Thank goodness for Instagram! I promise I really do take photos on my real camera, but man...these days have been full! Fun, full, and I'm not going to lie a little exhausting at times. There are days I look around and wish I could squeeze a few more tasks into each day, but oh well...such are the days as a household of 5!

| School time is here again. |
 |
| Ainsley and Aubrey shared in Aubrey's excitement to be going to kindergarten!! |
 |
| Face-painting fun after the Cause & Event race. Ainsley "ran" with me in the stroller and wore an official race number too. About halfway through the race she started telling people "I hurt my knee during my race." Must be hard to be pushed for 3.1 miles!! |
 |
| Its a family event! Ella ran her very 1st race- 1 mile. She did great and we were so proud of her for completing it. Neal took 3rd in his division for the 5K. I walked with Gina as she was trying to nurse her stress-fractured leg, she didn't have to ask me twice to walk not run. |
 |
| This year we got Halloween costumes a little early. The church had a superhero weekend and the girls wanted outfits to wear for that event. I, on the other hand, was not willing to buy 2 costumes for each girl. The compromise was that we are Batgril and Wonder Woman for Halloween this year and could wear costumes in September. |
 |
| Remembering to take time on our walks home from school in the morning to enjoy the "Ainsley sized" things of the world. Each morning we stop at this same retaining wall and sit because "its an Ainsley sized bench!" |
 |
| Race time once again! 3.1 miles, more running than obstacles (and either I'm stronger or the obstacles were much easier than the past races!) and for a non-beer-lover, the BEST spiced banana beer! |
 |
| Some days just don't go as planned. This was one such day. From the moment I woke up, things just didn't my way. Our morning progressed in this manner and moments into church, I got paged back to the kids wing. Ainsley had pottied in her undies, dress was wet and shoes were wet. Icing on the cake, no dry clothes in the van. We only live 5 minutes from church but of course Ainsley fell asleep on the way!! |
 |
| Never trust when a 2 year old is quiet. Fortunately it was only bandaids this time, at least they are easy to clean-up! |
 |
| Its a little muddy but SO MUCH FUN!! Warrior Dash 2014 |
There ya have it. Maybe/hopefully soon I'll fill in the pieces in between. If not, at least you know what we've been up to and the adventures we are constantly having.
