Eight Down...Two To Go!

Finals are over!! Running Man did fantastic, and now we are just waiting to find out boards scores that will be posted in the next week. I don't think it's right for them to make you wait for almost wto months to find out the results of some tests that determine whether you can actually become a chirorpactor... I can't believe that he is done with 8th tri, and we are almost ready to graduate. Time has flown, and I am already feeling bittersweet about graduating and moving on. But that's another post, for another time. :)
We celebrated by going to the pumpkin patch and I was kind of underwhelmed. It's the same one we usually go to, but for some reason this year it seemed to be lacking. We are hopefully going to go to a different one this weekend that all of our friends have said great things about it. I'm hoping the rain holds off, or passes quickly so our plans aren't foiled! Banana is also gearing up to go trick or treating at the mall. I'm taking names of anyone who wants some more candy :) It's not allowed in my house anymore because I can't handle the temptation!
Running Man will be busy in clinic over most of the break, so we aren't headed anywhere exciting, but have a couple of fun things planned. I'm hoping we can take a quick trip to Chicago and let the girls run around there before winter sets in.
That's about all I have for today! I promise I'll have more exciting things to talk about next time. :)

The sorgum maze. The girls loved it, and I liked it because I was taller than it was, so I could tell where we were going!


They held hands like this for a lot of the maze. Banana is such an amazing big sister, and rarely loses patience with Em. I hope it stays this way for this next 18 years :)Their pick! Banana claimed it was just the "most perfect pumpkin there ever was!"

Here is the painted pumpkin...She originally wanted to paint it like a ghost, but once she realized that ghosts are usually only white she changed her mind. So it quickly turned into a clown pumpkin. It was her idea to add the googly eyes and puff balls for added effect! She carries it around the house now and calls it clownie. I'm just waiting for it to get dropped on the floor and break into a hundred pieces!
