Catch Up Time!

My 5 year old has been begging to camp out in the backyard the last few weeks. Its jut not quite warm enough at night yet here in IL. Hopefully we can do it in the next few weeks. Those oven s’mores look heavenly. I might need to make those tonight. I am definitely its 10pm already, although lately I have been finding myself staying up later which will not be good on my schedule when social distancing is lifted. Today is strength day for me….I will probably redo one of Muncher Cruncher’s HIIT workouts. I am addicted and now i have added tuck jumps to things I can do thanks to her workouts. The first few times I tried to do those I felt like my feet barely left the ground. Where did you get Brooke’s pink sandals?

My go-to for running is either a messy bun or ponytail. I don’t have great luck with braids.
I’ve become the “it’s already 10 p.m.” person after kids, and adjusting my work schedule to early hours (6-3) to maximize evening time with them.
I’m in the middle on camping: love it when the weather is good, but I’ve had a few cold/wet Girl Scout leader experiences that were less than ideal ;) My son asked for s’mores on Tuesday, so we expanded that to a “camping dinner” and roasted hot dogs over the fire first. I was glad I powered through my initial “it’s kinda windy and chilly” thoughts and just adopted his joy about it–he made it lots of fun!
I’ll keep my #quarantinestreak for workouts going today with an indoor kettlebell/dumbell/core workout and hope for dry running weather over the weekend.
Enjoy that warm weather!!f

I’m a “It’s already 10:00 p.m.” person for sure. Which is usually followed by the thought “I should have been asleep an hour ago!” LOL

I’ve tried different hairstyles but nothing seems to work as well as a good old ponytail and visor.

I went camping once, and I’ll never go again! To be fair though it was during a Texas spring (self-explanatory), and we were completely inexperienced so I think it was mainly user error :)

Today is a workout day! I’m doing the old school T25 program so I can workout indoors. (See Texas reference above). Have a great day!

I am in its already 10 pm person. In my highest mileage days it was it’s already 8:45 pm person. :)

Camping, only if I am hiking my supplies in somewhere awesome.

Haha, my daughter is the same way with dip! She eats her vegetables too, but I have a feeling all the dip negates the health benefits of the vegetables;-). I agree with Knox, tank top weather is the best!!!

I LOVE to camp (growing up we had a teepee!), but I have realized that in my older age, I don’t love sleeping on the ground, haha. Plus, when we go, my vehicle is not big enough to hold our tent and all of our gear! So we have to camp locally and make a couple trips with our clothes, wood, food, tent, etc. My husband and I were just looking at campers yesterday. He was getting upset because I want to find the best deal/cheapest (we live in MN so our camping season is limited). My only priorities is that we all have a place to sleep and is small so it’s easy for me to tow. He is looking for something “more comfortable”I told him the point of camping is to be outside, not sitting inside a camper;-).

I’m neither an ‘it’s already 10’ or and ‘it’s only 10’, I’m never awake long enough to see 10pm! Ha! Fortunately, I married someone who has to be up for work at 3:30am so staying up past 8:30pm is a stretch for us both!
Love the camping in the backyard idea with your kiddos! What a wonderful memory for them to have! :)

We love to camp! We recently bought a camper, late last spring, and have loved it! It is such wonderful family time and I know memories we will cherish. Most state parks we visit have limited cell service, so that is a bonus, that encourages the kids to be outside. We love to hike the trails, bike, and do all the nature things. Our 7 and 4 year old have asked so many times, “when are we going camping again?” lol. Hopefully the parks will open back up again soon. Also, the s’mores with the peanut butter cup… ahh mazing!
Also, side note… Brooks had a give away for healthcare workers a few weeks back, the first 10,000 to enter would receive a pair of shoes… and I was one that won! I am so excited! LOL, I never win anything, so this is extra exciting to me lol! I do x-ray in a hospital and have been leaving my shoes outside when I get home, so I don’t expose the kids or hubby. So, this is a wonderful little bonus, to have another pair of shoes to add to the rotation. Another reason I love the company Brooks and all they stand for.
Have a wonderful today! Love reading your posts every morning!

Is Andrew quarantining away from the family now that he’s working with COVID patients? My aunt is an ER doc and she is totally staying away from her family.

Oh my gosh that meme is so true! My husband is an “it’s only 10pm” and I’m an “its already 10pm”

Haha. Most nights I do not make it till 10 pm?.

We love to camp. Some of our best memories are camping road trips so pretty sad about this time.

And I have a lot of family in healthcare so I feel for Andrew!

Re: hairstyle…lots of pony tails and buns. And some mornings I curl my hair just because. No one except me and him are going to see it ?.

I love Skye’s evil eye:). Hope you have a great day!

Try making ranch dip out of Greek yogurt or a mix of Greek yogurt with a little mayo. You can even use the hidden valley ranch packets or equivalent generic. Then at least Skye is using the vegetable as a yogurt delivery device which is a little more nutritious!
