So much to catch up on!

There is so much to catch up on, I don't know where to begin. It's a good thing we've been taking pictures. It helps me remember what to post about.

3 weeks ago Lolly had her 9th birthday party at the bowling alley and Sofie looooved bowling.

2 weeks ago Marc went to Illinois to visit his daughters, Hayleigh and Alicyn.

And while Marc was gone, Sofie and I crashed Jacob's indoor soccer class (it was pouring here that weekend). Jacob is our bounce house friend (his mommy and I used to work together and occasionally run together).

Sofie decided that her Mickey Mouse ears weren't so bad the weekend Daddy was in Illinois.

And she also slept with Mommy (read = hogged the whole bed).

Then a week ago, Beth, Michelle and I ran the Marine Corps Marathon and Jenny ran the 10K.

Sofie's sleeping arrangement for the weekend (she rolled out of her air mattress in the middle of the night).

Pre-race (with an early wake up call!)

Post race (we did it! my poor feet!)

Then this past weekend, I found a super cheap, last minute flight to Greenville. Sofie and I popped down for 2 days and did some visiting with the grandparents.

Beth, Jeff, and Elaina were up in Simpsonville visiting with some of Jeff's buddies (about a mile or two from my parents house, how convenient!), so we tagged along and went trick or treating with them (and the dauling Minnie Mouses). Do you know how hard it is to get 2 2-year olds to look at the camera at the same time?

Not happy that Elaina was in the other car.

Fighting over Beth

And then Jeff

Sofie would only let Jeff hold her candy for her.

Then back to Mimi and Papa's to burn off some of the sugar and play in some rain boots.

Jenny said...

Andee said...

Loved the Halloween pics.... and is Jeff wearing the Minnie ears in one of those pictures? Nice.... :-)

ellie said...

Congrats on the run! Is that your first full marathon?

i always love the Halloween pictures. And it's impressive that she kept the ears on that long!

Daugenet - Thanks! We'll have to try and actually spend some time together next time.

Andee - Yes, Jeff is wearing the ears. Neither girl was too thrilled to wear their ears for too long.

Ellie - Nope, this was actually my 2nd marathon (my first was in 2006 pre-baby and pre-blog), but I was having feet issues the whole training season and was just happy to finish.
