Pre-Party Party

It's He Haw!

Who's there?

 The kids and I spent a long weekend together.  Peanut's school was out on Thursday and Friday.  Mom took both kids Thursday, and I took off Friday to hang out.  We had a whole lot of things planned for the Friday.   We were going to hit the pumpkin patch and go the fair.  We were going to hit the gym and get all sorts of things done.  We were going to ROCK THE FRIDAY.

We didn't get really any of it done, but that is okay.  We had a great time anyway.  We just piddled around for a little bit.  We did hit the gym and then we did some other things.  We tried to go to the pumpkin patch, but it was closed.  We watched movies instead.

Okay!  Everyone hug the giant wooden pumpkin!

The one picture where we are all looking in the same direction looks like I am clawing my son's heart out.  I just can't control my man hands!

 Movies that we got at the library.  With the kids new library cards!  I can't believe it never occurred to me before to let the kids get cards.  They are SO excited about them.  Well, I guess I should say they liked the cards but they were really excited about getting a receipt.  Yes, you read that right.  "MY VERY OWN RECEIPT.  DAD, I GOT A RECEIPT.  MOM, WHERE IS MY RECEIPT?"  That was not what I expected.  At all.  The cards.... eh....  A receipt.... HELL YA!


Even though Friday was a bit of a bomb as far as all the cool stuff we were going to do, the kids and I both agreed that it was a pretty perfect day.  We agreed that even if we don't get everything done that we were happy.  So we ate a lot of junk food, because that is how we roll on Friday's.

Saturday was a bit of a wash too.  We just did stuff and stuff.

"How come I am in a cow and not on a Tractor?"

"I am not happy about this cow ride thing."

 On Sunday, we were finally able to make it to the pumpkin patch.  I realize that I really don't like the pumpkin patch.  It is dusty and all the animals make my allergies irritated.  I think I was also irritated because I drank too much coffee and didn't get enough rest.  The kids were kind of cranky, which was making me even more cranky.  They seemed to have a nice time, but I was just happy to get them home and in bed.  It was the end of the weekend after all.  I shouldn't have to answer a million times that we are not buying a giant pumpkin, and we do  not need a wagon.  I will continue to go because I know the kids like it, but next time, I am forcing Mr. T. to go with me.    It is a family tradition that we both need to be miserable so then we can argue about it.

When we got home, we carved the pumpkins that I bought at Kroger for about 1/4 the price they are at the pumpkin patch.  I made pumpkin pies out of the pumpkins from the patch.  It was the first time I have ever made pumpkin pie with real pumpkin.  I have some lessons learned.
