Happy Halloween!!

Our first Halloween in Texas where we can wear shorts and no coats!

Landon had a pretty clever costume, but you have 
to see it in person to get the full effect. 

He cut the eye out of a T-shirt and taped his iPod 
underneath. Then he downloaded an App that 
would make the eye ball move around.
It was subtle, but awesome.






Emma was Katniss Everdeen from the book Hunger Games

Olivia was the cutest witch ever.

I carried on my 80's fitness theme from our adult party earlier that week.

Jeremy took the easy way out, but at least added the glove as an accessory. 


 We went to our friends' neighborhood where we found another Katniss.

As well as a bunch of other cute and crazy kids.

In the past, we would run from house to house really quickly
so we didn't freeze to death. 

This was a much different experience.

Every couple of houses would have a "Pit Stop" where the 
kids could eat their candy and rest and the adults could 
grab a drink, visit and have a snack.


Some had Haunted Houses for the kids.



Some had movies.

Halloween has always been my least favorite holiday, 
but after this year, I may have to reconsider!

Dash For Dads

Landon and Jeremy decided to run a 5k together. 
They found the perfect race since it is geared towards Dads
 and their kids, called "Dash for Dads"

About a week prior to the event, Jeremy crashed on 
his bike and hurt his hip pretty badly. 



Turned out it was lucky break for Landon 
so he could beat his Dad for the first time!


They had a lot of fun and decided to schedule another one for next weekend.

Liv's Kinder Class

There's a lot of things I love about Liv's class.
The class sizes here are much more reasonable
 than in Utah...there are only 17 kids.

and her teacher is silly...


The one downfall...

She's bored.

I know she will be challenged soon enough, but I had 
to share what she said today because it cracked me up.

"My teacher taught us vowels today.
VOWELS Mom. I learned those last year.
So I just looked down at the ground.
I saw a lady bug."
