I joined the PTO this year and found they were mid-way through planning a Color-A-Thon fundraiser.  It seemed like a very weird event, but everyone swears they are fun.  The idea of running and having people throw colored powered in your face was a tough sell for this family.  I couldn’t talk either kid into coming, though truthfully I didn’t try overly hard because I didn’t really want to go either!  But, I’m on the PTO and we needed more volunteers, so off I went this morning in the cold and in the drizzle.  There was plenty to do and the time flew by!  During the run I ended up working a color station and throwing pink powder at everyone as they went by. I thought that would be a good choice, considering my current breathing situation, but it turns out I probably inhaled more powder than I would have if I were running!  Oh well!  I worked with a fun lady (another PTO person) and the morning flew by quickly.  The drizzle stopped just as the run began and everyone had a great time!  Lots of kids were there and many asked if we could do it again next year.  We’ll see.  :)

Pretty in pink!

Then I got home, took a quick shower, started to eat lunch only to be interrupted by a traumatized Eve who just discovered an American Doll massacre in her room, thanks to a bored Arlo.  It took her awhile to recover.  The dolls will be headed to the hospital tomorrow morning.  Then off to the grocery store, home to drop off groceries, then off again for First Lego League.  FLL is a challenging group of newbies this year.  Needless to say, I am enjoying my well earned glass of wine tonight!  :)

Tomorrow is a no-school day, except now I’m a teacher and have to go to school! Bummer!!  And double bummer for my kids, they have to go too!  Haha.

This was the weekend that wasn’t.  Maybe next weekend I’ll make it all the way through the Sunday paper.  Good thing I don’t attempt the New York Times!
