Jackson was a Jack-in-the-Box for Halloween, complete with homemade "box," hand-crank, suspenders and hat. I was pleasantly surprised that he wore the costume for so long at John's work family Halloween parade. He was a hit right from the get go. John dressed up as a Army Soldier, his weapons consisted of a calculator, stapler and pens, very intimidating!
John and Jackson at work, before the idea of costume=candy got in Jackson's little head!
It took a few tries before he understood that you go up to strangers and hold out your pumpkin bucket for treats...he just wanted to say, "Hi," to everyone. Halloween really is a strange holiday.
Later he learned that you can actually keep the candy. Here he is showing off his spoils!
We visited Grandpa at work, this is were Jackson learned once you get the candy, you run to the next place to get the optimal stash of candy.
The crew, Jackson was a little pooped after a long day of lunging that box around. I'm sure he's thinking, "Thanks Mom!"
Too cute, I couldn't resist this picture as Daddy and Grandpa walking Jackson through his office building.
THE 1/2 MARATHON (13.1 miles)
The before picture, at the bottom of the race at 6:30 am YIKES!
The after picture! We made it! I am so proud of myself.
After 6 week of training, then 3 weeks off training for a foot injury and then 3 hard weeks of training after that, I made it. And in less than 10.6 minutes a mile!
Time: 2 hr. 18 min. 45 sec.
Thanks Babe for coming to cheer me on for the last 100 yds!
Halloween was an especially memorable one.

A few things- adorable adorable costume. I'm just impressed he left the box on. Sage didn't get the candy thing at all but maybe it was because it was in the dark.
