Happy November!
What a crazy-busy weekend we had! Friday was Halloween and we did the usual haunts for trick or treating, and thankfully, we finished the after dark trek just before the rain started to fall. We made the most of Friday night by driving to a Halloween party hosted by one of Dave's coworkers.
Saturday started early when you consider that Friday night didn't end until early Saturday morning. Mason and I went to a kid's craft expo where he got to make several Christmas gifts for family and then we went to spend the afternoon visiting with Ken and Dahlynn. You might be thinking, "Wow, what a full weekend you had." and you would be right, but it's not over yet. After dinner, Mason got to go play with Kain and Taylor while Dave and I got to go play poker. Dave placed third and won a few bucks. Again, arriving home after midnight, the idea of an early start for Sunday wasn't all that appealing. Good for us, we had planned Mason's birthday party for the afternoon so we didn't' have to hurry. We got the house picked up and because it had rained so much, had to adjust our outside party plans to inside. I baked some leaf shaped cookies and let the kids decorate all they wanted to take home. We had cake, sang happy birthday, opened presents, and after a bit of visiting, called it quits for this holiday weekend.
As I sit here with a fire roaring, I think about how grateful I am that I'm living this life. A loving husband, a happy son, pets, friends, support, the list just goes on and on. Thank you to those powers that be and all the people that make it real. Happy Monday!
