Here's the girls on the starting line for a quick team pose. I can't help but LOVE their crazy socks!
The gun sounded and away they went! They were on a mission!
Here's Brittany coming into her second turn around the course. As you can see, the conditions of the course weren't the greatest. It was very muddy in several spots and it got much worse once the rain began to pour. However, the girls stayed with it and placed 4th overall! Brittany finished in 13th place and medaled...her best buddy, Alicia, was 14th and medaled, too! The best news is that the girls and boys varsity teams both qualified to go to STATE on Saturday! I am so thrilled! What a perfect way to finish out Brittany's last high school cross country season! The course they'll run is one of Brittany's favorites with several hills. She always does extremely well on it and great weather is predicted! I can't wait!
Now, with Regions being on Halloween, the girls went home, rested awhile and cleaned up, then got ready for trick-or-treating fun. Here's Brittany and Alicia about to head out the door to a Halloween party. I have no idea what my daughter was thinking when she picked out a baby costume! I about died from laughter when she waddled out in that huge diaper! Let me assure you that she had a pair of shorts on underneath it...though it sure doesn't look like it! Oh, the reactions she got!
Here's Abby who was getting ready to go out with a group of her friends. It was the first year I didn't tag along...sniff, sniff! She had a great time and everyone wanted to "honk" her nose!
So, Saturday was a day full of excitement, fun memories, and exhaustion! I wouldn't have traded it for ANYTHING!

Way to go Team and B! That's just awesome. I will be praying for state!
Their Halloween garb is great fun and no, you can't tell she had shorts on!!
In South Florida, some, not many teens went Trick-or-Treating, but in Tampa, I've learned that not many, if any go. I'm surprised to learn that your girls still do.
How great for your daughters CC team!
I love the socks too, because when they are running it is so easy to spot the teammates.
Love love love the costumes!
Have a great week!!
What excitement!!Congrats to the runners, and yes, I love their socks too, because they are easily identifiable!!! And those costumes are hilarious!

Oh, what cute costumes! I love them, April! Glad that Brittany did well in the meet, and I'm also glad the girls had a fun night that night.
Have been bumped off the computer all day. I'm late getting by here to see you, but I did get some things accomplished while the network was down. Yep, I spent money! ;-)
Love to you...

OK I LOVE the baby costume! I went as a baby many times but never was brave enough to go in a diaper.
Holidays are hard when the kids are getting bigger. *sniff*
I love their costumes, so cute.
Yay!!!!
Oh my gosh, the baby costume. LOL!
I can't get over your girl in a Nappy! She went out like that?!!! She's madder than you, I think! Abbey looked great in her clown gear. So, you don't get dressed up yourself, or you're just not letting us in on it??? Maybe you should pull out some old pics of you on H'ween - now that would be one hilarious post! Hope you're having a wonderful day. Blessings, Naomi x
