Back Home Again

I took a couple days off last week and went to Minnesota. It was a lot of fun, but it always goes way too fast. Whenever I go up, I make a mental plan of all the things I want to do, but I never get it done. There is just too much fun to be had in Minnesota. It makes me miss it, well almost all of it. Two days before we went up, I was running outside in temperatures of 80 degrees, then we went to Minnesota and was greeted by snow and more snow. I do not miss that. It is supposed to be spring. We did so much, but the highlights were seeing little Lottie McCabe, a Mall of America extravaganza and seeing Michelle. I do want to point out that my little Henry went on a roller coaster and loved it! That makes me so happy and excited for when he gets bigger. Because of travel, I wasn't able to exercise they way I wanted. This week I only ran about 10 miles, and I did half of the circuit training that I normally do. I like reading exercise blogs but sometimes I get frustrated when I read that a women is getting mad at herself because she can't run an 8:00 minute mile or didn't do the distance she wanted. I think to myself, don't they realize how good they are now, and how they are still doing and incredible feat? I need to take that opinion of myself. So I won't complain. That was the best I could do.Yesterday Henry got a hair cut. It is always a dramatic difference. He looks, like 5 years older. He didn't want a hair cut and he wasn't very happy when the lady started spray his hair down, but once she started cutting, he would catch himself in the mirror and smile He seemed oblivious that I was watching which made it all the more adorable. Here Henry is drinking hot chocolate after playing baseball at the park. Henry loves running the bases. Today when Aaron was the pretend batter and he was the pretend catcher, Aaron hit the ball and took off running. I guess Henry was jealous so he started running the bases too. So cute! Excited for the weekend, no work and a Royals Prospect game. We haven't been back to Kaufman stadium since Henry had a melt down because of the fireworks. We went and bought him some ear plugs and he said he is ready to try again. I'll let you know how it goes
