Six on Sunday

For only having one soccer game, this weekend just flew by! So here goes...

1. Remember how I talked about my great run last Sunday (#2 in Six on Sunday)? Well, crossing my fingers didn't work - my foot was sore all week. So bad I broke out this bad boy again...

$Stress fracture$

Yep. I don't need an X-ray to be about 98% certain I now have a stress fracture. I couldn't walk normally until today - a full week later. Which means there is practically no way I will be ready to run 26.2 miles in two weeks.

I am definitely bummed. But I always knew, in the back of my mind, that this was a risk. Afterall, I only missed four long runs and 3 weeks of workouts after I broke my foot in July. I think I just didn't ease back into things slow enough. So...I will most likely go and cheer on my training partners! Life goes on and I don't want to waste my time crying over something I can't change.

2. We had dinner with friends on Friday night and had a blast! Here are the three littlest ones:

I went around their house taking pictures of all the awesome frames Chad has built for their artwork. And I have to say I am excited to give a couple a try. I have two pictures I LOVE but they each need a special frame. I am up for the challenge. (After I wrap up the kitchen, that is.)

3. Speaking of the kitchen...we made some great progress today. I drilled all the hinge holes which is more than I can even count (but definitely more than 20 holes). That's a lot of drilling! Of those doors, we were able to hang six which makes me really happy. I think we'll be able to wrap it all up next weekend. WooHoo!

Here is a sneak peek of a finished corner:

I am so loving the gray and white combo. Timeless and elegant and modern.

4. As I mentioned above, we only had one soccer game this weekend. One. That's practically like zero in our house! #2 played at 8am this morning. It was 46* when I rolled out of bed. But by the time the game was over I had shed my jacket and was only wearing my sweatshirt. I have to say, it was a really beautiful morning for a soccer game. Here are the dads getting set up while the girls warmed up:

I swear that picture does not do it justice. Gorgeous.

5. We decorated this weekend. Quite a bit. I added a couple touches of fall:

And a LOT of Halloween. I didn't have time to properly shoot everything, so you'll have to settle for this one:

Plus, I'd like to add just a couple more touches - a ribbon here or there. But I didn't want to ignore No-Spend September so I think I'll pick up a couple rolls of ribbon this week and put the finishing touches on later. But I have to say, I'm excited. I think it looks GOOD!

6. It's that time of season - Photo Shoots. I had a senior picture shoot and a family picture shoot this past week. I'll show you one of each.

First, here's Andy. Class of 2014 from Blue Valley West. (And my neighbor.) Love him.
