Halloween Party 2009!

Last year I was in NY to get Rei from the Guide Dog Foundation and thus I missed the annual party we have for our friends and family.

This year though was a lot of fun as we all donned the costumes and we had a good group of friends and family come. :)

Rei and I in costume- her's is rather fitting I think! ;) Mine obviously does not- but hopefully that'll change in my training for the mini marathon! ;)



Hubby dressed up as the dealer:


And here are the girls, with Miss J, who was staying with us for the weekend as her mom and dad were travelling to come home. Miss J the ballerina, MD as the mermaid, and KT as Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter. :)

Euchre going on the big table- a big Uno game going on the Kids table. LOL!

New dining room table finished!!!! :D

Hubby worked long and hard on this table and we are THRILLED with it!

We stained it to match the chairs we got from Craigslist, another good deal as well! We found them all for under $200 and they are real oak chairs that are in immaculate shape!

Here's the table as Hubby put the felt on and into the chip trays:


The finished table with the chairs:


KT playing with the poker chips:

Soccer End of Season for KT & Hubby~

So we came to the end of the soccer season in mid October. It was a good weekend, other than as Hubby was warming up with the kids, he went to stop a ball and one foot went on the ball and the other didn't plant. Needless to say, hubby went down like in the cartoons- someone slipping on the banana peel. Bad part was, hubby fell with his elbow turned in and right into his ribs.

Results- trip to the dr, x-rays to confirm bruised, not broken ribs, and some really good drugs for a week.

Soccer season- Kids did well and each got thier trophies from Coach at the end:
