I saw Moses running down Battalion Ave!!!

Ok, so maybe it wasn't THE Moses, but it was someone who dressed up as Moses. Yesterday was the 4ID's "morale" run that every battalion takes to boost their morale shortly before they deploy. The 4ID is scheduled to start deploying over the next couple of weeks. Most of the soldiers dressed up in costumes for the run. They shut down one of the busiest streets here on post and Cory said they had 4 helicopters hoovering over the run as well. Its a great morale boost for not only those soldiers but for the entire community!! One of the top NCO's stated that these soldiers go to war for many reasons - God , country, duty,etc but also for the men and women on their left and right!! I'm sure it was a great bonding experience and memory they will all cherish! By the way - Moses was leading the entire group, staff (well, really a flag) in hand! It was great.
Last night we headed over to Abrams Gym (the main gym here on post) for their Harvest Fest. We didn't know what to expect as we have been disappointed the last few times we went to "military functions" with the kids. But it was fun. They had games for the girls to play and gave out HANDFULS of candy for each game. The girls only played like 6 or 7 games and their bags were already full. They also had a cake walk and some "family" games to play where you could win prizes like a Computer, Nintnedo Wii, and other "big ticket" items. We didn't stay around for those games - we had some trick or treating to do!!!
Here on post, they had a curfew for trick or treating. We had to be done by 8 pm so we made it back home from the Gym around 730 and hurried out to get some candy. I had decided earlier on that we would only go up our street and around our cul-de-sac because I couldn't walk much further and the girls were definitely NOT hurting for candy (thanks to the Gym and Big Daddy- Cory's dad - who gave them 2 HUGE bags full of candy when we went to SC). I am disappointed to say that only 4 people, including us, gave out candy on our entire street.
The girls had fun and despite the "toothfairy" forgetting to leave money for Samantha's tooth she lost yesterday, I think that Candy Day 07 was productive. We had the Finley's and Chase's over last night for a little while and it was great to spend some time just chatting and hanging out.
So that was our day - hopefully when I figure out how to post pics here, I will be able to post a few pics of the house, and Halloween!!!
