Halloween Costumes

Gigi chose to be a unicorn (of course!) for Halloween and Liam chose a dragon. They make pretty cute mystical creatures! :) It was pretty cold outside when I was taking these pics and Liam was having a difficult time, as you can see below...

and my handsome dragon

and some silly pics, of course!

Emoji Pumpkins

Gigi and Liam both picked out what they wanted to carve in their pumpkins. They went with an emoji theme this year -- Liam picked the poop emoji and Gigi picked the face with the stuck-out tongue. I think Adam and I did a pretty good job!

Monster Dash

On October 28th I ran the Monster Dash half marathon with a group of girls I know from church. I finished in 2:16:45 with a pace of 10'28". My goal pace was to be under 10'30" so I was happy to accomplish that! I trained hard and shaved off over a minute per mile from my last half. I'm not super fast but have been working hard all summer to improve my pace. Here we are after the race...

Halloween Decor

I love decorating for Halloween and had fun this year. I found these cute little skeletons at CVS for like $4.00 each and so I had to get a few of them...

bats on the gallery wall, and Buddy keeping watch!

Pumpkin Patch

One of my favorite Fall activities is going to the pumpkin patch to let the kids pick out a pumpkin. The weather was perfect and Gigi and Liam had a great time riding around in the wagon to find the perfect pumpkin!

The cutest lil' pumpkins in the patch! :)

Halloween Cookies

Gigi and Liam love making sugar cookies with me. In fact, they are Gigi's favorite cookie! She asks to make them for every holiday. They sure are great little helpers! :)

Enjoying the finished product!

Swim Lessons

Gigi and Liam both took swim lessons this Fall and loved it. They are both becoming such good little swimmers!
