Childrens Hospital 5k Run

Just today, I completed my first 5k run.

and it was awesome!

 I did the race with BigMan and Ms. Cousin

We ate BigMan's dust. big time.
He completed the race in 24 minutes, and we did it in 40 min.
but considering it was our first race (and I haven't been training very much), I'm pretty proud of us!
And, between the 3 of us (a big part was BigMan), we raised about $250 for the childrens hospital!

Preschool Ceramics: the Bumble Bee

Today, LittleMan and I went to our local MFRC and did a preschool ceramics class.

It cost $4 and we had to pre-register. He loved it!

I'm sure you can purchase these little ceramic creatures at your local store. We used acrylic paints, and then an adult painted the face on afterwards. we used a hair dryer to make the paint was nice and dry, and then a sparkly sealer went on afterwards. We plan on registering for the May session as well - a Ladybug! Have you done any projects similar to this with you're preschooler?

up next week is a preschool cooking class!!!

Security

have you noticed the feed tool I have on the right?

You can see the different places people have logged on from and what posts they viewed.

pretty neat, huh? I think so to.

Except...all the visits seem to go to just one post I had. it was one from the winter and I had shared a picture of LittleMan with the snowman he built. 

needless to say, it seemed odd and I'm not sure why people kept going to that post so I removed the picture. eventually I just removed the whole post and removed all pictures of LittleMan where you could see to much of his face. It saddens me that I had to take them down and can't share them, and I know I don't have that many viewers, hardly any actually, but you can never be to safe.

Where does the time go?!?!

I can't believe it's Thursday already.

Thursdays are my Fridays, and I don't know where my week has gone!

I got a surprise in the mail today...one that I've been very patient for...

 my bargain lovers fabric!

there was an issue with Canada Post, so it was a bit delayed - but it was worth the wait :) 

It was folded and packed very well, I can't wait for my next shipment!

it's perfect to start working on { this } quilt!

Our garden is coming up nicely as well! two more plants have popped up, and the sunflowers are sky rocketing! almost time to transplant them into bigger pots.

Here's hoping it warms up soon! I've been able to get two loads of laundry outside on the line to dry, it's nice and windy and 4 degrees C outside. I'm looking forward to the 14 degrees next week!!
