The kids have been doing all the fitness assessments during gym class at school.  They have to do so well in all the categories to earn a presidential fitness award.  They each ran the mile, Garrett's class ran first.  He came home with this award and time of 7 minutes 5 seconds for his mile time.  Lucy ran a few days later and I know she wanted to beat him so bad.  The two are so competitive.  She ended up running it in 7 minutes and 30 seconds, or something like that.  She came home a few days later and had said they let her redo her run with another class and she got 6 minutes and 50 something seconds.  She was proud of herself, and she should be because that's an awesome time.  I know she was mostly proud to beat her brother.  Either way we are proud of them both, thy did a great job running.    

 I had a box that the kids used to make little roads to drive their cars on.  The had fun sitting out on the deck driving their cars around.  Its funny that we have a million different car track toys and they get so excited about an empty blank box.
