Livin' Our Love Song: A bunch of stuff

John was the coach of Arlington's Cross Country team again this year. They did very well. The boys team made it to state and they took 1 girl. The boys team ended up getting 8th place which is one place better than last year!! Unfortunately being a coach comes with a price. I woke up one Sunday night at around midnight because Dominic wanted his binki back and when I wake up in the middle of the night I have a habit of looking out our bedroom window. This night was no different, and as I looked out I saw kids running around my yard with toilet paper. So I woke John up and told him someone was toilet papering out house, John shot out of bed and quickly got dressed and went down stairs. His goal was to scare the crap out of these kids. So he opened up the front door and they all darted. He ran barefoot down the block ( I have never seen him run that fast) caught one kid as he was getting in the car. He thought for sure that kid was going to pee his pants! The didn't hear him because he wasn't wearing shoes so they didn't think he followed them. He came back to bed laughing and swearing he was going to get them back. So the next day at practice John wore a boot and told them all that he spranged his ankle because some kids were toilet papering his house and he chased after them. One of the kids felt so bad he almost started crying. John let them think he really hurt himself until after their warm-ups then he took the boot off. He got them good!! With that said I am really glad cross country is over because now I have my husband back!!

Getting ready for Halloween!! Just like after Thanksgiving at the Christmas walk downtown they also have a Halloween night downtown where the kids get dressed up in their costumes and get to trick-or-treat all the stores and the bank lets the kids come in and see the Haunted Bank. Elizabeth is Belle this year, John is Fireman Sam (if anyone watches Sprout they know who that is), and Dominic is a puppy!
