Jay ran the Tough Mudder, an intense 12 mile obstacle course designed by British Special Forces, known as the “toughest course on the planet”.

And this video makes me proud.  He didn’t even need any help getting up the ramp!

There’s two courses that even had electrical wires and the shocks were so strong that when you’re hit(and it’s not a matter of “if”, you couldn’t help but get hit a few times), your body automatically slams to the ground.  Intense, right? He said the hardest part was how freezing it was(his race started at 8 a.m with no sun whatsoever). He said the very first course required you to jump in the ice, and almost every other course was jumping in the ice, so you’re constantly cold.  For me, this would be the farthest thing from fun and I would never voluntarily put myself in these situations, but I gotta say these people are pretty amazing.

Adi & Ana’s preschool threw a Halloween party with lots of food and crafts, with all the proceeds donated to a wonderful cause.  

Ana decided to cut her bangs in a staircase/triangle shape which is very impressive I must say.  I’m just glad she had her school pictures taken the week before.  

Jay sat on the bench most of the time at the party and acted as if he was throwing his own kind of haunted house party.  He would sit on the edge of the bench and lean forward and depending on what costume the kids were wearing, he would scare them accordingly.  When a vampire walked by, Jay would show all his teeth and act as if he was going to jump out at the kid to bite his neck any second.  When a warrior princess walked by, he karate chopped high in the air while screaming weird noises to the poor girl.  When a Prince walked by, he would pretend to gallop towards the prince while making hideous horse sounds.  Some kids walked by quickly and made sure to never return to the same vicinity, while some kids kept walking back and forth on purpose because they thought it was weird/funny.  At least he didn’t have a full on molestache, or else they really would’ve gotten scared.

And we finished Halloween with trick or treating.  I hope everyone else got lost of candy too!

Happy Halloween!  

I hope everyone will have a safe Halloween, especially the people in the East Coast who are affected by Sandy.  It breaks my heart to read and watch the news about it.  Two of my brothers live in the East Coast, and I’ve been watching/reading, worrying, and praying continuously for everyone there.  May you have a very safe Halloween.
