Turkey Trot 2011

After I ran my first 5K back in October I thought it might be fun to do a Thanksgiving day run.  I thought it would be even more fun to get everyone involved.  I couldn't think of a better way to negate all of those calories we were about to take in that day than running a few miles.

 It was a brisk 38 degrees that morning at 7:15, but at least it wasn't raining.  Here is the whole crew minus Paul....he was taking the picture.  Me, Brad, Sherri, Marcie (Jenn's BFF) and Jenn

 Jenn was a good sport considering I sort of roped her into it and didn't give her much of a choice.

 It was a pretty cool experience.  I hope to do it again next year but I plan to have the kids run it too.

My BIG reader

Tyson brought home his STAR Reading Diagnostic Report this week. I could not be more proud!!! His GE (grade equivalent) is a 4.5, which means he's reading at the level of a fourth grader who has completed his fifth month of school. He also achieved a National Percentile Rank (PR) of 98. This score is in the above average range which means my Buddy scored greater than 98% of students nationally in the same grade. Not bad for my 2nd grader in his 3rd week of school! Way to go Buddy!!!

Handsome and smart!!! I hope he continues to enjoy reading.
