Busy Saturday

It was a busy busy Saturday.  My dad and I signed up to be vendors at a craft fair held by Jameson's school.  My dad sold paracord bracelets and I crocheted pumpkins and leaf coasters.


We were modestly successful.  The craft fair seemed very busy; we had lots of shoppers stop at our table.  I sold all my coasters (which really surprised me) and a good number of pumpkins.  Enough that after accounting for all the yarn I bought I profited about $50.  That said, I don't think we will be going into the craft fair business.


While we were busy selling, Nate took Evelyn and Jameson to ballet and then to Millie's birthday party.  He came by school to see how things were going before taking the kids home in order to rest a little before trick-o-treating.


Sarah, Harper, Willow, and Violet came over to our neighborhood for trick-o-treating which was lots of fun for everyone.  We had Captain America, Anna, Elsa, Minnie Mouse and Tinkerbell.  


I wasn't going to wear my Elsa costume.  I was tired from the craft fair and it was cold outside, but Nate said he was going to dress up in his biking kit, so I changed my mind.  I do love dressing up for Halloween.


Super cute Violet.


The big kids.


One amazing house was giving out hot dogs and that's where we saw Evelyn's bus stop friend McKenzie.


A little bit later, Willow started to get cold and tired so Nate kept going with Evelyn, Jameson, and Harper while Sarah and I turned back toward the house with Violet and Willow.  I carried Willow for a bit which helped her perk up so we were able to stop by a few extra houses.  Back home I wanted a picture of the two Elsas.


Once back home, the kids helped my dad hand out candy.  Jameson lasted outside the longest.  We had 84 trick-or-treaters.  It was a long day, but a fun day.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall. 

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
