Fun Fall Times

Just goofing off in the back yard!  The next day I buried Evelyn in leaves and she didn't want to get out.  Face and everything.  So silly. 

Halloween Festivities

The girls participated in a TON of Halloween festivities.  The neighborhood Oktoberfest and Halloween Parade (organized by Mommy), Halloween parade and Song Fest at school, and of course Halloween Trick-or-Treating.  Evelyn stuck with Ariel and Sylvia created her own idea, calling herself Sleeping Beauty fairy/butterly princess (or something like that).  The one thrown in the middle was picture day!

Huge Deal for Mommy!  Completed the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday, October 28th.  With hurricane Sandy threatening to ruin the day, it could have been terrible.  But, it was AWESOME.  I felt strong the whole time and not even too sore after!

Here are some fun stats (note, I was hoping to finish before 4hrs45min, as that was consistent with my training...so pleased with overall time).  My splits were super consistent except for the end ... I actually got FASTER on the last 10K.  What an amazing experience and I will definitely do another! 

Note, all this training was done Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:15am!  That means on long run days I was up at 4:30am!  I only skipped 2 short runs (4 miles) and one medium run (10 miles) due to vacations.  Hard work really does pay off!

Cupcake Decorating

We weren't able to attend Kaitlyn's birthday party due to the marathon, so we had her over to make cupcakes.  Messy fun! 

Pre-Halloween Fun

 Fun pre-Halloween pictures.  Carving pumpkins and making pumpkin treats.   

Fun Pictures from the Last Month

Lots of happenings with friends and a visit from Grandpa!  Here are a few pictures of some recent good times!  I find it hilarious that Evelyn is eating in nearly every picture.  That girl could eat all day and still doesn't weigh 30 lbs.
