I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! Ours was wonderful. We had a really fun and FULL weekend! Friday night we went out to dinner as a family and one of my girlfriends last day as a student teacher was Friday so I went up to Applebee's to celebrate with her. Saw some people that I had not seen since high school. So it was kind of cool to talk to them. It is amazing how sooo many people never freakin' LEFT this town!! Granted, I am back, but I at least got out of town for a few years!! We had a good time sitting around having a few drinks. (I had 1 beer, wow) :o) Then on Saturday we went to the Halloween party in Piasa, ILL. We had a great time! It rained most of the day and was cold but we managed to have a good time anyways! Hubby and my brother went fishing while we did crafts and games and they actually CAUGHT a fish. I did not get a picture for proof but I did see it :o) It did manage to stop raining long enough for us to go on the hay ride, and that was a lot of fun. There are pictures of some of the stuff in my pic area. We really enjoyed our time away, but were really happy to get home and get nice hot showers too :o)
Then on Sunday hubby and I managed to get away and went to the Applebutter festival. We met up with my best friend and another friend and walked around for a bit. Hubby and I wanted to look around by ourselves so we left them and just looked around and managed to find a crafty thing for my living room and lots and lots of food :o) We bought more food than anything else :o) They have this really awesome restraunt down there called the Blue Owl. We went for some lunch there and hubby "had" to have a corn dog :o) and kettle corn, and raosted pecans and almonds... and of course we cannot forget the APPLEBUTTER! :o) I also bought some pumpkin butter, I have not ever tried it, but from what I hear it is a lot like Pumpkin pie, just spreadable :o). There was the most beautiful dog there... it was a 14 month old Great Pyrenees. Hubby and I had bought one right after we got married and he was absolutely beautiful. He ended up dying a few weeks after we had him, of parvo. The vet told us he had it when we bought him and since we did not know, we did not catch it in time to save him. He was a gorgeous puppy, we later bought another one and gave her to a friend of ours that fell in love with her and since we could not move her with us, we thought it was the best thing to do for them both. So now hubby and I are talking about buying another one :o) Anyways, back on track... We left there after a few hours and hubby went over to a friends house to watch the football game with a bunch of the guys. The same guys that he tailgates with get together on days that the Rams are not in town and sit around and BS and drink (except mine, who does not drink) and "do the guy thing." My brother and I took the 2 younger ones and went shopping and went home and watched the game too :o) My mom kept the older 2 all day, which was really nice!! It was just me, my brother and the younger 2. It kept it quiet around my house for a while :o) Then last night went to my parents to get my older 2 kiddos and had dinner with them. That was the extent of my weekend! How was YOUR weekend??
