We are so proud of Lillie and Samuel. They ran the Kids Rock Marathon again this year. They have been going to school early and running a mile each day. Then today they ran the last mile at a downtown park with about 1,800 other elementary school kids for a total of 26.2 miles. What an awesome tradition! We did this last year with some kids and teachers from school and we always have a blast. You guys worked hard and we are so proud of you!

Halloween 2012
Grant planted a pumpkin at pre-school. We were all super excited when it grew! It got about an inch taller by the end of the day that I took this pic so we planted it in our garden. We talked about how awesome it would be when we had a pumpkin ready in March ; ) Then we went out the next day to check on it... it had been eaten up. And that was my kids scary Halloween story for the season. Poor Grant. Although, I believe I was more broken up than he was.

Yeah, we don't get all dressed up and cute for this thing like we used to.
But they had fun anyway. They probably had more fun since I didn't try to make them cute.
So Lillie likes to try to sew. I think it's awesome! Here she made Gracie a Halloween costume out of left over material from her witch's cape. Gracie totally loved it and hasn't taken it off since (said sarcastically)

Ready for Trunk-or-Treat

And finally, rounding out the season with the actual trick-or-treating night on the 31st. Samuel found a 25 cent costume at a garage sale and decided at the last minute to use it and be a ninja. I told them that next year it's all about the garage sale finds. Happy Halloween everyone!
