The cool weather, some moments of snow, colds coming on -- Halloween must be near!!
Well - Halloween was fun this year. Derek & Hailey both did parades at school. Hailey's school goes through the gym, and Derek's goes around the block.
Here's Derek's preschool class along with his jail-bait teacher, Miss Carrie :)

I spent my Halloween morning running my second half marathon, the Halloween Half. It was a beautiful run -- starting up Provo Canyon at Aspen Grove, then ending down at the Riverwoods in Provo. It was a beautiful run, and I ended just 1 minute over my goal time (my finish time was 1:56). Now I'll have to sign up for another one so I can get my goal.
I ran with two of my girlfriends Stacie & Amber. Did I mention the Halloween Half encourages dressing up? We had a good time on our run! We were all "Mrs. Runner Up". Pretty easy costumes to work around our running gear! There were some very interesting costumes! Amber's daughter handed each of us a bouquet of flowers as we were approaching the finish line. It was fun!
In the later afternoon, our ward had a nice Halloween kickoff dinner with delicious soups, bread, dessert, hot cocoa & cider. The kids enjoyed a parade around the park.
Here are my kids, the little witch , the big witch and Buzz Lightyear (who smiles for no one)
This year I made skirts for Jenna & Hailey, and I was pleased at how they turned out! Especially since I don't profess to be a seamstress of any sort!
The little Witchie was my candy helper. Each time the bell would ring she would run to the door with delight!
Derek sorting out his spoils from his trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.
Hailey got a ton of treats as well! I'm implementing a 3 day rule. The kids can eat as many treats as they want for 3 days, and then it goes bye-bye. I've heard dentists say it's better to just get it over with, than to let them slowly rot their teeth out. Not all my kids have a zero-cavity track record with the dentist... I won't name names.
So, we'll see how this idea works out!
Hope you all had a fun Halloween, because we sure did!!

Those skirts are looking GREAT!! You should just claim to be a great seamstress and people will never guess otherwise!!
Wow!! A half marathon! Way to go, especially on Halloween.
And, the kids outfits are just too cute! Looks like they scored on the candy. Good luck keeping the sugar highs under control. :D
