Happy Halloween Birthday Abby!

We started the party with presents.

Benson wanted in the stroller pretty bad.

Miah the peacock.

Group costume photo.

It was a pretty chilly morning. It's a good thing Ellie is at the age where she doesn't care if her coat ruins her costume!

Zoo Boo activities.

It finally started to get warm, although she's still wearing two long sleeve shirts and stretch pants under her witch tights.

Benson loved the Bears!

Miah won the costume contest for her age group of course! She kept whacking people with her feathers though!

Ellie was being a grumpy witch!

Coat back on after photo op.

Cousin photo!

Ellie is supposed to be this witch, and as an afterthought, Benson looks kind of like this cat too!

And finished with cupcakes! 

Phew, naptime.

Two of My Favorites

I had to add a couple more from Grammy's camera. Great pictures.

Pumpkin Patch

Wagon ride to the pumpkin patch

Corn maze

What's wrong with Benson?

An early moon in the sky

We brought home 100 lbs of pumpkins! 

My pumpkin is clearly the most awesome. His teeth definitely look better in daylight though.

Peek a Boo

Mean Nurses

Well this sad boy is 15 months old and weighs 23 lbs 10 oz (37%), but is 33 in tall (93%). Poor kid had to have 4 different needle pokes. Ellie, on the other hand, got out of there easy with only a nasal spray flu vaccine. She will finally talk to the doctor, but will only say "yes." To Everything. Including, do you have a pet, do you go to preschool, do your parents smoke, and have they taught you how to smoke? Everything. So helpful. She also asked the nurse if she was Doc McStuffins. 

Quite the Get-up

Abby's soccer game with mommy's medal, a witch's cape, and an ISU pompom to top it off.

Just Cuz Half Marathon

Prerace picture

Starting line at Crystal Summit. Don't mind Richard Simmons there on the left.

Camille had so much energy, she was taking pictures along the way! This is about mile 8.

Those last two miles are a killer! Official time 1:53:10, placed 17 of 67 in my age group, 34 of 181 women, and 67 of 254 overall.

My fan club. This was my first half marathon since having these two wild kids. It was a beautiful fall day for a run.

Ellie really likes Mommy's necklace. She wore it most of the day.
