Visualize
OK, so I have no photo for this post so you will have to use some visualization. Just humor me here.
We are sitting at the dinner table tonight eating one of Abbie's favorite meals....sloppy Joe's. I looked at her and asked her why she was leaning over to one side. I thought she would say something like her tooth hurt or she bit her tongue but no, not Abbie. She stated, "Mommy, can't you tell I am trying to get my sloppy Joe to go down my arm and fill it up."
Well, that's what I get for asking right?

Super Bowl 5k Run
No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you that is actually me in the picture below. I have gotten back into running and hooked up with an awesome trainer. I have been training since Christmastime.
This is me just about ready to cross the finish line...VERTICALLY! Abbie is in the purple cheering me on! My goal was to run the 5k (3.1 miles) in under 40 minutes. My official time was 36:01 which averages out to about a 12 minute mile. I came in 8th out of 13 in my age bracket, so I didn't come in last...my other goal.
Despite the rain, cold, and occasional flooding on the Riverwalk I had a great time and quite proud of myself. I am so thankful for my family supporting me in my endeavors. This is just the beginning!

Visit to Clark Elementary
Abbie's cousin had to go to school this week so we paid him a visit. We ate lunch with him, and Abbie was able to play on the playground for a while. Notice the backdrop of the playground...is there more than just corn in Indiana?

Hannah Montana is in the house!!!!!
Happy Halloween Y'all! It was cold and rainy all day today. I took Abbie to "Ark in the Park" for a few games then home... BRR. I am glad she is not a candyholic because she was fine with the little she got. She traded her hard candy in for other things like M&M's and Gummy Savers. She wants to send her hard candy to her teacher's husband, who is in Iraq.
Abbie's school had their Fall Festival on the 30th. She got her hair done.....
Play-Doh vs Hair
Why? Well, the only answer I have is......It's Abbie-what else? She did learn that using Play-Doh is NOT the way to accessorize your hair.

Grandma Ethel's 90th Birthday
My Grandma Ethel turned 90 on October 11th. Many gathered on the 24th to celebrate. My brother and his family drove in from Indiana, my great Aunt Gladys flew in from Minnesota, and a surprise friend drove in from Minnesota.
5 of the 9 great grandchildren were able to make the party.
Sisters: Ethel 90 and Gladys 84
Aunt Gladys and me.
We are very close. I spend mandy days on her farm in Minnesota in the summers when I was little.
No matter how old either one of us gets, I will always be her Sugar Plum!!!
I wish everyone had an Aunt Gladys!

Introducing Bailey!
After lunch with a great friend and plant shopping at Lowes I spent the afternoon in the yard trimming plants, flowers, and such. Bailey was found behind the lantana on the side of the house. So far so good. We will keep you posted.
Celebration of Learning
At North Columbus Elementary School the classes have what's called "Celebration of Learning." Abbie had her first one last Thursday. The class just finished landforms, so the kids created a map legends with the landforms they had studied. At the Celebration the kids made landform cookies that they were able to eat (once Mrs. P. took their picture). It was so much fun. The Celebration was early in the afternoon, so I was able to stay the rest of the day!
