So, Halloween isn't really here yet, but as you all know there are many activities that lead up to the actual event. Bayley and Kendal love Halloween...they love ALL holidays, but they start talking about next year's Halloween in November and then the talk does not stop. Bayley decided she was going to be a Mermaidia Fairy, from the Barbie Fairytopia book and DVD. We got her costume last year and after trying in on throughout the year she was pleased with this costume. Well, after wearing it to the fall festival I assumed that would be her costume for Halloween. Then came the church Fall Festival celebration last night. The primary announced that there would be prizes for the best costumes, so Friday night Bayley decided that she didn't like the Fairy costume anymore and that she wanted to be a mummy. Well, after explaining to her that we did not have what she needed to be a mummy I helped her go through our dress-up stuff and we found a clown costume that looked pretty cute on her. She will tell you I forced her to wear it, but I did give her a choice...the fairy costume or the clown costume. Tell me you don't think she looked cute????
Kendal was a cute giraffe...she chose that costume over a pumpkin and bumble bee costume and Trey was a puppy dog. Even Jeff dressed up...the girls talked him into wearing the Frankenstien bolts over his cap. We had a great time at the festival where the kids played games like Donut on a string, the cake walk, and did a mummy craft.
Monday night for Family night the girls helped Jeff carve the pumpkin. They had a great time and I think the results were pretty good. In fact, we ended up winning the prize at the fall festival for the funniest pumpkin...the girls were excited.
An update on the week would not be complete without a running update. I ran 11 miles yesterday...I have reached the intense training weeks leading up to the 1/2 marathon in December. After mile 8 I was in pain...my hip flexors, knees and shins are not quite conditioned for that much running yet. Hopefully it will get better because it really wasn't that much fun. Only 5 more weeks until the big race though...I can see the end in sight!!!

Congratulations on the pumpkin contest! I loved the costumes! We didn't dress up for our trunk or treat but little Nate was a little monkey and was so cute!
Great job Bayley on your Ghost story! Sounds like you are having a great "fall" season. The boys are equally excited about Halloween tomorrow! Enjoy all the candy.....
I love the costumes. I was a clown in the 2nd grade...Bayley looked great as a clown! Next Halloween will be a fun one with Nate ~ your kids look like they had a great time!
