5 on a Friday: Fun things we crammed around work this week

 1. Hosting ALL OF THE CHILDREN. Well, all of the middle schoolers. WHY NOT, you know? Kid math is often wild. Dorothy had friends over and took a friend on a random adventure with me and Minnie, and Coop had a bunch of bruhs who showed up with duffel bags full of Nerf guns and ammo-- very fun.

2. And! The flip side is SENDING THE CHILDREN OFF WITH THEIR FRIENDS! Dorothy went shopping with a bestie, and Cooper spent 2 whole days with friends wandering around a neighborhood close to shops and restaurants.

3. THE LIBRARY. TWICE. And! We took a bunch of Minnie's learn-to-read books to her old preschool and stocked its Little Free Library.

Enjoying her library spoils

4. Lots of running. I ran a 5K every morning and also got a fabulous new headband that really keeps my hair out of my face (and the best yoga pants ever).

5. Mini golf one afternoon and FIVE parks in one day another (only 4 pictured-- the 4 we WALKED to (about 2 miles in all-- go Minnie!) and yes, Jack picked us up from the last one but only because I had to drive Cooper to diving-- no spring break for that. We hit up park 5 right before dinner).

(I read a whole book at all these parks!)

Mini golf (not my fave but Minnie had fun, and this place has 3 different courses, so Minnie and I could play and be totally separate from Dorothy and her friend)

WE MADE IT YOU GUYS.
