Halloweenie

I just want to take a moment to thank you all who voted for the kids costumes. I (rachelle) thought it was a great idea, but I needed to convince Jon. However, he wasn't convinced soon enough and by the time I got the "ok" finding Raeden a Robin costume was very difficult. So bummed. . . . I also decided to find Matthew's old lion costume only hours from showtime and panicked when I realized it was no where to be found! So Raeden ended up being a G.I. Joe. He was cute, kinda reminded me of my bro.. just with more facial hair. (sorry Josh)
We went to the Janesville Athletic Club, which is basically like a 24 Hour Fitness, except the Basketball courts were converted to a Fall Festival area where they had tons of games and even a Nascar Jumper. Matthew loved it. He cheated at most of the games, but he is still young. It was cute to watch him walk right up to the holes and drop the balls or bean bag sacks in. They also had a story time where they told the story of Zacheus the tax collector. It was fun and we were all thankful that we could enjoy the festivites indoors, since it was cold outside. And now that the weather is getting colder Im going to post current weather conditions every time I post, just as an fyi. :) The weather actually hasn't been that bad. All the pretty leaves are gone now...well most of them. The ones that are left look dead so they might as well be gone. The past week we hit about the mid 50's during the day... most of the time, and high 20's to low 30's at night. Not too bad. However next week is supposed to be "seasonable cold" as they say, with high's in the low 40's and low's in the 20's. Ay yay yay . . . and we are supposed to have some snow flurries on tues, so Ill be posting another update soon! Current weather conditons: 46 degrees, sunny and windy...and it is about 1pm in the afternoon.
