a picture is worth at least 2-3 words

since i clearly didn't learn my lesson with the color run, this weekend the kids participated in a 1K on the beach in Galveston.  they both seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves but i suspect this was due in no small part to the proximity of the water and the repeated promises of post-race donuts.  they both finished middle-of-the-pack and i like to think they get their competitive edge from me.  yay team average!

post-race, post-donut, post-winter-swim, we carbo-loaded because, um, we were hungry?  i like to justify over-eating by reminding everyone around me that i run a lot.  i'm pretty sure that i'd have to run a marathon every day to compensate for the dozen cookies i sometimes eat for breakfast but, meh, i'm happy.  and i love cookies.

i thought bea was trying to make a heart...
but she was making right/left with her fingers.
so much for that touching moment.

legit touching moment
