I am prepared to lobby for an official Halloween date change from the 31st to the last Saturday of the month. Who's with me? Saturday Halloween is so perfect.
We had another busy week. Not sure why I bother even mentioning it since that seems to have become our theme. Earlier this week we got last minute tickets to the FC Dallas game. We ended up with great seats and we saw a win!
Sara's jog-a-thon, which had to be rescheduled because of rain last week, took place on Tuesday afternoon, and I left work a little early to watch her run. She ran hard, completing 8+ laps around the course. Thanks to our family members who donated, Sara raised $170 dollars. All proceeds go directly back to the school for teacher and student resources. I think this is such a great way to raise funds ... it's easy, no door-to-door, no trying to sell products people don't really want, and it promotes a healthy lifestyle for the kids to boot.
Of course we had to carve our pumpkins, too! It happened in two parts around the last softball game of the season. The girls enjoyed digging out the guts.
We all enjoyed snacking on some baked pumpkin seeds. Steve even got a little Pinterest-y on me and had the girls plant some seeds outside to see if they would grow ... and magically, baby pumpkins appeared when we checked the next morning. Seriously, his idea.
Friday at school, Sara had Book Character Day. She went as Nancy Drew.
I couldn't make it to the parade, but another mom sent me this picture. What a cutie.
Emma got to wear her costume to school for a party (recognize this one? Sara wore it years ago!).
It was a fun week, and now we are ready to trick-or-treat. The rain yesterday and today caused cancellations of last night's soccer practice and today's game, but we're sure not going to let it keep us from hitting the streets tonight. Happy Halloween!
Saturday night update:
Success!
