We have blocks with pictures on them and Seporah and I were playing “What is this?” She has a pretty good vocabulary to describe things now and she enjoys playing it. So this is what was on the blocks and what she called them:

apples “apples”
little princess “baby”
pencils “colors”
notebooks “books”

When she got to the next block which had rulers on it, she looked at it and looked at it. I could tell she had no idea what they were and I wondered if she was just going to ignore the block. But an idea flashed in her head and very confidently she said “HAT!”

I let Seporah eat raisins off the floor and the ground and I don’t even try to stop her anymore.

I let Felicity cry in the swing when I can’t seem to do anything right, sometimes for quite some time.

Seporah eats more than the recommended amount of candy by a lot (so does her mom).

Felicity has tasted ice cream.

The television plays more than 1-2 hours a day some days.

Even though I work in a demanding job, I enjoy the break from the house (and adult conversation).

I no longer try to scrub out the stains in Seporah’s shirts.

Felicity only gets 3 baths a week, but she probably needs more.

I let Seporah draw all over herself now without taking away the pen or marker, I just wash it off eventually.

When Seporah throws fits I can’t stop, she goes in her crib until she can say “sorry” and “all done,” sometimes that can take a lot longer than expected.

I’ve said “SHUT UP!” to the girls more than once.

My kitchen floor hasn’t been properly cleaned since my dad did it when he came 3 months ago.

We finished 6786 and 6787 of 13742 runners at 1:50:18. Wow, never went that far before. My left lower leg is owie, but my milk jugs are good and we’re both still alive.

It takes quite a while to sort through 7,611 songs to make a playlist for The Great Aloha Run tomorrow. Not as long as 8.15 miles will take me though.

Plenty has happened in the past week, but I’ve been so tired from it that I haven’t written anything. I guess the one thing that’s really keeping me over the top exhausted is training for a marathon. Yep you read that right, I’ve decided to run a marathon. The other 2 contributors to this site have run them, my Dad’s run them, even a co-worker who’s 5 foot nothing has run one. I better jump on the bandwagon.

But good golly am I out of shape. Last week I went about 18 miles, the majority of it walking and pushing a jogging stroller (uphill both ways in the snow) and I’m beat. The house is also being ignored and dirtier this past week than it has ever been, and no I’m not exaggerating. But anyways the anticipated date is June 7th, San Diego Rock’n’Roll Marathon. Say yeah!
