A Very Busy Week...+ weekend!

Thank the Lord it's FRIDAY! Woo-hoo! This has been the busiest week for us. I'm so glad its Friday...and its the end of the month too! I'm not fond of October. It seems like a long month to me and well, there are no holiday's. For me - halloween IS NOT a holiday.

Growing up, my family always went to the fall festival at church. I can't remember when I ever dressed up and went trick or treating in a neighborhood. Now that I have a child of my own, we're doing a little bit of both. We had our rOctober Fest (aka Fall Fest) at our church last Sunday and had a blast. Evan dressed up as a gorilla. Every year so far, he has been an animal. A giraffe, lion, kangaroo, turtle, and this year - he's a gorilla. At the rOctoberfest all small groups participated in the chili cook off. I must announce - our table won BEST OVERALL and also thanks to Carl, Hottest Chili awards! It was great!

Yesterday, Cy volunteered to paint primer on the front-face of a building for Evan's school. Since Cy was there, he picked Evan up too! That was nice, since Evan has been "dying" to show daddy his new trick on the monkey bars. I'll post some pics at the end of this blog. I headed home, stopping off at Chickfila to pickup dinner. When the arrived at home, it was hussle and bussle our tails to get ready to go to Boo @ the Zoo. This is our first year going, and our friend's were kind enough to get our tickets. It wasn't too crowded, and we all had fun. The most fun Evan had was at the foam station. Boy, was he soaked afterwards! We got home at a reasonable time, and managed to put Evan down for bed by 9:15. He woke up with a good attitude, however, he also woke up in our bed! Lol....he said he was scared and when I checked the clock, it was like 5:30 am this morning. So, he jumped in the bed with us. This was the first time he's ever done this -- since Evan is a super-duper sleeper. Must have been the excitement he had at the zoo.

Evan's new trick - hanging upside down - no hands!

Evan had a halloween party at his school this morning and I volunteered to bring a snack. It felt good being mommy-homemaker and making something for his class. Considering that I don't "celebrate" halloween, the snack I made was very appropriate and cute for Pre-K and Kindergartners. Can you guess what they are?

Snack for Evan's class: Spiders!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Since I was busy this week, guess I better catch up on the piles of laundry, vacuuming, dusting, and room cleaning at home. Anyone want to help?
