Black Cat 5 Miler

We had a fun little adventure this evening as we bundled all the kids up (plus Kingston and Kylee) and drove to Point Defiance for the annual Black Cat 5 mile run in Tacoma. It was pouring down rain!!! It was fun seeing everyone in costumes though-Mike looked good with his makeup on with his skeleton costume. Juliet looked great too with her 80's hair and colorful outfit. The kids were all troopers while we stood there in the rain cheering for everyone. Mike ran the 5 miles in 28:15. The group of 2.5 milers were coming in at the same time so I actually thought Mike got 1st but unfortunately he got 2nd. Afterwards we went to the tent that was set up and got some oranges and warm apple cider. The boys, including Mike, were soaked and freezing so we decided to head home as there weren't any prizes for anyone but the winners. We had to stop by Fred Meyer on the way home to buy some carpet cleaner for our shampooer as right before we left Cody was chasing Elijah with his Halloween mask that has fake blood that swirls around the inside of the mask, well anyways.., Cody somehow broke it and I had red dye spots all over the carpet. Needless to say I was shampooing the carpet this evening after the boys went to bed. Enjoy the pictures!! Before:

Here is the costume after it was all done in it's entirety--
