Boosterthon 2010

Lauren's school started a couple of weeks ago so it's time to bring on the fund-raisers. We had our first one last Friday. Lauren did an awesome job getting sponsors (well actually her mom did) and in doing so she won a lot of prizes. **silly bandz, neon football, launching something or other, water bottle and count them...3 t-shirts** WOW! A big thanks to all the family members who donated money to a great cause. (L's public education)

The Boosterthon Fun Run began with a healthy warm-up.
Lauren is the short blond dead center.

The Boosterthon organizers put on a highly energetic pep rally.
They were actually pretty amazing!

and they're OFF!
(L was a bit grumpy because she fell down on take-off)

She was still grumpy during the "clap a lap"

She cheered up, however, after a water break and then ran her little heart out.
She completed 35 out of 35 laps.
Way to go Lauren!

She was very proud of what she accomplished at the Boosterthon. That morning she told me she was going to run all of the laps. I had to wait until the organizers made the kids take a break to get her to drink some water. She just wanted to Run...Run...Run.

On Saturday, Matt hosted a fantasy football draft in the basement. In order to make the evening more exciting for Lauren and Tyler, I acquired some extra kiddos. Ian and Eric's parents were at a triathalon party (like I'd know what that was) and Troy's dad was in the basement fantasizing about football. Lauren and Tyler were very happy to have friends over to play.

We ate dinner...

...and we watched a movie.

The other 2 hours were complete chaos but everyone had a great time.
