Halloween and 5K Challenge

This was the first year that Jack actually went trick or treating. We first had a party at playgroup where there were lots of snacks and crafts. Jack wore his pumpkin outfit that Grandma Salvato got and Patrick had on a cute pumpkin onesie. That night we first went to a mall where they had trick or treating, which was ok, but I wanted Jack to have the real experience of trick or treating at houses and seeing all the decorations. So we drove around looking for a nice neighborhood and I walked house to house with Jack. He seemed to really like it, he didn't want to get back in the car! Thank you Jack for getting mommy and daddy some candy! :)

All ready to go tricks or treating!

Saturday morning I ran in the 5K Challenge race sponsored by State Farm. It wasn't a huge race, which was good since I havn't ran in forever. I actually have not run 3 miles since BEFORE I got pregnant! My time was just under 29 minutes, which is not that good, but was happy considering I havn't been running much. But now my friend, who I ran with Saturday, is into running now so we're keeping each other motivated and have plans to run in some upcoming races. Once a week we are taking turns watching each others kids while the other runs. This is a big help for me since it is so hard to run with Mike's schedule.

This is a busy week coming up. Tuesday is Election Day! It's my first time voting so I'm excited - I just hope the right guy wins!! Wednesday my grandma and George will be here for the night. I'm excited for them to meet Patrick for the first time.
Have a good week!
