Weekend Fun

With the cool fall weather we spent most of our weekend inside. What a better thing to do then carve pumpkins. Here are the finally products!

After a week of wet weather today was sunny!!! Yeah! We took advantage of the great day, raked up our only leaves and enjoyed them!!

We had to take advantage of our great weather on Sunday so we visited a "mini" pumpkin patch in town. Enjoy the pictures!

So crazy!!!

So much has happened in the last week that I am sure I will forget something!

Last Thursday the boys and I headed to Wahoo for a cousin playdate on Friday. It worked out that everyone (all 9 of them) was able to make it to Grandma's for the day. The day was spent running around like maniacs, eating all of Grandma's food, playing Legos, and "Bride and Beauty." We even managed to get a picture of all of them without tears!!

Saturday morning we woke up to 1" plus of snow! Needless to say the boys were more than ready to go play in it. After breaking the news to them that I did not have snow clothes nor did we have time to play they decided going to Aunt Mary's was 2nd best! Dave's parents met us at my parents and we all headed to Lincoln. The girls were shopping for Mary's wedding dress and the boys were spending the day with Andy and Papa! After much shopping and a trip to Omaha we decided that we need one more day before Mary was sure she had found "the one."

We all crashed at Mary's Saturday night and took part in some Oktoberfest beer tasting. Sunday was church, lunch and headed for home so that Dave could get ready for his drive to Minneapolis. After switching cars and repacking he was back on the road for the drive and three days of training.

My parents arrived late Monday night and we have had yet another crazy week!

What a week!

Boy was last week CRAZY!! It started with Brayden having Monday off~how I have already forgotten what it is like to have them both home all day! They enjoyed playing together and we even stuck a trip to the library in.
Tuesday was back to school and playgroup for us! By the time the night had rolled around I was ready for a break! That never happened, by the time the boys and I had walked around the block Dave was home from work and in bed! He stayed there until he made it to work on Friday morning! Thank goodness he is feeling better! It was definantly not easy to keep the boys semi-quiet and occupied, knowing that Dad was home. They just wanted him to play!
Tristen has surprised us all with his 2 yr molar~maybe that was part of the resaon he wasn't sleeping and was SUPER crabby last week too!
Saturday came and it was my turn for a day out! Six of us moms from playgroup headed to Omaha for a day set aside to consignment shopping! We hit up the BIG Reruns sale, and two more shops before deciding that it was time to visit a couple "regular" shops! My average day turned out to be longer then expected~I need to assist a friend with some retail-therapy (her husband just deployed for a month). We finally returned home about 7:30 pm, and Dave was happy to see me!
Sunday we hit a late church service and spent the day mowing, and reorganizing and getting rid of toys in the basement! Another crazy week has already begun!
