Skirts for the girls.

I made some skirts for Emma and Olivia. I used some shorts I got on clearance at Target and added the rest. They might be a little big, but they will grow into them.

Pictures from Memorial Day Weekend.

I know these are from over a month ago, but here they are. Some pictures from our visit down to the Miller's in Iowa over Memorial Day Weekend.

T-shirt Prank

Jami and I went shopping together last week and ended up buying the same shirt for our hubby's. We thought it would be so funny if we could get them to wear the shirt on the same day to sometime. It worked out this past weekend at a potluck. I agree with Jami, the looks on their faces when they saw what the other one was wearing were priceless! Check out the picture at the bottom of this post on Jami's blog.

SuperRunner!!

So while I was gone to scuba on Sunday last week, Nate went on a little shopping spree at the Running Room in town. He bought some new shoes, new running socks, new running shorts and a new running t-shirt.

Now you may think, like I did, why do you need special clothes to go running in. Well I guess they wick the moisture away from your skin, especially the socks. If Nate doesn't wear good running socks he gets really bad blisters while he runs which usually break open and bleed before he is done with the run.

That evening Nate confessed to me that when he was a little boy he liked to dress up in tights and cape and run around like superman. He said he loved the feeling he got when he wore the outfit, that the outfit really made him feel like a superhero. He said that he gets the same feeling when he puts on his running clothes.

He has been a bit stressed out at work lately so I made this photo to cheer him up.
