October Happenings

More of our busy October...

I "ran" a 5 K with my dear friend Sam and didn't die or come in last place...

whats that...ooh yes a woot woot!

(FYI: friends don't sign eachother up for 5k runs)

Proof we didn't die

and I would dare say the sweat is proof I worked hard

We had our annual dinner in a pumpkin.

I experimented this year and came up with a super yummy recipe...

watch for it on the cooking blog.

Doesn't look that good I know but it was fantastic and the kids LOVE it!

We dressed up for Halloween..

.as a witch and Superman to be exact

we trick or treated with our friends

the ballerina and a dirt biker

we even paused for a group shot...ooh tender

that snitch witch came along snitched the candy

and left calorie and cavity free goodies in its place



We also found time to pose for cute pics with Dad

Weekend in the ATL

October was a busy busy month for us! Ben had 2 weeks off work so we took advantage of that and skipped town. Our first adventure was to Atlanta for a weekend of baseball, the aquarium, and shopping! (My favorite was the shopping...go figure)

The kids had lots of fun at the Braves game...we gave into the hype of it all even despite the fact were not fans...well Ben claims the Cardinals.

(The a on my hat is clearly for awesome, amber, and amazing)

The Braves were tied so we went 2 extra innings so Easton put on his rally cap and we all cheered but they still lost. Oh and do you see proof that the said St. Louis Cardinals fan was participating in the cheering...

Atlanta has the worlds largest Aquarium so we ventured there for the day. It was cool and the kids loved it. We saw lots of fish...ooh go figure right. Eastons favorite was the whale shark...which I might add is H U G E!!!

I got in my own fun and hit up the outlets on our way home. Sorry no pics but I would hate for Ben to be reminded of the damage and have a full grown man twitching and rocking in the corner of his tent. Here's him and I at some point during that weekend...clearly before the shopping.
