{halloween shenanigans}

i must say halloween is a favorite around here. We had fun hitting up some various shindigs during the week, and had Nora's birthday party on sunday--needless to say we were getting sick on candy/treats...ya...Zoee had a few throw-up incidents. The kiddos were all sorts of excited for trick or treating this year. The weather was seriously grand, so we were tearing up the neighborhood trying to fill the treat bags. The kiddos were sprinting from house to house--we have taught them well:)
Then we headed back to my mom's house for the traditional chowder and yum eats. Is it really November? where did the summer run off to?
ashley-saw your previous comment--i have been meaning to do a post about running/training, but not sure what all to include--anything specific you were wanting?

Those kids of yours, they've got some darn good genes! Love all of their costumes. And I must say your man can rock that stash like no other.
Also, you are looking gorgeous as always! Love those green skinnies on you.

That is the cutest little crew! Looks like Halloween was a blast.

Teandra said...

You've inspired me to run! I'd like to know about your favorite running/training websites, a good place to get gear, and if you run in the winter or hit the gym, and if so, which one!?

Aja said...

That pic of the kiddos running up the street is awesome! They all look so cute! And that Nora is such a pretty baby girl :)

Ashley said...

you totally rock those colored skinnies. i love them. and the kiddos are adorable as usual!

i know you were referring to a different ashley, but I would love some tips on increasing speed, I know you said you had some workouts. also, do you run a lot while pregnant? i think i want to do a marathon at some point, but i also want another little one. trying to figure out how much i could run while pregnant (which I'm not right now, fyi :o). i obviously wouldn't train for a marathon while pregnant, but I definitely don't want my mileage to completely disappear.

Libby said...

Even though getting all costumed up for different events is kind of yikes, I do love Halloween. Pete and Levi were having so much fun that they went out twice that night!!

Your kiddies look adorable and so do your cute nieces. I'm jealous of that little bumble bee's piggies. I don't think Blair will hit that milestone for a few years yet!

Of course, your green pants are amazing. You always look gorgeous.

Amber said...

Happy Halloween! Looks like you all had a blast. The girls are so cute, but I especially love Caleb's costume -- black eye and all!

Cute cute. I remember that fun Halloween party we had at your house when Piper was almost 2. That was so fun and I have the cutest pictures of her on your front porch. Crazy now we all have a lot of old kids! I dont think anyone is brave enough to have playdates anymore.

You guys look way too cute. Those little girls are too sweet! Random, but have any fabulous girl names that didn't make the cute from when you had to name those two cuties? I am having the hardest time trying to pick one and need to keep the options rolling in! So glad you guys had a fun Halloween!
