Countdown to Halloween

Paul, Thomas and I had a great weekend this weekend, though not too many pictures. Friday night was pizza and a movie and Thomas was really into Peter Pan for about the first forty five minutes, we lost him after that. Saturday morning, we had breakfast and headed to the downtown farmer's market. We walked around downtown, ran some errands and then had lunch at Pete's. Thomas took a nap and Paul got to work on the weekend project - he built a beautiful arbor over our garage doors. Thomas napped until late Saturday so we had a quiet evening at home watching football.

Sunday, Paul finished the arbor with the help of (or rather in spite of) Thomas. After naptime we went to a Halloween Festival in Moonville. There were games, bounce houses, hayrides, a petting zoo and the local fire department brought a fire engine. Thomas had a marvelous time and we celebrated a wonderful fall weekend with a pumpkin shake on the way home!

Fall is in the Air!

It definitely felt like fall today! Today we went to the pumpkin patch and got some pumpkins and pictures. Thomas was "So Cute It Was Scary!" We spent most of the day outside enjoying the beautiful weather and for dinner we had Brats cooked over a fire and S'mores for dessert.

Boo in the Zoo

Friday night was members only night at Boo in the Zoo. We asked Thomas if he wanted to dress up as a dragon and he said "No" so we asked him if he wanted to go as a giant lizard with wings and he said "Sure"!

Catherine and David joined us and we ended up meeting our neighbors, the Moons, there and Thomas had a ball looking for all the animals (most were asleep behind the scenes), checking out the wonderful decorations and getting treats from all the stations. It didn't take long for him to learn how to hold his bag up to get goodies.

After Boo in the Zoo we went to Sirrine Stadium for Greenville High's Homecoming football game. Thomas pigged out on a chick-fil-a sandwich, blue gatorade, popcorn and m&m's. He loved watching the game until the food ran out. After playing on "the hill", we came home, took a bath and went to bed!

Whoops!

Fall for Greenville

We spent a beatiful autum day in downtown Greenville at Fall for Greenville with 200,000 of our closest friends. It really wasn't too crowded early in the day, most people show up in the evenings for the concerts. It is an awesome festival with food vendors(46) chili cook-off, ice-carving, bike racing, lots of music, carnival rides and more. The weather couldn't have been better and we all enjoyed the food (Thomas especially liked the Brazillian Pastels), drinks (Paul and I especially liked Magic Hat 9) , music and rides (Thomas rode the carousel twice).

A Break From the Chores

We really got alot done this weekend, considering the overall health of the family. We did some much needed yard work, some work on the upstairs, groomed the dogs and did the weekly catch up on cleaning, laundry, etc.

After all our chores were done we all played a little "fuball" and then chilled on the couch to watch "shishies" (that's the DVD "Finding Nemo")

5th Anniversary!

I STILL DO!

Five years ago we were all dancing the night away at The Cliffs. Today, we had very similar weather and it helped bring back all the memories of that evening. Paul and I had a quiet day at home and although it may not have been the most romantic anniversary, I had a wonderful day with my husband and son and wouldn't have had it any other way.

BIONESS BEGINS!

Well, I finally got my own Bioness unit. It needs some tweaking but the video shows me moving my foot without the stimulation and then with the stimulation. Although I still swing my leg (been doing it for thirteen years!) my gait is markedly improved. I'm so excited!

Thomas, however; just liked stomping on the bubble wrap that it came shipped in.
