The Great Cupcake Race!

It was definitely an Adventurous Saturday for us!! 

Got my girl registered for Fall Youth Soccer, her 2nd year w/the YMCA!!
Went out for a movie at the base cinema; Watched Madagascar 3 for the 2nd time.

During Naptime, I got busy completing our School Command Center, since I [finally] received our Fabulous Customized Calendar. Just another AWESOME DIY Project in our household. 

[Happy Mail]
Also, a customized notepad for Leanna
And, a customized Writing Notepad w/Ailea's Name

Next, comes the RUNNING!!! I met up with a few friends, for some walking. I got to sneak a 1 MILE RUN on the way to meeting them. I didn't track the walking we did, roughly 2 miles though, great conversations!! And, the weather was PERFECT!
After the walk, I squeezed in another 2 miles.

VIRTUAL RACE

All, with the jogger and my cute little runner.
Still waiting on the FABULOUS medal, I'm excited!!
[Just a FABULOUS SWEATY MESS]

Once we got home and settled, around 8:30. Leanna said, "Today was GREAT, Mama!! Well, not the running in the DARK part" Hahahahahah...Mama had to get her RUN on!! ;-)

Mama's [growing] Home Gym!

Yesterday, I spent most of the afternoon sorting through garage! It was time I made space for my own HOME GYM!!! It'll be nice to runaway into the garage to get my workouts in, all except Les Mills Pump and Running!! Every single piece of equipment is now in there; Spin Bike, Elliptical, Weight Bench, Kettle Bells, Weights, BOSU, and other little randoms. And, I'm still on the fence with purchasing a treadmill. I just rather run OUTDOORS, but it will be nice to have during the long Winter Season. And, during NAPTIME. There's still a lot of work in progress. Making an area for husbands "man cave" and a small play area for the girls to include a Fabulous Chalkboard Table (currently in the works) awesome DIY Project, and a few other Surprises!! I SO happy, I finally jumped into this [crazy cleaning/organizing] Make-Over Project. We are coming up on a YEAR since moving here to Washington, with the deployment, it's "forced" me to take on these tedious projects to keep me distracted. I've also got some motivational quotes to display in the works. Talk about CRAFTY; sanding, spraying, sealing...Yes, I LOVE IT!! LOTS HAPPENING!! Stay tuned for an update!! 

Last night, I snuck away after all 3 girls were in bed/sleeping by 7:30; 22 Miles of Spinning!! 
I had the Kindle propped on the Spin Handles watching "How I met your mother"
I even got busy with CLEANING/RE-ORGANIZING the outdoor patio. We "rotated" some toys and enjoyed the FABULOUS Weather this morning. Baby Girls LOVED IT!!

Moms Run This Town!

TOMORROW is the BIG Day!!!

I'm hosting the Moms Run This Town Meetup; Wednesday Runday!!
I have a few Military Mama's on board!! And, they are just as EXCITEED!!!

I ordered an iron on glittery logo to make my own tee but I lost my mail keys almost 2 weeks ago and have yet to go to the office to order a new set. Horrible, I know. I have a lot of goodies waiting! Agh!! Even, a fabulous cupcake medal for an upcoming virtual run!! 
So, I made my "own" shirt for tomorrow, looks washed-out/vintage. Unique, I say!!
