Let's Get Dirty: Dirty Dash

I am so glad I had a bit of time to scrap lately. I used the Coral #1 layout from Scrapbook Steals for this layout and I'm so happy with the results.I cut the flower out of the background with my Cameo and put some orange Chevron from MME behind it.

Flickin' ink on my thickers!

I love how DIRTY my kids are and how NOT DIRTY I am. I had already run 3.5 miles earlier that day with my girls and this time around I tried to stay as far out of the mud as possible. Both my boys went all the way under in the last mud pit.

Studio Calico Mr. Huey's to dirty up my paper.

Homemade white ink for spotches.
And that's how you do dirty people! My kids are hoping they can do it again next year.

Albuquerque Color Run

Remember that layout I did about being a "Runner". Well I'm trying. On Saturday morning I woke up LATE because my alarm didn't go off at 5:30 like I had set it and rushed out the door to make it to this race. It's a 5k fun run and I mostly enjoyed it :)

We waited for quite some time to start "racing".

Throughout the run their are color stations where you are squirted with brightly colored cornstarch (I liked this part because I got to slow down a bit).
That's myself, Danielle, and Laurel.
The last leg of the run was really hard for me and I wanted to walk oh so badly but Laurel wouldn't let me. She's amazing! (she ran a half without even gearing up for it...just did it).

And at the very end of the race they have this awesome "Color Festival" where everyone pulls out the color packet they received and throws it! Can you tell that I had red and Laurel had pink?

Great way to get out there and exercise. Seriously, maybe in two weeks at the Dirty Dash I won't have to slow down...yeah right...I can dream though. We finished in 33 minutes and that's even with me stopping for a potty break in the middle :).
Have a great Sunday!
