School time

It's so cute when the kids play school together.  Sydney has to be the teacher of course, but she is very kind and gives out lots of reward stickers!

Kids Run

The day before the Glass City Marathon was the kids run at the University of Toledo. Even though it was a tiny bit rainy, that didn't spoil the fun for the kids. They got teddy bears for signing up, and a ribbon for finishing. The football team was there and some of the players ran with the kids. Here is Zack heading for the finish line, he had a football player running with him most of the way - cheering him on! That was pretty cool.


Sydney was really doing great - for the first half of the run she was the first place girl! The kids had to run around the football field 2 1/4 times to make a 1/2 mile.


Here are a couple of staged finishes....

Mario!

I've been seeing a lot of the back of the kid's heads these past few days. They both were generously rewarded for their helping me when I had to work a few weekends ago. I put them to work pushing computer buttons while I ran back and forth supervising the software installations. They did a great job and I was thrilled for their assistance. I gave them $10 each, and then they both got a gift card from my client!


So they used their money to buy Super Mario Bros for our Wii system. It has been a lot of fun for all of us to play, but Sydney had gotten a bit territorial over it :) Zack bought a Lego set and also a Hot Wheels Wii game. Fun!!
