Potty Break

So for the last couple of months, any time I go running and my bladder jostles too much, I'm reminded of the 5k I ran with Peter in November.

In case you don't remember (or didn't know) we met up in Syracuse, UT, to run in a 5k that benefited the cause of my friend Tara and her project to build a playground for children with disabilities.  A great cause, and I got to run with my brother.  Made me happy.

But it wasn't too far into the race when I realized that I could happily take a potty break.  In fact, it was at about the 2k mark -- not even halfway.  But I just kept running and tried to ignore it.

A second or two later, Pete turns to me and says, "Do you think they'd care if I used that?"  He nodded toward a house we had just passed with a toilet as a lawn ornament in their flower bed.  I kind of laughed.  The guy running behind us said, "Even if you clog it, it would be okay.  That guy is a plumber."

We all three laughed and continued on our way, but when I'm out running and can use a break I'm reminded of the lawn toilet in the plumber's yard that Pete wanted to use.

Fun times.

Where The Wild Things Are

Phoenix Zoo, January 9, 2010....

Fun!

Fun in the snow

I just had to throw in this picture first. Teagan dressed himself. He's got Tyler's church vest on...backwards. And Trenton's pillowcase for pants. It was pretty cute.
It snowed yesterday morning and the day before. If it wasn't spring break, school would have been canceled. It was blowing like crazy! We all went outside to freeze our buns off yesterday and Tyler made a snowball. I'm not quite sure he would be able to throw it. He was having a hard time even holding it up!!
James has this fun little vehicle to do his tower work with. Usually it's kept in the Springs, but he just did tower work the day before it snowed and he brought it home so he wouldn't have to take it to the springs until the next day. So after it snowed, he took the boys for a ride. They both got to drive. They had a blast!
That's Tyler in the face mask. He is actually driving it. Trenton had to sit on James' lap since he couldn't reach the pedals. It was fun. I got to drive it too. But, I much rather sit in the passenger seat and enjoy the ride. Needless to say, our property is filled with tracks. It looks like we had fun!
