It's been school spirit week for the kids. They LOVE it. Each day has a different theme. Monday - wear your pj's to school. Tuesday - crazy hair day. Wednesday - wacky hair day. Thursday - wear red day. AND...Friday is the fun run! They were allowed to wear clothes with their favorite teams on them. We don't do a whole lot of pro-team jerseys and such. So...Alex wore a Children's Place shirt that said cougars on it, and the girls wore soccer jerseys from 3 years ago. :) They have been so excited all week, but this morning was the best. They talked to eachother about their outfits. About what clothes would help them run the fastest. I love when they are excited about something.
Their principal was giving instructions about the route for the race. They raise their hands to show they're listening. :)
Go Alex!!! He got quite tired. He spent most of the time jog-walking with some of his cute friends. I love him.
Molly was a great cheerleader. I am completely in love with her lately. My buddy.
Lizzy and Emily pretty much reduced me to tears. They ran together the WHOLE time. I'm not sure if it's something they worked out before-hand or as they went. Last year, Emily was a bit faster than Lizzy. At least 3 times, I could see them all the way across the field, running together, holding hands. Yeah...holding hands. They would walk for a second, then hold hands and start again. They were in it together. There is not much in this world that can make me happier than that. So happy and so proud. They are sweet, kind, little girls. They love eachother, without me telling them to.
They look like serious runners to me. Look at that form. I'm pretty sure they were in the top 5-6 girls in the whole school. In the top 30 kids for sure...and there were a lot of kids. Maybe running will be their passion.
Proud, tired girls. I LOVE them.

you are fast!! It was a good morning. I have to say, I grumble about some aspects of it, but watching those kids running this morning--having the principal talk about physical fitness and being healthy--seeing the smiles, the red and blue tongues, the red cheeks--it was a good morning.
That's sweet about your girls--your pictures are great of all of them.
