October and Halloween

October was a rough month for me. I have been pushing my physical limits and keep ending up sick and in the ER. I have trouble carrying the twins up and down the stairs and even just putting them in a high chair is taking all my energy. I have canceled plans many times when I really wanted to go. The few times I try to go anyway, it just ends in disaster.
Dave ran the Marine Corps Marathon last weekend. He was only able to run about four times in October because he had to spend all his free time taking care of the kids so I could rest. Our friends Andrea and Greg came to visit and run the Marathon. Dave paced Greg for 20 miles and then had to walk the last 6 miles. I feel responsible, but at least he pushed Greg to a personal best over an hour faster than he has done before.

Halloween was awesome. Jack was talking about costumes and trick or treating for weeks. It was so magical for him. Poor Chris did not get a good nap that day which meant he fell asleep right before we left the house. I insisted we wake him up so he could be part of it. The poor kid screamed and cried for about twenty minutes until he threw up on his costume. Fortunately, my friend Laurel and her kids came to go out with us. Her parents came too and were nice enough to stay at the house with Chris so we could keep going. I felt bad for Chris, but we still had a lot of fun.

I think they came out pretty well!

The boys in their Halloween shirts. This is the best I could get with no one upset or trying to get up.

This is Jack and his friend TJ giving out candy. I think Jack liked giving out candy as much as he liked getting it.
