Five for Friday--Halloween Edition

{Ann, Me & Betsy}

1. I reconnected with a good friend from high school this week; Ann is still good friends with Betsy, and talked to her last weekend after I left. She's been reading my blog (I'm not sure for how long) and decided to email me. It has been fun catching up with her through emails back and forth all week, plus she started her own blog! Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging Ann!

2. My mom, Lori and I went to Whitney's basketball game the other night (she's the only girl on the team) and experienced a most uncomfortable hour of bleacher sitting. Seriously, I'm going to need a tush-cush or something because it was grim.


It was nice having Lori and my mom there though to chat with, otherwise that would have been an even longer hour. Randy is helping coach her team (basketball is NOT my sport).


3. I'm loving the fall weather, even though it's not nearly as beautiful as the fall I experienced in Michigan last week, and have been trying to soak it up. I love seeing all the pumpkins on porches, the leaves falling from the trees, and the Halloween decorations around town.


Our pumpkins are not aging well. They've been carved for 11 days and are looking all kinds of scary because of the rot going on inside them...ew!


4. Last night was our last flag-football game of the season. Landon made a touchdown and we ended up with a 19-19 tie! We're both sad that football is over because we love it so much. The season was only 8 games long and I missed 2 of them while I was in Michigan so it went way too fast for me.


5. Landon and Whitney are both dressed like pirates for Halloween. I don't know how they decided on being the same thing (they never coordinate costumes) but it sure made things easy for us. Randy worked his magic this morning with pirate make-up, bandanna tying and belt placement; the kids were psyched! (Notice the pictures Whitney drew with the mustard on her bread.)

I am in charge of Whitney's Halloween party at school this afternoon, then we're off to my Grandma Dot's house, then to Adam and Amy's house for trick-or-treating. Tomorrow we've got a basketball game and Whitney's baptism...it's a big weekend.

Do you suffer from bleacher butt?
What costumes are happening at your house?**
