I was invited to sub at a bunko party in the neighborhood on Friday night. I'm not usually the bunko-ing type, or so I though, but I really did have fun that night. Plus, it was lots of fun getting to know some of the neighbors. Immediately, I met 2 ladies from Texas. I started talking to this one lady who grew up in the Katy area. It was fun, she knew of Tomball, she knew Louetta, she was familiar with some of my old stomping ground. Then, I got to talking with the other lady from Texas. She asked where in Houston...Northwest suburbs...really me too, which one...Tomball...really me too...come to find out she lived in MY SAME neighborhood!! She lived just a few blocks away. I swear she looked familiar to me, before I even knew she was from Texas. CRAZY. She didn't live there very long, just about a year and a half. She said it was too hot and humid for her...wimp! haha. But isn't that so weird? Of all the places to live and then to move, we picked the same neighborhoods twice!
Hunter is turning 12 tomorrow. I CAN NOT believe it. I have been looking at old pictures of him tonight. It makes me sad, but oh so happy too. I love looking back at the oldies. It's funny to look at his little face and see all of his siblings in it. More on that tomorrow.
You know what else? I didn't feel like going to the gym...I felt like a good workout, but Monday is step day. I don't like step. Plus, I didn't feel like hitting the machines. SO, the kids and I went outside for some good old fashioned boot camp fun. We got out all the equipment that I had. Exercise balls, BOSU balls, weights, bands, jump ropes...you name we had it out there. And started playing. It was so fun. The hills around here are perfect. My street is a good one. I jog down then sprint back up. We did lunges, push ups...I say we but really I mean I. Hunter lasted about 15 minutes, Hannah 10, Hayden maybe 5, and Hope was just out to have a good time with her bike and car. Everybody was out playing anyway for the whole hour. Then at the end I walked up the path right by our house and did a little Yoga (on the trail) in the woods. It doesn't get much better than that! My legs/butt are sore tonight. Good sore.

crazy! its a small world!
I can't believe he is going to be 12 either. That is one fantastic young man you are raising.
I am so impressed with your hour boot camp. I probably would have lasted 5 minutes too.
I bet the neighbors were enjoying that boot camp. Yoga in the woods, now that is perfect. You do your own thing and make me so proud. Of course, I would have been hanging back with Hope on a lawn chair. Running into old neighbors from Tomball that is unbelievable. Happy Birthday to Hunter.
