I dreamed about the marathon last night. Instead of running with my friends Ruth and Jenn, it was Ruth and this girl from jr. high named Sonia (YJH gals, remember her?). And in the middle of the marathon, there was one one these we had to traverse:

Remember those? Do they even have those on playgrounds anymore? anyway, it wasn’t small like that. It was about 40 feet tall. and you know how those things cave in in the middle after time? There were caved in spots all around, so it was really hard to climb back down. Unfortunately, Sonia fell off and it knocked her out of the race. So Ruth and I pressed on. Eventually I lost Ruth…not really sure how that happened.

After the large jungle gym, we ran through a corporate office and the cafeteria, and then we had to pull those little number tabs they have at customer service desks to get out of the building. Once I got through that, I was surrounded by Mack trucks. No, not just semi’s. Macks from Lightning McQueen. When I got through that, I was on a part that really is on the course-the road goes up and then down under a bridge, and then back up. That is when I saw my mom, Nick, and Cindi. Cindi jumped in and started running with me. Then my rubber band broke and I started yelling “Does anyone have a rubber band?” over and over again until someone tossed one to me.

Then, the moment I had been waiting for. The finish line. My eyes welled up, the chills come….

“Mommy? Mommy? Can you come play with me?”

7:15. Time to get up. Gotta love Connor’s timing.

And speaking of Connor, check out this gem. Christmas never dies at our house! He LOVES to sing this song, as you can tell by the video. I had to record him secretly because he would never willingly put on this performance. We’ve tried, unsuccessfully, several times .

Tomorrow I will have a video of Logan. He is so cute and so fun! Just wait…you will see.

Oh, and I almost forgot! My album that won the grand prize in the Piggy Tales contest a few weeks ago is going to be published in a book! So excited about that!

And that’s all she wrote. For now.
