On the 29th of October I participated in my first 5K.... well sort of.... Each year the school network I work for has a 5K for el dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead). I've volunteered in the past, but this year I walked it with a few of my teacher friends from work. Other than getting up at 5:45 on a Saturday (yay a I got to sleep in 20 minutes!) it was a really good time. The picture below is just some neat decorations they decorated the school yard with.
This past weekend we hosted game night with our friends Stacey and Nick. We always have a blast getting to hang out with the Stinson's. I would say Alex and I are fairly big game people. It all started back in the day with Jake and Rox..... they got us hooked. Then while we lived up in Wrigley with Lucas and Allison we would have frequent euchre battles at Murphy's Bleachers on Monday nights (it used to be wing night). Now, it seems like this is how we spend our family get togethers on the holidays as well. haha I guess there is a good chance that we will be those old people who always show up for the weekly card games. :)
This week our game of choice was Balderdash. Sooo fun, especially if you play with some funny people. The crazy things you can come up with....
My parents are coming up to stay the night with us tomorrow. Mom is on vacation, so they have decided to come and visit. Since Alex and I both have to work Wednesday, it will be short visit, but we'll go out to dinner and chat for the evening.

We have a busy weekend coming up, actually most of them for the rest of the month are like that. This weekend one of my students is participating in a play at a children's theater here in the city, so we are going on Saturday to watch that. Then Sunday, thanks to the Butera family we are going to the Bears/ Lions game at Soldier Field. Very excited about this! I've been to a few pre-season games before, but never to an actual game that counts during the season.
The weekend after all of these fun things is Parent/ Teacher Conferences. I have them Saturday, Monday evening, and Tuesday. Since I am coming in Saturday I get the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off. We'll be home for a quick trip for Turkey Day, but then we are off to Nashville, TN for the rest of that weekend with Stacey and Nick. I'm super pumped about this! I've got my eyes on the buy 1 get 2 free cowboy boot deal. :) Its going to be a weekend full of country music and honky tonks! Awesome!
Like I said, our weekends are looking pretty busy. That always seems to happen this time of year, but I'm looking forward to it all!
