Weekend review

It was a productive but WAY too short weekend! Friday night, I scrapped with some friends. I got a few layouts done (pictures to come). It was fun to chat, eat and scrap with others.

Saturday - DH, DS and I all had to work. My mom came and stayed with DD. Apparently, they had a very good time. Saturday night, I started moving stuff out of the back room of our basement to prepare for ceiling work and carpet installation this week. Yes, it was Sweetest Day but we don't do much other than to wish each other a good day. Oh and to DS's delight - Illinois kicked the snot out of Indiana. And to all our delight - our Huskies won their homecoming game!

The almost emptied, painted basement room.....

Running through the leaves!

Sunday - we emptied the back room by 11:30 a.m. Then it was bbq sandwiches for lunch and time for the Bears game. YEA, Bears! Since DD was a little wound up, she & I went out to look for Huskies for a couple of hours so the boys could watch the game. We had a great time and the weather was fabulous! The "castle" building is the oldest building on campus (VERY beautiful inside!) and DD almost fell out of the van gawking at it as we drove by it.

DD (squealing): IS THAT A CASTLE? DOES A PRINCESS LIVE THERE? CAN YOU LIVE IN IT?

Me: No, it's not a castle. There are no pricesses there. Sorry!

DD: That is SO cool!

Then we went to one of the historic home/parks in town and it was all set up for a wedding. She almost floated out of the van when she saw it.

DD: Are we going to the wedding?

Me: No.

DD: It's so beautiful!

Me; I know.

DD: Are you going to take pictures of the wedding?

Me: Not today. Just pictures of other things.

DD: Do you think we could walk by it?

Me: Yes.

We walked in front of the arch and she was just beaming!

I almost forgot, our "team outing" last Thursday. We had a perfect day - 60 and sunny. We stopped for apple cider donuts and warm cider - mmmm!!!!! THAT'S a breakfast of champions. Then it was off to the corn maze - we had a good time. I learned that giving a simple direction can be interpreted 3 different ways. Funny how everyone communicates just a little different....
