This is for you Kevin. Ha kidding. So tonight I was ordered to make the blandest tasting food because tomorrow Mike decided he is going to run a FULL marathon. Really, I think people train for this for a reason. 26 miles (that's how far right?) is a really long way. I know Mike can do anything he wants, but really? I don't think he's ran more than 10 miles since we've been here. He thinks the allure of it is that he has just up and decided to run this marathon. He thinks it's pretty cool that he hasn't been training and that he will wake up in the morning and say huh I'm gonna go run a marathon today. I will be sure to take a picture of him before he leaves and a picture of him in his state after the marathon. I figure I'll be able to make a trip to BJ's come home and then go to the finish before he's even close to done...Maybe. I have this hope that he'll finish relatively quick and show me up on my negative thinking.
In other news the weather has been FANTASTIC here in Falls Church and D.C. so we've been outside a lot. We made a trip to the National Air and Space Museum where Finn promptly separated himself from me and gave me a slight freak out, but not wanting to show what a bad mom I am (in the eyes of D.C. parents) I didn't say a word, just wandered around till I found him. Not too big of a deal. Finn has known for a long time that all he has to do is find an adult and tell them he lost his mom. I have always felt like people are judging me for the way I mother my children. I'm not totally "free-range" but I would like to not have to keep an eye out every second of every day. Finn is at least smart enough to have a little lesson or talking to before we go somewhere then he knows what to do, but maybe not so much Maggie. The fact that Finn is like that I don't feel I have to actually watch him so I can watch Maggie and hopefully teach her so it will actually be easy to live our lives stress free. This makes me like the concept of living abroad more because most people in other countries are not hovering hens like we are.
