Well. This was an awesomely exhausting weekend for me. We had fall break from school this weekend so we only had school for a half day Wednesday and we were off Thursday and Friday. I went to my friend Lily's house Wednesday after school so I didn't have to hang out at mom's work. I wasn't quite so lucky on Thursday and ended up having to go with her for a half day. At least I was constructive and got a bunch of homework done. I was rescued for the afternoon by my best friend Claire's birthday party. Mom took me to her house over her lunch hour and I proceeded to have the greatest time with some super fun girls. You may remember the hugely awesome water slide from their party last year- and it was back! It was a little chilly this year because it was rainy but we had a good time anyway.
Mom picked me up from that party about 10 which was just enough time for me to take a much needed nap before I headed out to my second slumber party. This party was equally as fun and the girls were equally as awesome. At this party, we stayed up until 2 AM and were up and running at 7. The moms were super excited about that! In this picture, I'm the one in the middle on my iPod. Mom asked why I was on my iPod when all my friends were clearly not. I said we were googling ways to get to sleep because none of us was tired.......
We were super busy too- we picked and carved pumpkins, made halloween masks and colored aprons. Mom picked me up from this party about 10 as well and I came home and crashed for 3 hours and then asked to go to bed early. Imagine that. I was supposed to have two softball games but they got cancelled because of rain and that was very, very good thing. I would have been a wreck out there.
While I was away partying, mom and dad were busy still settling in some more. Dad did take a break though to enjoy the cooler fall weather on our patio.
They also bought some more furniture to almost finish off our project room. They bought what we are calling our "Bavarian Beer Hall Table". It a big, heavy, solid wood table with two benches- perfect for drinking beer and eating bratwurst. We ate out lunch on it today and loved it. This room is almost done, all but two of the boxes are done and we just have pictures to hang. It really feels like home now!
We finally made to "the club" for dinner tonight. Our neighborhood has a semi-private club and restaurant and I have been dying to go to "the club" ever since we moved in. The food is OK and it makes for a nice family night out so it was a nice way to end our weekend.
On a non-related note, mom and dad have been hearing random things dropping on our roof and rolling around in the middle of the night. They couldn't figure out what is was- maybe an owl or squirrel dropping stuff and running around. After some investigating, they decided in was acorns. We have 6 huge oak trees on our property so we have lots of acorns to spare. It is amazing how much noise this little thing can make. And they only seem to drop at 2AM- isn't that fun??!
Hope everyone has a fabulous week!
