Busy Weekend.....

Boy what a busy weekend!  Starting off with Halloween-getting the costume ready for school, parties at school then coming home from school in a party overload mood that right there just poops me out thinking about it.  Once home from school it was time to get ready to head down to the next cul-de-sac over for a pre-halloween white trash party to get the festivities rolling.  This was a good time but somewhere in the  1 1/2 hours that we were there, Carter ate entirely too much and wanted to come home because he was tired and not feeling well.  I think that all of the party food at school then at the white trash party caught up with him  So we headed home and he took a short little rest before heading out to our cul-de-sac for our white trash party festivites.  He was so pooped out that I wasn't even sure he was going to want to go out and trick or treat.

 

But he did.  First it was picture time with all the kids.  Our group was a little small at the beginning because some of the kids were still at the Phillies parade but by the end they all showed up.

 

Then the dads headed out to take the kids while the moms stayed back and handed out candy, ate, drank and stayed by the fire.

 

When done, they all headed back to the cul-de-sac to check out their goodies.  Being that it was such a warm night it ended up being a pretty big gathering-fun times but I headed in around 10:30 knowing that I had to get up the next morning. 

Which brings me to Saturday.  Alex and I did the Heather Saler Walk for Lungevity over in Cherry Hill, NJ in honor of our next door neighbor Scott's sister.  She started the walk 5 years ago in hopes to raise money and awareness for Lung Cancer which she had.  She passed away in May of 2008 without every smoking a day in her life.  It makes you wonder why this effects those who it does.

  

We walked with a group of neighbors which made it that much more fun.

    

 

Not to mention the serenading to Sponge Bob!  Thanks Ying for that-definitely a depends moment!

Sunday brought us to Alex playing a few games down in Symrna, DE.   They played well, won all games and Alex had some good hits.  Ripped a small hole in her man tights sliding into 3rd - wanted to know if I could sew it up-I just laughed.  Here goes another $50 torward man tights! 

Finally got home around 4:00 and was ready to sit and relax.  Wasn't long after that that I was in bed and sound asleep.  Didn't even get through Extreme Makeover! 

Love to stay busy but a somepoint I finally give out. 

Here is to a new week, meetings at school, practices, club meetings and homework.  So with Monday it begins again.
