Happy President's Day!

This morning, Beau had the opportunity to attend the temple. Lucky him! I will get to go next month. It's been so long since the 2 of us have attended together. Maybe when Abi's old enough to babysit we'll get to go together again. So, in about another 6 years??

For the past 3 years, on President's Day, I ran in the 8 mile Great Aloha Run in Honolulu, HI. I even ran it the year that I had Zachary at the beginning of January. He wasn't even 6 weeks old, and yet, I still ran the race. I miss Hawaii so much, especially now that I can't run outside during the winter months. So, in honor of the Great Aloha Run, I ran 8 miles this morning on the treadmill. I had Fox and Friends on the TV, and Eliza in her carseat to keep me company, but it just wasn't the same. :) The upside is, I finally finished 8 miles under 60 minutes! It's so easy to run 7 minute miles on the treadmill! I came so close last year, finishing the GAR in 61 minutes.

When Beau returned from the temple, I left shortly after to get my hair cut. I usually only cut my hair once every couple of years, but since I cut it short, the ends are very noticeable when they get yucky. I have really enjoyed having my hair short. Everett asks me quite frequently when my hair is going to get long again.

While I was gone, the boys should have had quiet time, a.k.a a nap. I failed to tell Beau, and so when I got home, everyone was still wide awake. I was less than thrilled, because I knew I would be dealing with grumpy boys in a couple of hours. Sure enough, this is what happened during dinner at 5pm........














I let him sleep for about 15 minutes, and that gave him enough energy to make it until 7pm. I put them to bed an hour early. Yay!

Oh, and here's my haircut. Still looks the same. Only the yucky ends are missing.
