weekend update :: lazy days

This has been one lazy, but great  weekend in the L family.

We seriously did NOTHING, and went NOWHERE all weekend.

Well, with the exception of the hubs making a quick trip to the grocery store on Saturday evening.

The farthest the kiddos and I ventured out this weekend, was taking 3 nice, long walks (one each day), which earned A 1 1/2 miles toward her marathon in 6 months log.

The last one, on Sunday evening, the hubs joined us, which was great.

I love my little family SO VERY MUCH, and they are my absolute favorite people to spend time with.

Other than that, I finished one book and started two new ones.

I watched a few episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel on Netflix.

The hubs and I watched pretty much the entire last season of Hell's Kitchen on HuluPlus 

(not happy with the outcome, by the way).

Made and ate some good food.

And  generally just chilled and enjoyed my hubs and our babies.

Great weekend in my book!

How was your weekend?

Do anything fun or eventful?

how to get your kid to walk a marathon....

I recently signed A up for marathonKIDS.

It's a FREE, nationwide program that encourages kids to not only eat healthier, but also walk a marathon 

(26.2 miles) over the span of 6 months, 1/4 - 1/2 a mile at a time.

The program is provided to public and private schools,

as well as homeschool families and independent families who just want to do it.

We got her food and mileage log yesterday and I am super excited for her to begin filling it out.

The way the log works is she gets to color in 1/4 of a circle for every 1/4 mile that she walks/runs.

There are also 26 items in the food log for her to check off, such as:

I ate broccoli today.

I drank water instead of soda today.

I ate watermelon today.

Etc.

The goal is to get kids to eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies 26.2 days out of the month.

I am definitely looking forward to tackling this journey alongside of A.

I think it will be a fun, and productive, adventure for the both of us.

And, as an extra incentive, those who finish will get a special, FREE "Finisher" shirt at the end of the marathon period.

If you haven't received word of this through your child's school, check out the website for registration info and details about the Kick Off Celebration near you.

I'll be updating you of our progress over the  next 6 months!

Happy Marathoning!!
