( he wants to bring his lunch) and since it's summer they can get a Popsicle too. It's like half fun half school. Baron has always loved school so I hope it continues. Each week is a theme sports, pirate, Hawaiian, and another I can't remember. It's the first time in 5 years he has been away for a full day!
The kiddos made rally squirrel hats!

Last day of school
The kiddos finished school today. I should of got pictures of them with their teachers. It was such a great year! They both hit the
Jackpot and had excellent teachers. Amelia will have her same teacher next year. I'm not sure how she is going to make it 3 months without seeing Ms Carolyn.
Baron has always did excellent in school. But, he has just learned so much and is more then ready for school. He tells time ( digital and regular, does addition , multiplication, subtraction, counts to 200, write really well, knows and can write all letters and numbers, starting to read small words. We are going to really work with him over the summer so he doesn't forget stuff. His teachers just went above and beyond to work with him
We have lots of fun stuff planned for the summer. We are all very excited. At the same time it's kind of bittersweet. The kids have been playing well together. They really are best friends. The are both a little sad that they won't be at the same school next year. I have told them its only for a year. And as much as baron loves school it will be weird having him gone all day.

Practice and more practice
Baron pretty much loves to be busy all day. He is such a worker bee. He has been know to go pick weeds for over an hour. Give him a job and he does perfect
He also loves to play sports and ride bikes. At 8:30 this morning he asked to go outside and play baseball catch. How could I say no to him wanting to get better at things.

Mother's Day
I had a wonderful day today. I woke up early and went on a nice run at Grant's trail. It's my favorite place ever!! Then I stopped by Target to get a plastic tote. I had an organization item I wanted to do
Then I came home to two happy kids and a hubby that cooked me Breakfest. My second for the day as I ate before I ran. Ha! The kids had made me wonderful handmade gifts at school. Then they loved the gift giving so much they kept making new gifts and giving them to me. These were their prized items. A few stuffed animals and an American girl doll. They always put jewels on it for me. So sweet ( of course I did put their stuff back in the rooms)
Then we just played around the house. Also Baron had baseball practice. It was so fun as his coach had a mom against son kickball game. Wow those boys are athletic. I'm still a little bummed that kids got me out twice.
Also, the kids and Nolan took me out for awesome ice cream. Gotta live Maggie Moo's.
Also , Baron fixed Amelia's hair for me. He actually does a good job. Then he helped dress/pick out an outfit for her. Of course for 90 degree weather he picked out a brown and orange fall fancy dress with hot pink leggings. But, it was perfect in my book!!
Candle holder
Notice the tag he made for this "gift"
The only thing that would of made the day better would of been if my mom was closer.
