It's been a busy week with no running and not a ton of working out. I had one really good work out class on Tuesday that left me sore all week, but no running. The dogs are beginning to hate me.
Halloween. Sigh. Holidays in the middle of the week are bleh. Andrew went trick or treating with his buddy Cole like he did last year. They had a great haul going to some super nice neighborhoods in Wamego. He had fun and of course was wide awake till almost midnight thanks to the sugar. We stayed at home and handed out candy to a record 107 trick or treaters! The older I get, the more I love seeing the little ones in their costumes. We had a giant blow up ghostbusters car that played the theme song over and over again and to see those kids have dance parties to the music was precious. We decided we need to go bigger next year and get more since the kids loved them so much. We have the perfect corner lot to display those for all to see.
Ollie stayed on the porch with us and handed out candy and did a wonderful job. TO be so psycho at times, she has some really great qualities as well. She is very gentle and kind with kids and also a wonderful reader of dog body language. She befriended and older dog at the track that HATES all other dogs and now they are in love.

My work mates understood the assignment. We all had variations of costumes that allowed us to still do science but have fun. Of course we had to have a picture with Louisa. Work even had bingo for the day with prizes which is always a fun thing for our company to do.
I will end on racing. We had a big weekend of the pumpkin race and the 100 lap shoot out with all kinds of fun things to go with it including trick or treating, chili cook off, and trailer decorating. Mother nature decided to change all of our plans and rain all weekend. We saw that there was to be a small opening on Sunday, so we changed the format to just racing the two 100 lap races and the rookie races. This provides a huge challenge because if you guess your set up wrong, you are screwed because you don't have a heat race to tell you information to get your car right. We didn't get any practice, so we just sent it and we guessed wrong. While he got fourth and passed lots of cars and lapped several kids, we had hoped for a podium, and he was disappointed in his finish. I told him he did great for what we gave him so he should be proud. He's had such an amazing season, and I want to end it on a high. Here are a few pictures that the photographer got. LOVE THEM!
