Pumpkins!

Fall is my 2nd favorite time of the year (2nd only to Christmas)!  I love the colors and the changing of the leaves…it’s simply beautiful! 

By far, my favorite thing about this holiday is Pumpkins!  (and I especially love Mickey Pumpkins!)

Speaking of Mickey pumpkins, that reminds me of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!  We attended the party both last year and this year as a part of my Disney Cruise and Half Marathon trip!

Since it’s coming up on Halloween time, I thought I’d share a few pictures from the party!

I really love this party and I think it’s one of the best times to go to Walt Disney World. It is of course, my 2nd favorite in line to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! :0)  We were able to ride/see everything we wanted to in just a few hours due to short wait times for rides and shows!  It was awesome!

 

We were able to spend the evening with a few friends and it was great!  We had SO much fun!  We ran around like little kids getting a TON of candy and really enjoying ourselves!  The parade was fabulous, too!!

 

What’s an evening at Disney World without Fireworks? Hallowishes did not disappoint!  It was incredible as always! :0)

Ok so I was really skimpy on the pictures!  They are on my hard drive (on a different computer) and these are ones I stole off of facebook! 

I went for a run earlier.  I tried to pace myself as I had a 4 mile run planned today!  Well, I don’t know what got into me…maybe the caffeine I had from Starbucks after work while visiting my sister in law/soon to be brother in law?  I ran the 4 miles and finished up in 38:10! I haven’t done that in forever…usually, i takes me at least 40 minutes…sometimes 42 or 45 minutes to do 4 miles depending on how many times I stop.  Ah well. I felt great and I really enjoyed my run today!  Lots of neighbors out and about with their kids/dogs. It was great!

I planned to do 3 miles tomorrow, then 2 miles Wednesday, rest Thursday and Friday, Half Marathon Saturday.  Not sure how my run will go tomorrow, though!  I have a calendar planning meeting at church tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. and it usually lasts a few hours.  I hope it won’t take too long but I have a feeling I’ll either have to stay in town tomorrow and run after work, or I’ll have to run the 3 miles on the treadmill after the meeting, OR…I’ll just skip the run altogether!  :0)  We’ll see what happens.  I hate how “life” gets in the way of running sometimes!

What is your favorite time of the year? :0)
