Three Things Thursday

1) Chilly 4-k Field Trip

 

Tuesday morning this was the temperature

 

as I left the warm heated seats in my car to load a bus

 

with a bunch of 4 year-olds to visit a local corn maze!

 

Brrrr!

 Once we were there

 

and I was chasing trying to keep up with

 

my four year old

 

and one other that was assigned to me

 

it wasn't so bad.

 

my field trip buddies

Aidan was excited that I was able to come

 While in the corn maze

 

we had to hunt for the alphabet

 

because the farm animals stole them

 

and hid them there.

 

Aidan was on the hunt for an 'A'

 

and look what we were able to find!

 

proud to have found HIS 'A'

 After spending some time in the corn maze

 

we went on a wagon ride,

 

had a snack,

 

got to play some games,

 

and pick little pumpkins.

 

Aidan was pretty proud of his little pumpkin.

 It was chilly but in the end

 

we didn't care

 

because we were having fun!

 

having fun at the corn maze/farm

Aidan loved the farm but I think one of the highlights for him

 

was riding a BIG bus!

 

The 4-K kids ride a little bus

 

to and from school

 

so this was a first for him.

 

Riding on the BIG bus

 

 

 2) Time for winter running apparel

 

The temps have really started to drop

 

making it necessary

 

to dress warmer when we run outside.

 

For our run on Tuesday afternoon

 

I had to bring out:

 

hats (for Tim and Aidan),

 

my headband,

 

gloves,

 

and my fleece-lined long sleeve shirt.

 

I do have to admit

 

that even when we have to bundle up

 

I still enjoy running in the cold

 

way more

 

than running in the heat.

 

It can be hard to get out there

 

but in the end

 

I am always

 

happy that I did.

 

Having great running buddies helps too!

 

Tuesday's running buddies

Now that Aidan is in school

 

and I am use to running without the stroller-

 

holy cow!!

 

Pushing a four year old for 3.5 miles is tough-

 

but I have missed running with my little buddy.

 

He has been with me on my running journey since it started!

 

Until the last few months

 

running with him in the stroller

 

was the only thing I knew.

 

my little buddy

He is getting so big!

 

It might be time to build his endurance on his bike

 

so he can ride beside me instead of me having to push him.

 

 

3) Our most recent family picture

 

This photo was taken after our run on Tuesday

 

and I LOVE it.

 

I have not forgotten that I have three boys-

 

look very close.

 

We are ALL in the picture!



 

love my photo bombers!

 I hope you are having a good week!

 

What are your plans for the weekend?

 

I will be working all weekend!
