Happy Halloween

Halloween looked a little different this year. We decided no trick-or-treating which we had prepared the kids for in advance. So instead I bought a bunch candy and toys (mostly from the dollar store) and put up a few extra decorations last night. Evelyn and Jameson woke up and they each had a bucket of treats and one bowl of tricks. 


The best trick was the exploding pumpkins.  We did the experiment a few times making different changes, trying to get the best reaction.   





A nearby church hosted a drive thru trunk-or-treat. It was very nice and not crowded at all. The kids got some pretty good candy too. 


From there we went to the zoo one last time.  We were at the zoo opening day and closing day this year. 





We took a few more pictures back at home. Then Evelyn and Jameson watched a not-so-scary movie on Netflix before dinner. 



We turned all our outdoor lights off and no one came to our door. It was a little sad to not trick-or-treat but it was still 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.
