10. How cute John looked with a blue Gatorade mustache all afternoon
9. My peaceful house when Kevin and the boys went to the park, the girls had a friend over, and I got to sit and read (once I did the dishes)
8. Bethanie spontaneously wrote out the alphabet on a scrap of paper and the J, N, and Z are backwards
7. I talked to my Uncle Don and was reminded I miss my extended family - we never see each other
6. Joe and a friend and Cayna laughing hysterically at themselves playing Wii - archery and track
5. Cayna setting up a funeral in her room for a Betty Boop doll - she asked to borrow the school chairs and some "beautiful music"
4. It's Columbus Day Eve - which was a bigger deal when I was a kid... poor Chris, are we beginning to forget you?
3. Kevin making a drawing of how we could set up the downstairs if we get brave and move things around

Woohoo! It's on scorpions-you have finally met your match...Lady Scorpion Killers on the loose tomorrow. ;)
I was just starting to compose my post about my half marathon "13.1 things I've learned training for a half marathon" when I saw your post... made me laugh! Your list also made me realize my half marathon was on 10-10-10... how did i not catch this before?! it was great by the way... and by great, i mean ridiculously difficult (with 3 miles of rolling hills and 2 killer ones)... but my goal was to finish and finish I did indeed! Just before the race the thought occurred to me that after running this thing, I could be confident that if I was ever being chased by a extraordinarily slow coyote in the woods, I could outrun him AT LEAST 13.1 miles! Hmmm, I think I need better mental training next time!! Oh, and happy columbus day, lest he feel forgotten =)
I can't wait for the party at your house. From 11:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M., right? I'm there! There is not else I would rather spend 11-11-11 with!!!
yes, the 11-11-11 party sounds like a year out is a good time to start planning for it!
no, i can't believe i haven't seen blueprints of the daring downstairs design (re-)do! (but would like to -- perhaps a future blog)?
yes, i'm still remembering your other blog post about sitting in the car with 4 kids before heading out. am i a whimp feeling similarly with two itty bitties?
no, i haven't started training for my next race and i need to figure out how to do that (with two itty bitties and weather that is turning)
no, not reading along with your syllabus but wishing i would be
yes, my toddler is singing the abc's in his crib INSTEAD OF napping
miss you!
