what a weekend...

we were so excited for this weekend to get here because grandpa was coming friday night! we had a great time with him and love him so much!

i almost ran a 5k on saturday. here is a photo of our little group of running girls. it was on goat island, which is where you go to look at niagara falls on the american side. it's a lovely view, even with lots of rain (which there was!).
i only ran about half of it, due to my lack of lung function. i've had some sort of crazy gamboo, and have been coughing up a storm. i thought i'd be able to run, and did for 1 1/2 miles, but when i came around the corner and saw ryan, the girls and dad, i decided i was done.
here we are after (below). i felt almost as good as i look. (i think i look so much like my dad here) the other girls did a great job. so, tomorrow i'm headed to the dr for some help and then i'm trying another race in two weeks. hopefully it'll be a better experience!

aftie (the snow queen) had her first grown-up halloween party on saturday evening. so, we are really workin' the costume this year. she had a great time with a bunch of dressed up little girls at her friend's home. afton quickly figured out this little craft, that was given as a party favor, and hooked us all up tonite for a fun, family craft. we now have a little family of toilet paper roll pumpkins! our girl is such an organizer. the downside is that we were almost out of toilet paper, so i'll be running to sam's club tomorrow to restock.
in other news...we're supposed to have a foot of snow either tomorrow or tuesday. here we go again...

Aftie looks so cute! Props for running you are so good, hopefully you can get that gumboo thing fixed though.

Well, I hope you feel better, not only for running, but because who wants to feel like crap!?
