And we're done




We'll we've made it to the weekend. The bake sale on Wednesday went really well thanks to all the help that God provided in some girls that were willing to take plates of food, put them into guys hands, and tell them, "that'll be $3!" Very nice. My goal was to make sure we got everything sold and we did, so praise the Lord for that. 
  The Babysitting fundraiser last night went even better. We only ended up with 26 kids and we had about 12 helpers so not bad at all. We made just about enough money to support one child in a third world country for a year! Very exciting. We're actually planning to do another babysitting night in April now. We only had one busted lip but we did have one little girl throw up. Now we're just praying that no one else gets sick since we all took turns holding her before she threw up! We're done with the babysitting and clean up by 10:30 and then we went to IHOP till 11:30 so my boys weren't even in bed until 12! A very late night for them and mommy!
  Matt is away at a wedding this weekend so I took the boys running with me in a jogging stroller I borrowed from a friend. It's much harder to run pushing 100 lbs.! We made it 3.6 miles and called it good before walking up the hill to home. My running partner helped me push up some of the hills, and I"m sure this was a great work out...but I think I prefer running kid free! :) They were so good though and Caleb was zonked out by the time we made it home. Tonight Kaden and mommy are going to have some special movie time so that should be fun....kind of like a girls night...except he's a boy and we won't be doing our nails! :) 
  The pictures are from last week when we went to the skating rink and the boys just played in the ball pit...yes, it's a germ nightmare but they had so much fun!
  Well, I better go get busy while they're sleeping. Hope you all are having a good weekend.
Jesus loves you.

I'm glad your weekend went well and that everything worked out! I hear you about jogging with the kids. Up until last summer that is the only way I ever ran. Now that I have a taste of how running is like without pushing 100 extra pounds it's hard to go back!!! I think the only thing that worse is pulling the kids in a bike trailer (up hill!!) =0
