Lou Belle: Run Run Run

We had such a great weekend! Lots of running and lots of playtime for little miss. It was really great and was over too fast... broken record much?!

Saturday morning we got up bright and early to 'Run the Highlands' a 5k that actually goes right by our front door so we just HAD to run it! Our parents came over early for bagels and coffee and then sat in the front yard with Channing to watch all the runners and cheer us on. It was really fun!

Channing loved being a part of the festivities and wore her running shoes to complete her look!

After the carnival afterwards we cleaned up and headed to 'The Lot' for lunch. This may be the best place ever. They have a HUGE play area for kids to run free in a safe fenced in environment AND the parents can sit on the patio and watch with a front row seat while eating and sippin on drinks.

We probably brought HALF the sand home but who cares. We all had fun... we took turns playing with Channing and eating our Turkey Meatloaf Sandwich. OMG so good!

It totally wore her out! BUT she didn't nap for long in the car because we ran around looking for flowers to spruce up the front of our house!

Blurry pic but mission accomplished!

Sunday the plan was to head to church but we decided to head to White Rock for a NICE run. Th weather was perfect and Channing LOVES the lake so we thought it would be nice to spend some family time together outside!

We ended up running around the whole lake and Channing loved it too. That 'BOB' must finally be really comfy for her! YAY... she doesn't mind riding in it for more than 3 miles now! WOOHOOO!

After our run Chandler took Channing to his parents house to play while I ran to grocery shop sans kiddo and hubby. Then I got a head start on laundry! It was like a little slice of heaven running around so fast not worrying about turning on Dora or Max and Ruby while trying to clean and finish laundry haha. Plus, she had a majorly fun time playing in the sand!

They got home and we headed out to play some soccer and enjoy the perfect day!

My mom mentioned Flank Steak the other day and I was totally craving it so we grilled for dinner!

On a random note has anybody tried this drink? Tori posted it on her IG and now I would like to try it! Where would one find it?

Bright and early this morning this cute pa toot came in while I was drying my hair and asked if she could wear this to school hahahahaha. I said OK... knowing her teachers would take it off but then she said her wings were itching and took it off before we left haha.
