We hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm making an effort to document with pictures every few days. My plan is to spend the time I usually do on Facebook, and put that time into my blog. I posted in the last one that G got the throwing up bug early in the week. Jack got it on Wednesday night, Colin got the flu, then I got the throwing up bug. I started feeling awful after lunch and split my class and hightailed it out of there on Friday afternoon. Thank God I left when I did because when I got home, it wasn't pretty! Thank God for Kelly, who always pulls through for me in an emergency. She came and got my car, picked up the kids from school, and stayed with them until Colin got home from work. She came back the next morning and took them all back to her house so we could rest. It is the absolute worst when Colin and I are both sick, and I really don't know what we would've done!! We all seem to be mostly recovered today, thankfully!!

Yesterday I took Jack and Grace to our church's Fall Festival, which was a blast for them both. I was glad we didn't miss it this year due to viruses!! It was nice to have only the 2 big kids, but I wish Erin could've joined in on the fun. I just didn't have the energy to manage them all, and Colin wasn't well enough to go. Grace said her favorite part was the elephant ride that went around in circles. Jack's favorite part was winning the cake walk game.

































Erin was super excited to wear a jacket!! (since it was a chilly morning) with pockets, mommy!!! yesterday.



Colin was burning brush in our backyard, and the kids have asked to have a fire every night since.

A sweet moment, searching for Waldo together...



A quick night out before bed with my camera-















Erin is our handful these days! She's a wild child. ...a sweet one, but a crazy girl!



I told her to pout because she's sick, and this is the face I got:



My TNT goal has been raised by $1,000. If I meet it, I'll also be running in the Disney Half Marathon in January, which I'd love! I'm waiting on a $125 company match check from my mom's work and after that I'll be less than $200 from my goal of $3,200, which is absolutely incredible. People have been amazingly thoughtful and generous. Share my link with family and friends, please. The link is to the right of this post, or Click hereEven a $10 donation can make a huge difference and is greatly appreciated. I'm also offering an amateur photography session to anyone donating $50 or more! My race is quickly approaching. I wasn't able to make it to group training yesterday because I was so dehydrated and weak from throwing up Friday. Next Sat. is the last group training before the race. I'm getting pumped!!

We are off to "A Lot of Pumpkins" fall fun place in Eustis, which we visit every Oct. and also Dec. for their Christmas festivities. Hoping for some great photo opps there!

I'll be back this week!
