1st of the Halloweenies

Alexis:  What do you call someone who is afraid of Halloween?
Me:  I don't know, what?
Alexis:  A Halloweenie!

Here are some first pictures of the festiveness:

There will be more as the weekend goes on, yay!

Woah!

I find it hard to believe I haven't written anything since Alexis's map project.  I apologize for that!  So here's a synopsis of what we've been up to:

• the usual school, homework, workouts, etc
• we went to Terre Haute a couple of weekends ago for the Annual Thomas Family outing.  We went to Pumpkin Works on Saturday and McCormick's Creek on Sunday.  Abby and Murphy even got to go with us to the park.  I think they finally recovered on Wednesday...they were pretty tired!  But we all had a really good time!
• Kaylee and I spent my birthday enjoying each other's company.  At the last minute, Ryan and I got invited to the Make-A-Wish banquet and I needed to find a cocktail dress.  So Kaylee and I spent my birthday at the Greenwood Mall shopping.  She picked Chinese food for lunch and then we had a Berry-Pom smoothie.  It was a pretty good birthday!
• Ryan bought me a new stopwatch for my birthday.  It's very nice and is quite handy for my workouts.
• Tuesday night was the Make-A-Wish banquet.  The girls got to spend the evening with Gramma W.  I know they had a really good time, they always do!  Ryan and I mingled with the Colts and other professional type people.  It was a lot of fun for a good cause.
• Alexis went to her first slumber party Friday night.  I got a phone call at 11:45 stating that she was 'homesick' and ready to come home.  I wasn't really surprised.  And that's exactly why we didn't send her to camp this summer!
• Saturday we took Kaylee birthday shopping back at Greenwood mall.  We ate Chick-Fil-A and took her to the Disney store.  She picked out a couple of Wall-E toys. 
• Sunday morning Alexis woke up not feeling well...she's got the flu.  Her highest temp so far has been 102.6 but we are managing the illness well at home, so I highly doubt we will be making any trips to the ER.  Say a prayer that none of the rest of us catch it!  We've got big plans this weekend!
• Fall break is this week yay!
• We have big plans of going to ISU's homecoming and celebrating Kaylee's 5th birthday with the Terre Haute crowd this weekend. 

So that's what we're up to.  Here are a few picture highlights from all of our fun
