Halloween

We actually made some decorations this year, after constant "encouragement" from the girls :-) Isabelle found many ideas from familyfun.com, which is where we got the instructions for these bats we made with little pumpkins. So much fun to make together, and looked great on our mantel. I also made the wooden pumpkins at a Relief Society Super Saturday.


And the costumes!! Everyone loved their costumes and had a lot of fun dressing up for the couple of parties we went to as well as trick-or-treating on the day... Soren was the cutest little batman ever, look at him on his trike in the last picture--he ditched it early on in the trick-or-treating as it slowed him down :-) Clark was the perfect little Superman. I plan to make that his costume every year until he figures out that other kids aren't always the same thing every year. How can I not? He's got Superman's name!

Some stuff

I ran my first half marathon!!! October 23. Here I am before the race with my running pals, Alison Morriss and Elena Rodriguez, my old neighbors. It was hilly and turned out to be a lot harder than my training had prepared me for! But I'm glad I did it, it was a great experience. I might stick with 10K races in the future :-)


Soren and Clark here, so cute! We go for bike rides sometimes around the lake in our subdivision and feed the ducks...

Cora is so cute here - she has lately been obsessed with multiplication. She'll write out on paper or chalkboard any ones she knows. They aren't teaching it yet in 1st grade of course, but she's been learning it from Isabelle!
