trick or treat!

it was a crisp, clear night for the candy haul this year. we had michael jackson, a pirate, and darth vader. trick-or-treaters were way down at our house this year, which means more candy for me.

some behind the scenes footage...

school pics 2010...

the 2010 school pics are in..they have been for a couple of weeks, just haven't gotten around to posting them yet. a couple of changes, owen has since gotten a hair cut and alaina wants a re-take, so this may not be her official picture. her's looks fine to me, but apparently my vote doesn't count.

almost famous...

something called the "social media tweetcast 6 - minneapolis" group captured one of my tweets, check out the 1:40 mark in this youtube video.

then & now...

i was told i needed to update my id badge at work because my picture hadn't been updated in a few years (maybe 15?). i think the new picture is identical to the old one. at least the half-sneer is the same. you be the judge

owen's soccer official pics...

just got our pics yesterday. owen has had a blast playing in his first year of soccer.  i know he'll be sad when it's over, 2 more weeks to go in the season

enjoy what you do...

after watching this, i've decided it's fun to work at my company...

get your pledges in...

no, the kids are not getting shorter. this is a picture from last years bike marathon for non public education. tomorrow morning the kids and i will pack up the bikes and hit the trail per usual. barring any flats or accidents will sign in at the check points and finish just in time for the hot dogs & chips. weather is looking good..wish us luck and see ya on the other side.
updated!
an absolutely perfect day for a bike ride. the kids and i cruised the bike route, no problem. another school fund raiser in the books
