Quick update...

on our comings and goings.  This is the last week of football!  It has been wet and soggy.  Aidan loves it but I tell you I am ready for this to be over.  Next week is their Superbowl, but with the wet weather and field conditions, I am not sure how the league plans to work this out.  We are getting ready for Halloween and Fall parties.  Aidan's fall party for his class is on Friday.  Ainsley has a dress up party for dance class that evening.  Monday is Ainsley's class party and parade.  Also, did I mention my in-laws were coming.  What a weekend of nasty weather they are getting!  Not sure if they are going to want to attend Aidan's game but we will see.  Last weekend we stopped at a local farm to get pumpkins and run through their corn maze.  It was fun but very crowded.  We miss our little farm that we visited in Wi.  I am going to scout our some of the smaller places for next year.  I also finally was able to sell our very large entertainment center that has been sitting in the garage since we moved.  A Mom bought it for her daughter who just bought a house and has a very tall ceiling and large wall in her living room.  I am sad to see it go as it is a piece I have loved, but the hubby picked a house that does not have the necessary large wall.  I tease him that he did that on purpose just so he could hang the TV on the wall.  I don't love that situation, but not much I can do about it.  Ah well.  At least the piece is going to a good home.  Well, have a great week all.  I have to get off this computer and get to work with the last clean-up.  I have basement floors to vacuum and bathrooms to clean and then I call it done.  Pictures to follow another time!

Silly Miss Scampie Pants...

I find it amazing how much this little critter has weaseled her way into my heart.  We had a big scare with her this weekend.  B and I actually had a date night.  Instead of using a traditional sitter, I had signed the kids up for parents night out at the Y.  Once a month they offer 4 hours of childcare to include swimming, dinner, games and crafts all at our local YMCA.  We all had a fun evening.  As the kids were getting ready for bed, I fed the cat and called her to no response.  She usually comes running when she hears me at her food bowl.  So, I get the kids into bed and I realize the front door is standing slightly ajar and it dawns on me the door was open like that the whole evening we were away.  At this point I start to lose it.  To make a long story short, after a sleepless night, I found the little stinker sheltering from the cold in the garage.  I had left that door open in case she came home in the night.  Now, I do live in a very quiet neighborhood and suburb, but we still need to close and lock our doors at night.  We were very fortunate that no one decided to come in and walk away with anything.  I fussed at everyone that we need to be more careful about the doors as this seems to be an ongoing problem for both the kids and the hubby.  Little Scamper is home with us safe and sound and I will say that I spent most of Sunday being snuggled with by the little toot.  She must have decided that she did not like the cold and missed her family.

Sorry it was so long between posts.  I have been having difficulties getting everything I want to get done during the day.  I will get there one day.  Have a great week all!
