Today felt like spring and it was so good. Short sleeves, windows open, kids playing outside….it was just a bit cruel that tomorrow there will be snow.

I was so so so excited to run outside, it’s been forever. It was so nice and I really felt like my lungs were recovered.

I got less than a mile from my house when I couldn’t get a full breath or stop wheezing. I was pretty upset about it because I really though I was better and now it feels like I may never be (so dramatic).

When I got home I got on the treadmill, I made sure to keep the pace nice and easy. I was able to complete my “long run” which improved my mood a lot. I am still left wondering when I will be able to run outside and feel normal.

Post run coffee making everything better.

While I was running Cory took the kids for a run and to the park, they enjoyed being outside in February.

The afternoon was spent cleaning up, I always feel like I am cleaning and my house is never actually clean.

Then we had a friend’s birthday party, the kids had the best time playing and eating cake, they are now going to expect multiple parties and cake every weekend.

Then we spent some time at my parents house having the best food (my dad makes the best shrimp dip) and watching the Super Bowl.

We only made it to half time because of bed times for the kids but that’s life with littles!

Did you watch the Super Bowl?

Were you sick the entire year when your kids started pre-school?

It was a good, fun, family day. I decided not to get up early to run so we could all spend the morning together.

After breakfast I ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill before it was time to get the day going. I am planning on doing my long run tomorrow outside and I am really excited about it. I haven’t ran outside in so long, I hope I remember how.

It is supposed to be 70 (70!!!!) degrees tomorrow, and then Monday we will get 6+ inches with a high of 29 degrees. Colorado weather is always crazy.

We have a couple birthday parties this weekend so we hit up our favorite toy store. Grand Rabbit is really the best, and they gift wrap!

After picking out the gifts we ran over to Costco for the week. I like to try to get our shopping done during the week so family time can be spent doing other things but this week was pretty crazy with everyone being so sick, it didn’t get done.

I did find this super cute active set for Cannon. Two tech shirts and some shorts perfect for soccer practice. We just signed Cannon up for his first season of soccer this spring and I can not wait to go cheer for him and see him running around on the field. Soccer was such a big part of my childhood and I think Cannon will love it too.

Emmy fell in love with this mini jacket, it’s a little big for her now but we are planning a trip to Disney in November so this will be perfect!

When we got home it was lunch time, I had a Costco salad that was amazing. I am 100% more likely to eat a salad if it’s already out together for me.

Rest time for Cannon means cuddle time for me. Usually I like to have a coffee after lunch but I was out of creamer so I grabbed a Verb bar and that did the trick.

After naps we went to pick up my new phone, Cannon was over it.

Then it was party time! One of my good friends’ little girl turned three so we went to go play and celebrate with them.

Both Emmy and Cannon love Hannah and had the best time playing with their friends.
