First 5K!

It's funny...in MY mind, I was the one that was supposed to be running a race this Fall, but instead it was Ben. 2nd place in the 18 and under division of the Fireman's 5K put on by several area businesses. Maybe I will have a running buddy in the future!

My Two Acolytes

Proud MOM moment...loved seeing Ben and Ava walk down the aisle at church as Acolytes during Sunday morning service. I remember doing this as a child...very special memories.

Costume Winners!

We managed to scrounge up costumes despite my "disability" this year. (Sorta hard to shop PERIOD with a broken hip, two crutches and no extra arms to carry stuff. Plus, after my traumatic experience on the motorized scooter at Wal-Mart, I pretty much resigned myself to groceries via Will...but that's another post.) The kids got to go to our annual Trunk or Treat at our church AND the Fall Festival at the school. The Mad Scientist received 1st place honors in his age group, and the Flapper got 3rd. Ava's friend Karsen, got 2nd. Fun Fun!
