Costume Delivery

We drove to Ohio on Friday afternoon.    The drive was beautiful - fall color in abundance!!!

  Andrew greeted us with his new teeth!!!!

Saturday morning, Ashley and I went to Lebanon for Alexanders' Cross Country meet.    It was a conference meet - LOTS of teams there.   Alexander has done well this year - just over a 20 minute time for the course.

After helping Ashley and kids go thru their dressers, it was time to try on costumes.    Andrew is a ninja.....similiar to last year..

Allison is a leopard.   I found slippers and a set of scarf, gloves and headband - to which I added the ears - to go with the leopard suit that I sewed.

   

Alexander wanted me to make a long black cloak and some arm and leg guards.    He added the leather gloves and will add black sweats inside the cloak - a very serious Sith warrior.

Grandpa and grandson - sooo serious!!!!!!

Sunday morning everyone got up and ready for church - and the final family portrait.

We headed home.    The colors in Ohio are not as vibrant as Michigan - mostly yellow golds in the leaves.    Lansing has been blessed with the greatest red, orange and fire colored leaves on the trees.    We go thru Bellefountaine - they are working on the county seat building - first constructed in 1842.

This evening I'm headed to Playmakers for the Race Series Reception.   I placed third in my age group for the overall series - I had no idea I'd done that well in their series races this year.   It may never happen again, so I'd better go and get honored!!!!
