A Good Week

We've just had a good, happy week all around and a nice relaxing weekend to wrap it all up.  

We had an awesome storm come through this weekend- it started raining Friday morning at 8 AM and didn't stop until Saturday afternoon.  It was glorious!

It doesn't rain a whole lot here and it certainly doesn't get very cold and this weekend, we had some of both.  It definitely made home bodies out of us.  We didn't even go out for our usual Friday night out dinner because it was just to cozy at home.  We went to bed Friday night listening to the pitter of rain and woke up to it Saturday morning.  Mom couldn't run and dad couldn't ride so we made the most of that and got stuff done around the house.  Mom finally got the rest (well, most of the rest) of her pictures hung up and then organized her spice drawer.  Exciting stuff, I know, but wait until you hear what dad did.  He shredded boxes of paper that have been sitting in our dining room since we moved in.  It took all morning and was super fun!

We finally got motivated to get out of the house in the afternoon because I had a play date with some friends from school.  Mom actually got out of her jammies, showered and got dressed before she drove me over.  My friend's are twins that are in my class.  Max and Claire and I had a fabulous time and I hid under the couch because I didn't want to go home.  Then as usual, I was a complete grump for hours after.  I have this nasty habit of being a complete sourpuss after playdates.  It got so bad in Denver, we had to put the kabash on anything after school.  We'll see how it goes here.....

We did our dinner out on Saturday instead and I fell asleep at the table- that may explain some of my grumpiness.  We did manage to get to bed early and slept in on Sunday.  Mom was able to get out for a run because it finally stopped raining and it was a beautiful morning.

The leaves are finally starting to change here so it looks likes Fall has made its appearance!

We had a pretty low keyed Sunday because it was down right "cold" here!  We had a high of about 53 degrees and really didn't want to leave the house.  And people wonder why we were miserable in Denver!  Mom made a huge pot of beef stew (Mr. Walker style) and we hunkered down to wait out this miserable weather.

Meanwhile, over in Albuquerque, cousin Sophia was not to impressed with the cold either.  We all knew she was smart!

We have the makings of another great week- dad is off all week, I only have school Monday and Tuesday and then it's Thanksgiving!  The best of all holidays!  Have a great one and we will see you on Sunday!
