Happy Monday after a FUN weekend. A bunch of friends from Zumba participated in the St Louis GLO Run over the weekend. It was a night time 5K... lots of glow sticks, costumes, a DJ spinning tunes before & after the race. It was a race, but I'd swear it was more of a Zumbathon. Our group of about 20 was right in front of the stage. And every time they'd play a song we do in Zumba... we'd all break out in dance... and everyone behind us was following along. It was awesome. TOTAL blast. There are a TON of party pics from that night, but this one is my favorite...
Gotta love any event where you can sport a wig, hat & costume... and still look totally normal.
In the meantime... I have a 12-year daughter already dealing with friend drama at school... over a BOY of all things. I guess I knew all this was coming, but I'm not prepared for this. Things were SO much simpler in elementary school.
Can I just go back to being a room mom? You know... the room mom that mentioned that I was always the only mom that would organize & be in charge of every party every year... and sometimes I just didn't have time for dat.
Yeah... I want that back.
Ughhh. Hopefully someday she ends up with a HUGE group of awesome friends like I have. Total drama-free friends. I am blessed.
Ok then.
The other day at Target, I found this little gem. Granted this Amercian Crafts paper pad is from last year (it's SO last year)... but for $4.48 (regularly $14.99) it's in my cart...
Just some photos on here from this year's St Patrick's Day parade when my parents took Bryn & my niece with them. It's become somewhat of a tradition...
Since it's clearly NOT a St Patrick's themed collection... I used SRM Stickers + some paper piecing (a heart punch) to create my shamrock to give it more of an Irish theme...
One of the local news stations had a photographer at the race, who took the photo of Bryn & my niece. Found that on their website.
I mean why wouldn't they get photographed? They really ARE kinda cute... even if I am WAY partial.
Also made a birthday card with this collection for a friend who celebrated a birthday over the weekend, but didn't leave myself enough time to photograph it before I gave it to her.
Awesome weekend filled with Zumba, family, friends & FUN. Couldn't ask for more than that.
Have a GREAT week, everyone!
Loveeeeeeeeeee the run photo!! How FUN!!! And love love love your lo!! LOVING that banner you created with the frames!!! So sorry about the drama! Even though Adam doesn't talk much ... I guess that's where I get lucky ... cuz if there is any drama .. he doesn't tell me! HA!!
