Rodeo break

Here in AZ, Rodeo Days are such a big deal that we get 2 days off of school which I think is funny that it is more important than presidents Day but what do I know. I love having the days to sleep in though and not worry about homework for the kids. So here is what we did over our break:
Thursday night Caitlin had her friend Anne come over. They have been begging for a sleep over and us moms felt they are still to young so we had a "pretend" sleep over. Anne came over around 5. I thought they would want to watch a movie but they had more fun just playing dress-up and barbies.
Friday night Camerons friend, Chris, from school came over for an actual sleep-over. This was the first time that Cameron has had a friend do that. He was soooo excited! They mostly played wii, chased each other around the house and ate junk food. I don't think there was much sleeping involved though. I went to bed around 11 and they were still up talking and when I got up at 6 they had been up for awhile already
Saturday morning, time for another 5k. This is the 4th one that I have done now. I actually really like doing them, it's a good distance and a fun group to run with each time. Hopefully, I can get better each time. When I got home I took the kids up to the clubhouse for some rodeo activities that they had. The lines were all really long and it was so windy out. Cameron did have fun riding the mechanical bull and he did pretty good. They did some jumping castles, went in the mini petting zoo and had some yummy shaved ice.
Sunday we woke up to snow on our car, which is so crazy to see but so fun. I hope it is still there when the rest of the kids wake up so we can have a snowball fight-ha!
This was very wordy and I can't believe the weekend is already over:( at least spring break is right around the corner.

where has the time gone

I haven't checked my blog in forever. I was just looking at a bunch of posts from the past year and I miss blogging. I guess I have gotten sucked into the facebook but my goal for 2011 is to start back up with the blogging and less facebooking:) So..... if you see me, ask when I am going to update. I need to be held accountable friends! It is so fun to look back at old posts and see the kids and read the funny things they said or did.
