Busy, Busy!

The last few weeks have been very full!  Here's a recap in ten on tuesday style:

 

1. October 21st was Hartley's second birthday. We baked her doggie cupcakes (edible by humans) and Kayley and Cole made her birthday hats.

 

Please note that I was a previous judger of people who did these sorts of things for their dog. But times have changed. I am now one of those people.

 

 

2. Mr. Cole lost his second top tooth!

 

3. The contest at my gym is up and running! No starchy carbs except for first thing in the morning and after a workout is really hard but it's forcing me to incorporate more protein, veggies and healthy fats into my meals. Believe it or not, the salad below was absolutely amazing and totally satisfying!

 

4. I had two ninjas in my house on Halloween. They had such a great time dressing up! We also carved pumpkins and baked the seeds but I don't have pictures.

 

5. Fun times at Trunk or Treat as usual. Weird how my kids seem to be getting a little old for it. I think we might just go trick or treating next year. Or smash pumpkins.

 

6. I stayed at Lindsay's house this weekend and came across this little gem. Nothing like a fat girl picture to keep me humble. It's also a nice reminder that it's not cool to consume an entire Marie Callendars pie in one week...by myself.



 

7. The Color Run 5k was the most fun I've had in a while! Here we are pre-mess!

 

 

Mid run!

 

 

I finished!

 

Krista and Jo finishing! Props to Jo for running this after the stomach flu the day before. Way to go champ!

 

 

The whole crew, messy as can be. Joanna's shirt was older the the rest of ours so the color stuck better.

 

Sister fun!

 

 

It's not easy being green

 

 

There's a Color Run in February of next year and I would like to do it. I would also like to do the Dirty Girl mud run next fall. We'll see!

 

8. Is anyone else glad the election is over? I'm trying to stay off Facebook because I'm sick of people whining and gloating about the results.

 

9. Tyler interviewed for his job October 31st last year and started working on December 5th. I cannot believe it's almost been an entire year! I'm so thankful for his job. He works his butt off, too. Thanks, babe!

 

10. The next couple of months are going to be even busier than the last few weeks! I love that the holidays are here and there will be lots to write about I'm sure!
