catch up

october is so lovely, so busy, so full of the fun stuff. we've been busy doing the things.

the things include birthday party celebrations for our dear friend reed-o


with a milwaukee dark start concert (reed's favorite band is the dead, and dark start is cover band that provides the next-best-thing).


when we got back from milwaukee last weekend, we stacked some wood.



i've been upping my running mileage down these gorgeous city trails every week, in anticipation of a half marathon in 2 weeks....eek!


 chaperoning field trips with the kindergarteners,

having uw homecoming festivities at the union (this is a spontaneous ring around the rosie)

and a fish fry dinner with friends upstairs.

there was face painting,

and a parade.

we even caught the fireworks from tenney beach on the ride home.

we rode the homecoming wave right into the badger game the next day, where we caught my favorite parts: the marching band and the jump around. bonus: our team won.

and after the game, we even found my awesome buddy steph at union south.

 

we did a halloween costume trial run (werewolf success)


david and i had a date night in a garden, all lit up with lights

and when david headed up to the north county for a rainy trail run race, the kids and i went to a fundraiser where we ate pie for lunch.

then it was all pumpkin carving

and selfies under the biggest sunset rainbow ever.
