Halloween night

Halloween...shouldn't people our age be getting all dressed up, going to parties, and enjoying the scenes? Well, we stayed in, Amanda came over and we all sat on the couch, watched TV, and handed out candy to our little ghosts and goblins in the neighborhood. We had about 20 kids come through, which we didn't think was too bad! We got rid of some of our candy, not all of it, but that is ok...Jenny really enjoys the sweet treats!! Oh, at work, one of Jenny's co-workers cut out eyes and a mouth and taped it on the baby bump...



For the last 4 years, Jenny has been on the committee for organizing a 5K/10K race held annually benefiting the physical therapy association. The race this year was Saturday morning. Jonathan has been running it the last few years as well (good supporter)!! Jonathan got 2nd place in the 5K in his age group...he claims there was probably only 5 male runners in his age group...too bad prizes are only offered to the 1st place runners in each age group!!

Sunday...Jonathan is planning to bottle the beer he has been brewing...Thanksgiving it should be ready to drink!

ISU homecoming

Last weekend, we (Iowa City Rixens too) were invited to Des Moines to spend the weekend and go to the Iowa State homecoming game against Texas A&M. Mark and Sara were excellent hosts both at their house and at the game (as usual). We enjoyed the beautiful fall day by being outdoors tailgating for about 4 hours before the game. Flynn was a trooper and beared the wind with the rest of us!! Iowa State ended up short in the end, but it was fun being there, and Jonathan was living his alumni dream!







On Sunday we met up with Andy and Hannah for breakfast before heading north in the intense wind, with occasional corn stalks blowing across the road, followed by snow in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota! I guess the fall is officially here, with winter not far behind!!
