I sew sometimes. Not very well, and not very often, and definitely not very efficiently. But I had this idea to try to make a swimsuit cover-up for Anna out of a towel, and I thought certainly I wasn’t the first one to have this brilliant idea, so I went Googling… and I found a great tutorial! It’s even cuter than what I had envisioned, and the pieces are all rectangles and the seams are all straight lines, so that’s my kind of sewing!

Next I’m going to make one for Sarah from the other end of the towel. Maybe I’ll even start making them to sell! At the rate I sew, I’d have to charge about $100 each to make a decent hourly wage… you think I’d have any takers? Nah, neither do I. :)

I’ve run a few 5Ks before, but this year I’ve been working towards the Toad Suck 10K. And wouldn’t you know it, they have a “Tadpole Trot” for the little’uns, so we asked Anna if she would like to run in a real race like Mommy, and she unhesitatingly said yes! So I ran my first 10K and Anna ran her first race on the same day!

I finished in about an 11-minute mile pace, which is slower than my usual, but it was hot and VERY humid, so my goal was to keep trotting along at a reasonable pace that would enable me to finish the thing on my feet instead of a stretcher.

Mommy and Anna!
