It’s been a while since I’ve linked up with the DC Trifecta Mar, Cynthia, and Courtney but to celebrate the middle of the year, I figured, it’s time! 🙂
June was a good month.
1st: I reached the century mark in mileage!
Ended the month on the ‘mill
This month of pre-season training was a success as I’m feeling good going into marathon training next week. I’m ready as I’ll ever be for Hanson’s craziness, eeek!!!
2nd : I tricked my kids into eating fruit. Now my son LOVES fruit and chooses that over regular dessert any day, but my daughter–she loves her chocolate. One afternoon in June, I was about ready to chop an apple when I got a bright idea. My kids love fries (just like mommy) and it occurred to me that I could cut the apple to look like In-n-Out fries.
VOILA!! Apple fries!!
The kids ate it up!! Of course, I sold it by saying, “Wow!! Check out these apple fries!!” Apple, gone!!
3rd
: I continued my Mom-of-the-YearMonth status by finding these amazingly cheap PJ Masks costumes on Amazon. If you’re not a parent, these three characters are from a Disney cartoon that my kids (and all kids) are obsessed with. When they came in the mail, my kids seriously thought I was the coolest mom in the world.
Catboy, Owlette, and Gecko ❤
4th : The Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Championship. This was seriously history. My brother and sister live in Ohio so I’m a Cavs fan by association. Plus, I’ve always liked Lebron (except during the whole “Taking my talents to South Beach Fiasco”).
Game 7 was a mini party at my house and a scream-fest the entire game. When it ended, I was left with no voice but no matter–we got the win!!
5th : I got to meet Corey and see The Goonies on the big screen! Our movie theatre shows classic movies every Tuesday and last Tuesday they were showing The Goonies with a special appearance by Corey Feldman. I of course had to go.
My buddy and I got there super early and already the lines to take a picture with him were looooong. We were told we wouldn’t be able to meet him.
😦
But Goonies never say die.
We ended up in a line near where he was doing interviews and were able to snag a picture as he walked by us. Then, my buddy bought a CD of his (who knew Corey sang?) which guaranteed him an autograph.
Big time cheesin’
The inside of his CD…..yeah……
It was a super fun night and the movie never gets old. Such a good one.
Overall, June was pretty happening. 😀
–How was your month? Running mileage?
–What’s your favorite fruit?
–Are you a Goonies fan?
I was doing a puzzle when my husband was watching game 7 and he was rooting for ummm… not the Cavs, the other team (I couldn’t care less about sports!!!) so of course I was cheering along with him as I did my puzzle. But then when he said the Cavs NEVER won a championship in any sport I was like… awwww now I kind of want them to have their moment!!!! 🙂 Glad they got it!!!
I’m glad they got their moment too! 😀
haha, I love your trickery! I actually make apple fries all the time – so much easier to eat them sliced then munching on a whole apple. you had a good month – congrats my friend!
Thank you, Mar! ❤
Don’t you love that changing what food looks like totally changes how kids react to it?! All it takes it “apple fries” lol.
Congrats on 100+ miles this month!
Right!!?! LOL
Thank you!
I went to college with Chunk.
That’s so awesome! My friend and I have a picture with Sean Astin and now with Corey. We want to get the other Goonies, lol! Maybe I could be your date to your reunion!
You are the coolest mom ever. Love the idea of apple fries. Brilliant. I wonder if I could trick myself with those?!
Jaja!!! It works on me, lol!
Love the masks! Sounds like game 7 was a blast! June wasn’t the best month for us but we are doing much better.
I’m glad you guys are doing better! xoxo!
You guys have so much fun!!! I vote for you to have mom of the year too; those masks are THE BEST!!!
<3!!
Congrats on hitting 100 miles for the month!!! That is SO fun that your theater was showing Goonies and how cool that Corey Feldman was there! I love the picture of you “with” him :):)
Lol, I worked hard for that pic jaja!!
For a second I was like “What are pajama masks?” Lol, obviously not a parent.
Goonies on the big screen would be totally awesome! What a fun night.
It was!!!
Wow after all the harassment about LeBron going to Miami and now you’re a Cavs fan…smh lol
Well, technically, I’ve always been a Cavs fan (which was why I was upset with HOW he left). My family has lived in Dayton for 15 years. So yeah, I was happy when he returned and forgave him, lol!
