Halloween!

We spent Halloween carving pumpkins, enjoying a Pumpkin Pizza (from Grandpa & Grandma), a Halloween Cookie Cake (from the Gootman family-one of my students) and of course Trick-or-Treating. The best part of the night was watching Dylan take inventory of his candy! We had a great family day!!

Gary Burns Fun Run

Ashley, Dylan and I ran/walked in the 10th Annual Gary Burns Fun Run. Dylan and I only participated in the Mile Run this year, but Ashley once again competed in the 5K. She beat her time of last year and ran it in 27 minutes. As always, we all had a great time and all the money raised benefits Frisco Education Foundation. What a great cause!

GAUMC Trunk or Treating

After Megan's birthday party we headed to church to go "Trunk or Treating". Very excited that Mike and Ashley made it home to go with us. Trunk or Treating is such a cute idea. Families decorate the trunks of their cars and the kids go from trunk to trunk to get their Halloween candy. After the fun, we enjoyed dinner by the Grace Avenue Meat Ministry and had a blast visiting with friends.

Megan's Birthday Party!

It was a month late, but we finally found a weekend where Megan could celebrate her birthday with her friends. Of course we had a change in softball plans so Ashley, Daddy and Grandpa couldn't make the party, but Dylan and Grandma were here to help me and to help celebrate with Megan. Morgan Sullivan was so sweet and came and helped me with the party as well. Much thanks to everyone. We had an old fashioned Costume Halloween Bash for her birthday. Megan dressed up as her FAVORITE book character FANCY NANCY. All of her friends came dressed in their costumes as well. They were all so cute!! They played Ping-Pong Pumpkin Toss, Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin, got tatoos, and had a blast trying to break down the Pinata. Dylan finally took a bat to the poor ghost and the candy went flying. We were going to Bob for Apples, but with all the sickness going around I thought we should pass on that. The kids enjoyed eating the apples though!! Of course they ate cupcakes and ice cream and many other goodies. We ended the party with Megan opening her gifts. She loved everything and had so much fun with all of her little girlfriends!!
