Halloween came-n-went; State Vball with Cassie

Yup---Halloween came and went. Zoooooooooooom! And despite having good intentions of updating the blog every day last week.......

Welll.....Friday came along just tooooooo fast!

And by the time Friday rolled around, we were on the road traveling to Gma's house to pitstop before heading to State Volleyball Saturday morning in Green Bay.

Not everyone understand the choice of traveling 5 hours one way to watch volleyball for less than 4 hours, and then......travel 5 hours back home.

BUT....the memories created will never go away.

There weren't any teams playing that we knew....but it was simply a way to enjoy some time together, and {{hopefully}} be inspired for her volleyball years ahead.

THANKS for meeting up with us, Sister Jenny! Sadly, Cassie ended up getting sick Saturday night, so the rest of her weekend was NOT as enjoyable.

This picture was taken on Halloween evening. It was a GLORIOUS autumn Wisconsin evening! 50's.

The time change almost caught me off guard tonight. I finished my run (at school) just after the sun had set, FORGETTING that the sun will set before 5:00 now.....so, I don't think I'll be seeing too many more of these pictures at home until next Spring.

SO yeah.......trying to get back to some running. Thinking about signing up for a gym membership since our insurance offers an incentive program for reimbursement of partial membership fees. Actually, it was to the gym where I ran tonight from school (~1.25 miles one way). The owner was pleasant; toggling between talking with me and instructing a small fitness class (which I'm also thinking of signing up for; 3xweek). I used to be a member of this gym YEARS ago before the management had changed. The new owner has REALLLLLy done a nice job with updating it and it's purdy dang schnazzy now!

As for quilting......

**insert super big sad face**

I was hoping to spend some time with the machine yesterday, but.....I spent NINE HOURS at my kitchen table grading papers, tests and prepping for the week ahead. IN-SANE! I was quite thankful for the "extra" hour.

Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet....

Happy Halloween everyone, and what a B-U-TI-FUL night it was! Wow----considering Wisconsin temps were plummeting in the 20's earlier this week, tonight was a perfect 60 degrees for Trick-or-Treating. We headed out at 5:30 (after taking almost an HOUR to get ready.) I mean, really!!!! How much makeup does Dad need to PUT on a girl?!?!?!?!? ;0)
I tell ya, we have enough candy to last for a YEAR! I didn't think of taking a picture of the entire load of candy we arrived back home with!

We had a Witch








...an angel













... and a Raggedy Anne













and a VERY dirty tub at the end of the night (that still needs cleaning. I guess that is what weekends are for, huh?)


The girls are in 'mom-n-dad's' room right now, relaxing with a movie. I would be pretty confident saying they are probably sleeping by now----but then again, they DID do their share of eating their "load" tonight, so........

Hopefully all your Halloween endeavors were safe tonight.
Happy Friday.
