Sentence per picture… Lobster addition.

My Boston Lobster Launch 2s arrived and as you can tell, I was a little overjoyed about the whole situation.

IMG 8403

“The Lobster Launch 2 features patterned imagery of the lobster throughout the body of the shoe and a blue ocean midsole as an ode to the Atlantic Ocean that banks the city.” 

IMG 8406

I could just stare at these all day… actually, I think I will do just that today.  

IMG 8405

Is it just me or does her backpack make her look like she is in Kindergarten?

IMG 8384

Just a little bit before bedtime Brooke got to go with my mom for a special date….  Brooke made sure to pack her play bowling ball and pins to take along.  

IMG 8409

I went up to Salt Lake City and got to finally try the Subway (but a million times better) of pizzas.  

IMG 8413

You choose as many toppings on your pizza as you want… all for the same price.

IMG 8414

BBQ chicken pizza with some strange additions like broccoli and zucchini.  

IMG 8415

Our next stop—>  Easter supplies.  

IMG 8419

I somehow passed on the 2 lb chocolate bunny.

IMG 8416

But I did find the speedy bunny!

IMG 8417 

Also, I stocked up on our favorite afternoon snack these days…. I love the Stonyfield Organic Greek yogurts with some fruit and almonds each afternoon.  

IMG 8420

Also, now that I own a robe I pretty much live in it…. how have I gone so long without one?!

I am the worst at April Fools, but love to hear about the pranks. Peeps are the worst, yuck. Bring on that 2lb chocolate bunny!

Reply

My favorite afternoon snack is leftovers, it makes it easy! Peeps definitely gross me out and I can’t imagine anyone thinking a 2 lb chocolate bunny would be a good thing to have in the house!

Reply

Love the Brooks!!
Today we’re filming a spot to support running as a St Jude Hero!
Snack: popcorn popped in coconu oil
Peeps: Delicious!

Reply

I love broccoli and zucchini on my pizza, I put it on mine anytime we make pizzas at home! Afternoon snack lately has been clementines. So good and so easy to peel! Way better than an orange!

Peeps…terrible. I know someone who buys them, waits a YEAR until they are hard, then eats them. Yes, its strange.

My sentence for the day…I should have gone to bed earlier last night!

Reply

My sister does that. She buys them after Easter when they are cheap and then she pokes holes in the package to get them stale. YUCK!!! I don’t know how we can be twins. LOL.

Reply

LOL! That’s too funny. I can’t say I think it sounds good, but to each their own! :)

Reply

Bahahahaha! I do the same. So much better when they’re stale! :)

Reply

Those shoes are gorgeous! I need some new shoes actually could use trail running shoes. Do you wear different shoes on the trails vs the road? I would like something more stable.
Afternoon snack lately has been greek yogurt bars. I combine yogurt with almonds and berries then freeze and slice into bars. They’re delicious!

Reply

I live in Florida, hence I NEED those shoes!!!!

Reply

I think those Lobster Brooks are the cutest. I think the launch would be a great racing Shoe. I’m deciding if I want to commit to it. Last year I got engaged in April Fools Day so I guess I’m not the best with pranks either LOL.

Reply

Aww I love the Easter Basket stuff! I’m still sad I don’t get one from my parents anymore lol.

Reply

Speed work day- time to fuel up all day and hope for the best!

I’ve been eating a lot of Belvita biscuits with nut butter in the after noon at work. Tastes great and has some protein :)

I HATE Peeps, but my fiance is obsessed with them! He seriously buys them year round and eats tons of them. He even has a shirt that says “Hanging with my Peeps” and he just get tons of boxes of them for his birthday and Christmas every year. He’s insane.

Reply

lol I also have that shirt AND love peeps.

Reply

I NEED THOSE SHOES

Reply

Those Brooks are so cute! I keep reading good things about the Launchs and want to try them.
My favorite afternoon snack lately is yogurt with fruit. So filling and refreshing!
I don’t like peeps but am a sucker for most other Easter candies.

Reply

Those shoes are so gorgeous!! Wow!
I love the look of that pizza place, such a great idea :) I have actually never had peeps, I dont think we have them down under, but I’m sure I would love them as the main ingredient seems to be sugar :)
Fave afternoon snack at the moment= plain yoghurt and banana! Yum.

Reply

THE WORST. I will eat pretty much any candy but these are horrible.

Sentence of the day: I am finally running post-marathon (after some post-marathon blues) and it feels oh so good to get my legs turning over again.

Reply

That pizza place looks awesome!!

-My favorite afternoon snack has been a banana and hershey’s chocolate syrup. So -good!!
-Easter peeps…I wish I was a fan, but I don’t like them!

Reply

Sentence for the day: It’s OK to be afraid sometimes; those moments make you brave.

My afternoon snack ALWAYS involves Wheat Thins with something, whether it’s avocado, yogurt or string cheese.

I think Peeps are absolutely disgusting. How someone came up with that “food” baffles me.

Reply

I read about an office April Fools prank where you put an air-horn under the person’s chair, then rig the adjustment lever so when they sit down, the chair lowers onto the air-horn and it blows. I think that would be hilarious, but I’m not brave enough to try it. Plus, I work mostly with older guys, so I’d obviously feel horrible if someone had a heart attack or something.

Reply

I think they opened a pizza place like that out here but I have yet to try it. Looks like fun though! Favorite snack any time is always an apple with peanut butter.

Reply

Oh, and my favorite, but I’m not mean enough… really… is to put a bowl out with skittles and M&M’s mixed. :)

Reply

I thought the trainers were an April Fools? I’m so confused!

Reply

Me too, ha!

Reply

Nope! They are the real deal:)

Reply

Those shoes are crazy fun!
While I don’t enjoy eating peeps, I do enjoy putting them in the microwave and watching them explode.
Sentence for the day: Drink all the water. I am massively dehydrated!

Reply

my daughter also microwaves peeps to the point just before they explode and then eats the, LOL.

Reply

I’m not a fan of peeps! I’m happy with any kind of chocolate as an Easter treat. I probably don’t need a 2 lb bunny in the house:) Love the speedy bunny, though!

Reply

i am 100% buying those sneakers on Friday! I LOVE LOBSTERS!

Reply

I love peeps. I take flack for it because lots of friends of mine think they are gross.
I’m working from home today so the glass repair guy can come replace my windshield that cracked randomly last week.

Those lobster shoes are so cool! And I love the pizza bar idea- it’s like Chipotle, but for pizza!

Reply

pizza place looks amazing! Love the shoes too – how fun :)

Monica at RER always has funny April fools jokes – I’m sure today’s post about giving her cat away is one of them :)

I loved peeps when I was little, but now they don’t do much for me. I am completely addicted to the cadbury mini chocolate eggs, though.

I like fruit and nuts for an afternoon snack, or sometimes kashi cereal.

2. Carrots and spicy hummus
3. I enjoy about 1 peep per year and then I’m over it.

Today for April Fools all of us teachers at my school are swapping classrooms for 20 min and telling the kids we are their new teacher! I usually have third and fourth graders, but I will be going to the Kindergarten class today!

Reply

HAHAHAH that is awesome!

Reply

That’s such a good idea! I bet their faces will be priceless :)

Reply

It was pretty great! I told the kindies pretty quickly that it was a joke (to avoid any tears, since some of them are still too young to really get April Fools Day jokes), and then we had some fun playing tag games in the gym. Half of my class was convinced that I was never coming back as they saw me let the little ones into their classroom. I just waved to them across the courtyard, smiled, and said, “See ya!” Lol!

Reply

The lobster shoes…too cute! Chocolate bunnies…oh yes! Peeps…we they’re just disgusting. Our kids can’t even stand them. They would rather knaw on the 2 lb of chocolate. Did you know they make peeps for most major holidays now?? Yuck. Lol

Reply

favorite afternoon snack = KIND bars. love em!

Reply

Peeps are the worst! I had an awesome gigantic fluffy robe I wore in college when I lived in the dorms and it was the most amazing thing ever. My roommate and I would just chill in our robes together.

Reply

Peeps are GROSS!!!!
I have a friend who absolutely loves them though!
I am not sure if I actually like the lobster shoes…
I have been having the Stoneyfield La Petite yogurt as a snack and I LOVE it and spend way too much on it!

Reply

I got the same “Speedy Bunny” for my son’s easter basket! He is 9 and training for his 1st 5K with a running club at his school, so it is especially appropriate this year:) Also, today is his birthday, and we have always referred to him as our little April Fool!
Peeps are meh. I liked them as a kid, but not so much now….

Reply

I don’t like marshmellows at all and add all the Peeps sugar on it, yuck!

Reply

Where do I get a pair of those shoes?!?!

So they will be sold at specialty running shoe stores in the Boston area and at the Boston Marathon Expo!

Reply

Peeps are gross! I saw a 10lb chocolate easter bunny the other day. Can you imagine?!!!

I’m not great at April Fools jokes either but my daughter wants to play one on her dad. I think it will be something involving food cause he will day anything. Hopefully it will be disgusting lol.

Reply

I loooove those lobster shoes! We had the BEST lobster roll of my life in Boston at Neptune’s Oyster. I like clothes that remind me of my favorite foods :)

Peeps are the devil. They only take up stomach space designated for Reese Eggs.

I’ve been craving air popped popcorn lately. I have yet to give in, but I’m sure it’ll happen sooner rather than later.

Afternoon snack: Chocolate! I go through phases of liking chocolate waaaay too much.
PEEPS=good, but only one at a time.

Reply

so jelly about the shoes good for you! Let us know if you like them!

Last year we switched the kids in their beds while they were sleeping. Let’s just say one woke up at 3am and ran into her brother and yelled at him thinking HE did it. One was angry and one cried. It totally backfired on us as the parents. So this year I was nicer. Annabelle usually lays out the clothes she will wear the next day. I switched her clothes with Evan’s clothes. She thought it was funny. Then I switched bags of cereal for Evan’s bfast so when he poured his bowl, it was Wheaties. He was a little upset thinking I was going to make him eat it.

Peeps are the worst. The. Worst.

Basically when the hours of 2-4pm hit, I want to eat allthesnacks in my house. Who cares if they are my favorite? I turn into a hungry monster. No bueno.

Reply

Hahahaha that’s HILARIOUS.

those shoes are SO fun!! i’m so excited to cheer you on (from MI) come race day!!

sentence of the day: take one day at a time.
fav afternoon snack: raw almonds!!
peeps: no thanks … so many other delicious options out there.

Reply

That build-you-own-pizza place is genius. I need one of these where I live!

I am not a Peeps person. I do, however, love chocolate covered marshmallows and Cadbury Crème Eggs.

Sentence: Closet clean-out day. This both excites and scares me all at the same time.

Reply

My sister is a teacher and whenever she teaches at a new school, for April Fool’s Day she brings in cotton balls that she’s dipped in chocolate and she lays them out on a tray for people to take in the staff room. She is CRUEL I tell you. Cruel. Ha ha ha!

Reply

I need to find one of those pizza places.
I’d probably say ‘the worst’ for peeps…and favorite afternoon snack lately has been smoothies!

Seriously, those are the coolest shoes I have ever seen. I love Brooks.

Love the shoes, but not familiar with the “launch”. How do they compare to the pure flows?

And most importantly, where can I find that chocolate runner bunny?? My little runner girl would LOVE that!

Your shoes remind me of Brooke in her lobster costume. :)

Ok first of all, your entire post just made me super jealous – I want cool new shoes and PIZZA and EASTER STUFF! Sounds like a great day all around. Also I have totally seen that 2 lb chocolate bunny and its eyes are SUPER CREEPY.

Favorite afternoon snack – TORTILLA CHIPS AND GUAC FROM WHOLE FOODS.

I totally got April fooled today… so there’s this HUGE music festival in Austin called Austin City Limits. And my friend posted a link to their 2015 line up so of course I clicked on it. And one of the headliners was Taylor Swift… AND I GOT SUPER EXCITED for like 5 seconds before realizing oh…hahaha. So disappointed.

Reply

-Sentence of the day: Rest days are boring!
– My favorite afternoon snack lately has been a bowl of brown rice and quinoa. I know, pretty odd, but sometimes I love me a snack of pure carbs!
-I’m so sorry, but PEEPS are disgusting to me. I can’t do the pure sugar! But, put a brownie in front of me and game over.

Reply

I might be way behind the curve here but I’ve gotten really into sprouted almonds. Or … If you have 5 minutes, I recommend mixing up the following:
-Melt some nutella/pb in a bowl, throw in some mini marshmallows and microwave it all for a few seconds, mix in some golden grahams … And you got yourself some fancy marshmallow crispy treats :)

PS – shoes are awesome.

Reply

I LOVE PEEPS. Haven’t had any this year, trying to hold out, but I mean. I need at least one haha! ;) Also, those lobster shoes!!!! HOW perfect for Boston?! Too too cute! As is Brooke with her little backpack :)

My sentence: I’m going to regret that barre class later…

Reply

Favorite sentence – You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit! My 3-year-old said that at the dinner table last night. My husband and I about lost it. She said her teacher told her that. I’m pretty sure I will be using that phrase from now on not only with her but with adults too! LOL

Favorite afternoon snack – Half of a Fuji apple with almond butter.

Peeps – Not my first choice. I’d much rather have the Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg(s)!!!!! Yum to the o!!!!

“you get what you get and you don’t get upset” is one of my favorite children’s book lines that I must’ve quoted 1000 times over the past few years! (my kiddo is 8) It’s from Pinkalicious.

We just got a pizza studio in Anchorage, its delish! I love the goat cheese with a balsamic glaze – yum!

I got my nephew the speedy bunny as well and am going to tape a certificate that is good for one race with Auntie to it for his Easter gift.

I got fooled today at work. I am a coffee addict to the point I have my own keurig in my office and I came in today to find my drawer of k-cups all cleared out! It was a good joke because I had to drink crummy coffee until I found the culprit.

Happy April :)

That pizza though….we do not have anything like it in Canada and I am so jealous.

My first thought when I saw those shoes was the Friends episode: “He’s her lobster!!!!” #nerd

Sentence of the day: Poco a poco, little by little. Actually the current sentence of my life as it applies to running, a book I”m working on, learning Spanish, starting life in a new country :)

Peeps: I’ll pass.

Those sneakers are AMAZING! I wish I had lobster shoes.

No to Peeps. I’m not a huge marshmallow person (unless it’s in a s’more or in Rocky Road ice cream..common demoninator = chocolate haha), but the concept of it being sugary and shaped like a bird (HATE birds) makes me wanna puke!

Sentence of the day: Leftover tacos for the win! I had leftover mexican food for lunch and it was pretty much the best thing ever.

Snack: I love almond butter and bananas! YUM.

Oh my goodness I totally need a robe! I hate easter peeps, but someone must like them because I always see them around haha. Okay so totally random question, but how do get your eyebrows to look so amazing? I would LOVE some tips! :)
