Taper time = Black doors.....
With the marathon just a week away it is taper time, which supposedly is a good thing but makes me super nervous. I mean I didn't taper before running my 20 miles and that felt great, but I have been sticking to a training schedule and that is what it says to do so that is what I am doing!!
So, I like projects, with less time spent running I have picked up a paint brush and started painting all our interior doors (on the main level), black!! I think Chuck originally thought I was crazy when I told him what I was going to do, but I think it is growing on him! And to be completely honest, I don't know why parents of little kiddos haven't thought about doing this before because it definitely hides all the little dirty fingerprints that I am constantly cleaning off doors!!
So I started by painting the front door, I was already painting the outside of the front door black but then I decided since I was painting one side I might as well do the other...I wish I had a before picture but this is how it turned out...
Please ignore the kiddo toys, it seemed like everytime I got everything cleaned up to take a picture something else came up so, pictures with toys it is!! When I painted the doors I had to paint the trim around it which was really ok since I have been meaning to do that since we moved in 3 years ago!!
Then I figured since our front door was black our back door should be black as well so then I did this...(actually have a before and after pic here)
A Bunny Breakfast....
Well, it's pretty hard to believe that next weekend is Easter, especially since they are calling for 7 inches of snow tomorrow! Regardless, Easter means breakfast with the Easter Bunny, so this morning we got up and put our very spring-like Easter clothing on and headed out to hang with the bunny for a bit. Hannah has always been a fan, last year Jack was not! Today was a very different story...

St. Patty's Day fun....
Happy St. Patricks Day (a day late)!!
We had such a nice weekend, we even had an extra day and it flew by way to quickly! Chuck had Friday off for his birthday, so I got up at the crack of dawn and ran my 18 miles. It wasn't fun but it wasn't horrible so that's promising!
After the run we all hopped in the car and headed down to the St. Patty's Day parade! The kiddos loved it, or maybe they just loved the candy, but we met up with some friends and had a wonderful time...

Saturday was more St. Patty's Day celebrating beginning with the St. Patricks Day run that we do every year downtown. They were talking rain all week but the sun decided to shine and we had a fun run, even the kiddos enjoyed themselves....
The Winter Greens.....
Since winter just refuses to go away and it looks like this outside....
