Warrior dash

Today we went to the warrior dash.  Its a race/obstacle course (think jumping fire and crawling through mud)  mac made alot of friends as always especially when wearing Doug's warrior helmet (as pictured). 

Doug took several pounds of dirt away from Mountain City but most of it has gone down the drain.  One of our favorite parts was checking out all the crazy costumes.  We look forward to seeing the pictures taken by everyone else becuase this is about all we got.  Luckily we met friends there with better camera skills than ours.

The only downside is that Mac was too cranky and Doug was too dirty for stopping at the Dillard house, but we are making up for it with Mirko pasta.

I ride racecar!

Last night we enjoyed a chance for  family outing to the softball fields for a game. Mac loves softball night especially when he gets to ride in the mustang. He calls it the racecar and all he talks about is how he's riding in the racecar. And last night was made even morefun since we won. Mac and I actually watched more of the game than I've seen since before he was born. So it was a win on several points.

New Bedtime Routine

No matter how well a bedtime routine works, it never seems to stick.
We always adapt and go with what works. Sometimes its sweet, sometimes its a battle, and sometimes it is just cute.

The new one definitely falls under the cute category. Samantha received a Little Mermaid birthday card and Mac has decided that it is his. And that he has to look at it every night.
He did this a few nights before we remembered to get a video camera out. In the past he would always get shy whenever we tried to record him doing something cute or funny. Not this time. This time he decided to ham it up and put on an even better show.

It might take a while to load, but we think it is worth your time.



The best part is that when the camera was turned off, he tried to instruct Doug to get the camera back out for his last performance.
Not too many dull moments around here.
