Everyone at work dressed up for Halloween! Yay!!
Ha hahahah, TJ went as Tracy.
I was a satyr.
We went Trick-or-Treating in everyone's office. DING DONG!
When Tom is alone, as opposed to with a group of other folks in costumes, he sort of looks like a bathrobed looney wandering around. Especially up here at the Ridges.
We all went to Broney's for lunch.
Leah and me!
Today I met Tom for a coffee drink at Moku before work. There's Tom with his mocha!
We sat upstairs so we could enjoy the view.
Latte for me, mocha for Tom!
The view is great!
Moku makes really good foam.
This morning was our annual step aerobics halloween morning! Our instructor Kay brought in popcorn balls and puppy chow, and Summer and I dressed up! She was an aerobicizer, and I was a princess!
Glamor shot!
Kay taking Summer's picture!
Tonight, we went over to Dan and Amy's house to eat pizza and play games. The playing games part was SUPER fun, because they have a projector set up and we got to play on the big screen!! We played a ton of Wii games, then busted out the Guitar Hero. Video games just got a whole lot more fun!
Moku Espresso and Cafe is a new coffee shop that opened up on W. Union Street. Joey made the sign, and asked some muscley friends to help hang it up. Ben went to help, and I went to watch. I've never watched a sign get hung up before, it was cool! Joey did a great job.
This afternoon, Gina and Jill hosted a pumpkin carving party out at Paul and Sarah's house. Ben and I decided to walk along the bike path to get there. We underestimated how heavy those pumpkins would feel by the time we got there!
Jill and Gina making fresh donuts! YUM!!! I ate like two hundred.
Dad hooked us up with some SERIOUS tools that would carve a pumpkin UP. People said it looked like a creepy murder kit.
Pumpkin carving!
The lineup.
My pumpkin is in loooooooove:

NBIA headed to New Orleans to host its Fall Training Institute this year. I went along, although I wasn't there to work. I went for the FUN!
We stayed in the Chateau Sonesta Hotel, which is where Summer and I stayed when we spent one night in New Orleans many years ago. Bizarre!
We had lots of fun. The weather was so great, hot and sunny. We went to Rock 'N Bowl, rode the street car, went to Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, danced our butts off, ate lots of food, drank lots of beer, and more!
Every fall, a group of us from NBIA will take a hike up to Radar Hill to enjoy the beauty of fall. Here's a tree we passed on our way up!

This year, we had a little coffee picnic!
Coffee!
Corinne made Amish Friendship Cinnamon bread.
