Fall Festivities

Our weekend was fairly lowkey but nontheless we got quite a bit of things in. I am really trying hard to remember what we did Friday night and sadly I cannot come up with anything! How can that be? By the time I'm 4o I won't even know my name!

Saturday we got up and headed to Clinton for the Pork and Apple Festival. Now, for those of you unfamiliar with Clinton, there is NOTHING there. But boy, when this festival comes about it is crazy how many people show up! No one wants to miss out on the junk, uh, flea market or carni food. It was very hot and the lines to get food were ridiculous. Grant and Mark were in line for 10 minutes just for kettle corn! Grant carried the enormous bag of corn everywhere. He got to go on a pony ride and afterwards I asked him if he had fun. His response? Where is the popcorn mom? We also feasted on corn on the cob, pork on a stick, apple cider, a corn dog and a funnel cake (my favorite!) We stayed for about two and half hours and then headed home for nap time. Everyone slept and I ran errands. It is amazing how many stores I can hit when I am by myself! That evening we went to our friend's the Gosch's house for pizza. It was fun to get to hang out because we don't see them too often anymore. Grant was cracking everyone up due to the fact that he refused to take off his bike helmet. Now, you must know, he didn't ride his bike at all that day. He just wanted to wear the helmet. Mark used to tease me that I would have out kids in helmets in their carseats (I'm a little bit of a safety geek). Well, I guess he was right. Grant was playing tag and running around with it on. He wanted to wear it during dinner but I drew the line there! He and Alex are always entertaining us!

Sunday was church and hanging around the house. I found curtains for Nia's room and a really cute curtain rod (too much time on my hands?) Her room is almost done. Her furniture will hopefully be delivered this week and I just have to get a new light fixture. Now all we need is a referal! That evening Mark and I went to our church small group. That was our weekend. Nothing too exciting for the rest of the week. Saturday we are having a family cookout so that will be fun. That's all for now!
