Thankfully, we were able to squeeze in lots of fun before snow season turns into blizzard season.
A few weekends ago, Goo got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa while Travis, Ryan, Ashley and I headed South for Scott and Alicia's big day.
Goo was great in the car - practicing his texting skills on my old phone ...
At the wedding, Travis was the best man and Ryan was an Usher ....
The wedding went off without a hitch - well, except for that one part where the minister spit on the bride, but we still had our happy ending ...
Maybe a little too happy, but I digress ...
The weekend after, I did something I never in a million years dreamed I'd do ... ran (ok, walked) a 5k.
I'm sure the "real" runners really appreciate it when people stop to take pictures on their cell phones, but it was just too cool not to document! My goofy friend Shannon "ran" with me ...
After a fabulous finish (47.17 - all but the last .17 were walked, by the way) - I went home and got ready for company! Grandma and Grandpa L came, along with Ryan, Ashley and the adorable Miss C.
We took the kiddos to the Children's museum, where they checked out the exhibits, painted pumpkins, and posed for pictures (or not). :)
Later that day the girls and Goo went to the mall where we did a little shopping and a little dino-land playing. Miss C informed me over dinner that she just needed some "girl time" - too cute!
After the kiddos were nearly ready for bed, goofy Shannon (see above) and her hubby joined us and we headed to the Haunted Farm. We met up with this guy:
... screamed (some of us more than others) and had a super fun time. We then headed back to the house and squeezed in some cards and some Trivial Pursuit (oh, and maybe some, um, adult beverages) until we gave up and finally went to bed.
Sunday we the in-laws headed for home and we headed out to the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch with Shannon's family. Here's her "Bug" and Goo ... just 6 months apart, we imagine they'll be good buddies as they grow!
All in all, a crazy fun couple of weeks again - time goes too fast! Seems like that jolly old guy in the red suit will be here before we know it. *sigh* ... until next time!
