Saturday I ran a 5k with my sister-in-law! First 5k I've done in over two years and first time out seriously running since Oliver was born. I wish I had been able to do a little more training before hand, but I'm proud to say I managed to run almost the entire way with just a few walk breaks and I finished in around 40 minutes, so I was pleased! The race was the "Hot Chocolate 5k" so we got free chocolate goodies when we were done - um, yes I'll run three miles for chocolate!
The rest of Saturday was very quiet and relaxing, we took Ollie out for lunch and to get the Pants Monkey a haircut and then just vegged at home for a bit. Watched a movie and had leftover night for dinner.
Sunday was Oliver's first Easter. We gave him a basket of goodies - two new books and two new elephant toys. He seems to be fascinated by elephants. I sang at church in the morning with our music group. I wore a really fun skirt/sweater combo that I was all set to share on the blog today - but then I had an embarrassing moment with the communion wine and I now have a stain on both the shirt and the skirt. I rarely take the wine because I'm kind of a germ freak, but on special holidays like Christmas and Easter I will - I'm kind of regretting that decision now!
After church we went to a brunch with Mr. Monkey's family. It was a buffet - I'm not crazy about buffets but there were a few decent things to eat - some amazing fresh fruit. Oliver did really well - he gets overwhelmed in large crowds and has had some strange anxiety as of late, but he warmed up to people pretty well after awhile. After brunch we brought him home to nap for a bit and then we finished out our day with dessert with my parents.
Back to the grind today, my sister-in-law gave me this pretty sweater that wasn't working for her, so I decided today would be a good day to wear it - it's warmish outside - not as warm as yesterday, but still pretty nice. And I've been just craving color lately. It's my goal to wear something colorful every day of this week!
Sweater - The Limited, from SIL
Pants - Alfani, Macy's
Sandals - Merona, Target
Necklace - S&D
Lookie - bare feet! It's so awesome having nice enough weather to wear sandals again! But of course, as I always say at this time of year - I need a pedicure now! The last one I had was the week before Oliver was born, so I'm very much overdue for another one!! I'm just so happy that spring seems to be here!
