Weekend Recap

Another busy weekend.  We’re getting in as many walks and as much outside time as possible before the weather turns cold.

My favorite mummies

Saturday, I took W to get a haircut.  Afterwards, we went grocery shopping and picked up some lunch.  It’s become our routine to run errands together on Saturdays.  I think we both enjoy each other’s company and S gets some one on one time with dad.  It works out well.  W has turned into such a chatterbox.  He talks the entire time we’re out.  “That man got a band aid… he has a boo boo.” “What does a alien say?” “Those trees in the way; I can’t see…” Everything he thinks, he says.  I spend half the time laughing and the other half trying to think of interesting responses to give… “Uhhhh… well, some aliens probably talk just like people do…?”  Proceeds to laugh… “Aliens don’t talk, mommy!”

Anyway, after lunch, A and I took the boys to another local pumpkin farm.  We all had so much fun.  W loved the animals and I enjoyed learning about them… Did you know all goats have horns??  We’ll definitely return for a hay ride and pumpkins.

Penny the goat was 3 weeks old - so cute!!

Roy the Rooster

Sunday was church and Starbucks and then an annoying undertaking trying to purchase a car seat.  I learned that Babies R Us has pretty crappy customer service (or maybe just a pretty crappy employee), but 3!! Hours and 2 stores later, we had a new car seat.  Sigh.  The remainder of the day was spent making soup, cleaning up a bit, and watching football and baseball very intermittently.  W was worn out and put himself to bed at 8… score!  Given the 3 hour car seat fiasco, S’s schedule was really messed up so he got to watch the lunar eclipse with mom and dad at 9.  All in all, a great weekend.
