ghouls and gobblins

spooky sprint 2012, patty and i as bags of jelly belly jelly beans. we maybe should have practiced first, as we had a few malfunctions before the race started. luckily, we remedied the problem otherwise our beans would have been leaking out during the race.

 a crisp fall day
 way too many leaves
 do you know what we are? you either know it or ya don't... an adults only costume party, but a very "g" rated costume.
 my creative twist on a grilled cheese
 pumpkin carving
 messy job, but someone has to do it


kenya's is on the left and she did it all by herself, gibson's is the white pumpkin which is a fish sort of design and chaya's is on the right which is her design done by mom.
 drew's execution of my idea
 pumpkin waffles before night out trick-or-treating
 chaya and her witch dog
 gibson, the olympic swimmer
 it was so nice out again this year that we walked the whole evening. the best part was their enthusiasm. after almost every house, chaya would say with delight, "this is so much fun", she was giddy!
 
speaking of swimming, gibson had her first meet on november 2, 2012, in eden prairie. she has only been swimming with the club for less than a year, but was eager to try a meet.

 an overview of the six lane pool
 hard to see, but that is gibson diving in the far right lane six
 here she is in the last lane. she tried a relay, which she was the starting leg. they ended up getting 5th place. gibson was ecstatic!
