The most exciting part of this run was my new shoes and my new sports bra. Woo hoo!

We had a snow day today, if you can believe that. It was pretty messy. We drove back from Chicago last night into white out conditions. What normally takes two hours took three. When we finally made it home, we shoveled out the driveway. Both our schools canceled, but poor Chuck had to go in because admins had to report. Even though we had shoveled just 12 hours earlier, the driveway was covered again, mostly with blown snow.

The funny thing is that it was 40 today. There is still a lot of snow, especially in drifts, but I can see patches of grass in our lawn. I bet the snow will be melted by Friday. I don't know how much accumulation there was, but for us it's never about how much snow, but about how windy it is. I'm guessing it was about 7 inches, give or take. The boys had fun playing outside on their snow day.

Glad you got new equipment. That old stuff was getting a bit stinky.

new sports bras always make my day, but I am still in search of THE ONE

From Tracy on Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 20:40:33 from 50.103.236.137

I don't know. This one might be THE ONE for me at least. I got it at kohls, so it was cheap-ish and it supports the girls pretty well. I might buy a couple more...

April - don't tell Tracy that the girls are going to shrivel up once she stops nursing.

From Tracy on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 04:24:56 from 50.103.236.137

April, don't tell Burt that I know that already.

From Tracy on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 13:51:44 from 50.103.236.137

And Burt, don't tell your wife about your personal experience with shrively girls.

From Tracy on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 13:52:09 from 50.103.236.137

She probably doesn't want to know that you breastfed your kids on the sly.

From Tracy on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 13:52:28 from 50.103.236.137

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

From Burt on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 13:53:07 from 71.216.109.214

Just testing the theory that you can milk anything with nipples. (Sorry)

From Burt on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 13:53:52 from 71.216.109.214

Don't laugh at your own jokes!

From Tracy on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 14:10:29 from 50.103.236.137

Can you tell it took me all day to come up with that?

If I don't laugh at my own jokes, who will?

From Burt on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 14:18:59 from 71.216.109.214

It was a good one, but you're only laughing because you actually pictured me in your head doing that, hairy nipples and all.

From Tracy on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 14:23:04 from 208.54.36.187

You don't know the half of it. If I had a little more time, i'd doctor a picture...I don't think it would fit the whole "family friendly" thing, tho.

From Burt on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 14:49:01 from 71.216.109.214

Can't get much more family friendly than a man breastfeeding his child.
