Weekend Wrap Up – A Very Rainy Weekend

Happy Monday everyone!  We have had such a rainy weekend here which makes me think of all my friends and readers who are on the East Coast.  Please stay safe and know many prayers are coming your way.

I enjoyed coffee with friends on Friday morning.   What a great way to start my weekend.   I was back home as the kids were just getting home.  They ended up inviting their best friends over to spend the afternoon together.  Emily’s youth group had a party planned for Friday evening so we just ran and got takeout so she could get ready for her Halloween party.  I grabbed a blanket and my Kindle and enjoyed a laid back evening.

We woke up to a rainy, wet Saturday.  Unfortunately, we didn’t get a break for Brad’s last football game.  They played in the rain and got soaked.  The upside to the game is they ended their season with a win.  All four of us came home and changed into warm, dry clothes.  Then we decided to venture out one more time to get our pumpkins.  Our weekends have been so full, we haven’t had a chance to go get ours.  We finally found pumpkins at Safeway…again, it was down-pouring so we got wet and cold all over again.

Pumpkins were carved after a pizza dinner.  The kids are getting so good at doing their own.  Emily carved a cat, Brad’s was a cartoon character (not quite sure who), Scott’s made a scary pumpkin and I carved Hello Kitty.  They turned out great!

Sunday, was another lazy day.  I am beginning to see a trend here, are you?  Once we all got going, it was a clean house, laundry and yard work kind of day.  Everything outside has been put away and the inside got a good cleaning.   We had a bit of a break in the weather this afternoon so the kids hung out with friends until the rain came back.

This week we are back on our schedule minus football practice.   I will be beginning another 90 day win exercise program so instead of Scott and Brad gone in the evenings, it will be me.    Still working at getting those last 10 pounds off.  The holidays are always tough so this will be good for  me, getting into the gym and working out.

I hope you all have a great week.  I will be sharing a fun and easy pumpkin craft which is perfect for Fall…it will even add to your Thanksgiving decor!

    • Thanks Liz! I did an hour of Zumba tonight along with a 20 minute yoga class. It felt good to be back. Summer was crazy and the gym is a metal building and incredibly hot. I need to continue towards that goal! :)
