Invidiosulus Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Ran a two mile fun run with the four younger kiddos this evening. The youngest, age 8 with the red hair was literally the fastest person there. His PE teacher is now telling me he basically runs a 5k around the track during PE class “because it’s fun”, and his 1 mile time is 7:10. My daughter with the red hair, age 11, was second, and middle son held back to keep pace with their friend so they were 3rd/4th. And then my older daughter, age 12, and I were somewhere towards the back of pack but we made it in one piece. Looks like daddy has his work cut out for him if he’s going to try to keep up with these guys. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I learned long before "fun runs" ever became popular that ANY kind of run was over-rated! Great looking crew and yup, get to work if you're going to lead by example! 😂 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 "fun" and "run" ????? not around here. I had a wonderful day... Mapped out last night. "Honey, the kitchen sink is stopped up" the only good thing about this project is that I made all the mess outside. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I've never seen a kid that did not like a tie-dyed t-shirt. If they start to like early 70s music like the Dead and other groovy bands later on they might wish they still had it. & You've got another! The gal in the back with her hand raised has the best one over her shoulder. That's the way mine were with a few extra twists on the shoulders and around the edges. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are blasting some 70’s and 80’s vinyl on the LS this morning while we get the house in order for the in-laws to come visit tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 That's cool, sure your dad turned you on to a good bit of it! Enjoy the visit, game 7 in an hour. Shouldn't have gotten this far but this years team is kind of sporadic to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 My son has his evangelical church confirmation tomorrow. I have made him a cake. It consists of a 3 part Viennese chocolate base and is covered with 3 layers of a vanilla whipped cream, over which I have distributed colorful sugar sprinkles. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The description of what type of chocolate makes it sound delicious! I heard that there was one around here that didn't appreciate the wonders of the cocoa bean (the edible kind)... it's not me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
