What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously.

The kids at the trunk or treat were so cute tonight. Gwen looked awesome, walking around in a little fish costume, I believe. She had her little boo bucket from the baby shower I had for her mom. Tyson and Avery looked adorable. Caleb looked so cute and green. Hannah made the hippest nerd ever. Kathrine was a beautiful prom queen. Livie was Batgirl and such a doll. Kaitlin rocked as an elephant with the sweetest manners. It's always so fun to see the kids in their costumes.
Jenny and Jared, always stylin' at Halloween, were Marge and Homer and looked hilarious.
