More cardboard fun

I found an old Bed Bath and Beyond gift card in my old wallet.  I had no idea if it was still any good, so I checked the balance, and it still had $7.00 on it!  So, a quick trip to the Clearance section of their website later.....this little cardboard beauty was on its way to our house.  It is actually surprisingly sturdy, and will probably be hours of fun for Mdx to color.  I told her that Mav can play with it, but I'm only going to let her color it (since he loves to color walls.....AHEM...sofas, etc).

Silvester 10K

There is an annual 10K that runs through our village, and a few other surrounding ones.  They close the main road (the one we live on) for the runners.

Mdx is ready to do some cheering!

We made a little poster, and got lots of thumbs up from the runners!

Some of them even had coaches or friends riding along!

Almost every house had people come out and clap.  There was very little cheering, mostly clapping.  The two young men you can see (besides Marshall) are our landlord's sons.  

Unfortunately (or fortunately??) Mav slept through the whole thing, but maybe he'll see it next year.
