No One Actually Marched

I would've liked it if they did. I like funny people. Well, we're back from our 10K walk...I never paid attention to the length of the March of Dimes walk beforehand. It was apparently 10K...did you know that's 6.2 miles?! No wonder my feet are a little sore. I'm so sadly out of shape. Easton did so awesome. He was so good and wore a little preemie sign on his stroller so he was noticed by lots of people. Some congratulated us, others asked questions...it was great to see how many people turned out for the cause.

The weather turned out to be perfect for our journey. Not too sunny, definitey not hot but once we got moving I was the perfect temperature and eventually had to take off my jacket. We got sprinkled just a tiny bit with rain but no one was complaining about it. I just couldn't believe how well E behaved nearly the whole time. He fussed a little at one point but we gave him some cheese snacks and took off his coat in case he was warm too. He had a little ballon that he held onto most of the way. Looking at the pictures now that we're home is amusing. He's got his little fist closed around the string in almost all of them. Tee hee. He loves balloons. As soon as we got there he started chanting, "ba ba ba". So we sought one out for him. Once we finally finished they had a bunch of free food and beverages. KMart hot dogs or Papa John's pizza. Yeah, we went with the pizza. Children's Hospital provided cookies and Pepsi gave away sodas. I love free stuff!

J listened to the NFL draft on his Walkman about halfway through the walk. Now I owe him a massage. I predicted the Saints wouldn't take Reggie Bush...that they'd trade him for more draft picks later. I was wrong. Bummer. Although, I might cite a little illegal insider info as J checks out sporting news daily and I usually just hear it from him. Oh well, I knew what I was getting into.

Easton is now fast asleep in his crib after a long morning of stroller and carseat sitting. J is watching the draft and I'm left to do my own thing. No complaints here!
