5k and more!!

Well, today was my first 5k run! I did it in 33 minutes, that is great considering I did it with the two kids and had to stop to help them. Ryker needed his food! Hailey is normally soooo good at feeding him, but too many people, so many distractions! I was going crazy because just yesterday, 6.5 miles and NO crying, screaming, nothing and then today, the big race, and drama began and didn't stop.
Anyway, I feel pretty good about my time, even though I always want to be faster and better. I feel bad for the people running by me, crying, me saying pleeease feed him something, Hailey saying no, and Ryker crying harder. I felt sooo bad, but was sooo frustrated. I just kept saying to myself just get to the end!!!
So, the weather here has been so nuts, just this week we have ran in 39 degrees to 63degrees. It is so beautiful, it tricks you, I don't know how to dress my kids, they are either too warm or too cold. I love fall time though.
Updates on kids:
Ryker has four teeth, and is so funny. He is army crawling, and making us laugh at how fast he is. He can get in a sitting position all by himself, and can make kissy noises. He smiles all of time, and is such a fun big boy. He will be one soon, that is just crazy to me. He loves to eat, which is so opposite his sister, she could do without! He is sleeping so good at night, and is so nice in the morning! He is saying mamma and dadda, and Haigy, and more, of course!!
Hailey ate her first FULL kids meal last night, from Wendy's, I love that place, I was so proud of her. She normally just picks at her food, and Mike ends up eating what is left of it, which is normally three full nuggets, the frosty and fries. Then he gets frustrated because he spent money and she did not eat. I couldn't be more proud of her. She has had her ears painted on lately. She does not listen at all, and then when she doesn't get to do the things she wants, she is beastly, and I am not the most pleasant either. Just yesterday she told me, "mom you are crabby, are you nervous?" I have been battling nap time lately, it is not pleasant. She needs a nap, but doesn't feel like she needs one, yesterday she ended up putting herself down and when she got up she knew she was crabby so she went back to sleep. She is such a big girl, and so nice when she wants to be. I just have to remember to put myself in time out!
I love both of my kids so much. I don't mean to have days when all I want to do is scream all day, and then when they cry all I want to do is cry. Being a mom, is some hard stuff, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
