Weekend Recap

AH... it was such a nice long weekend and it has been awhile since Brandon has had four days off in a row that wasn't because of vacation... and the boy definitely needed a break from Air Assault School! Thursday night we kicked off our long weekend right with dinner at a local Mexican place, super YUM :) And then we went and checked out the Halloween Express store that just opened... although its quite early to start decorating for Halloween/Fall, it was nice to get in the spirit and get some ideas.. even P enjoyed looking at all the costumes and deciding which one she wanted to be this year. Friday morning we spent it around the house and then ate lunch and let Henry nap before heading out to run some errands. We got a lot checked off our to do list that afternoon. Peighton got her hair trim at one of the salons in the Mall and we enjoyed a cookie break and walked around some more. Brandon found a new putter at Dick's Sporting Goods and was pleased it was on sale! Then we trucked it over to Toys R Us where I had to pick up a birthday present for our little friend Tyler. Then it was off to Petsmart to pick up some dog food for Murray.. I even found him a new toy to play with which he destroyed in about 2 hours that evening. Next stop was Lowe's.. we needed to pick up two new air filters for the return vents as well as a new filter for our refrigerator. Finally, our errands were over with and we went back to the house and had pizza for dinner. Saturday morning Brandon went out to the golf range for a couple of hours while the munchkins and I stayed around the house. Then it was lunch and college football time. Henry got a nap in before we headed over to our friends, the St Johns, for Tyler's 2nd birthday party. It was a fabulous party and the kids had a lot of fun! The food was yummy and despite it being over 10o degrees that afternoon it went well :) Sunday we woke up to rain and enjoyed a mostly quiet day around the house. We did venture out to Logan's for a yummy lunch and browsed around the bookstore. We made pizza biscuits for dinner... even Henry liked them! Monday was another rainy day around here and it was much cooler.. only in the low 60's... it felt divine... much more like fall is just around the corner! We made a trip up to Walmart to pick up a few things and then had a tasty lunch at Zaxby's. However, most of our day was spent relaxing around the house. It was a nice mellow end to our weekend and before the start of another week. Thankful our little family had a nice long weekend to spend together!!! :)
