Art and Crafts

What a nice weekend, the weather was beautiful here and we got an extra hour of sleep :). Saturday we picked pecans and made sugar coated and candy coated, the ones they sell at the festivals. It was R mothers birthday so we grilled out and had cake.

Sunday L and I headed to the "Christmas Made in the South" show. It was nice, we picked up a few things for Christmas and of course for ourselves.

We put away all of the Halloween decorations and pulled out the Thanksgiving. All of the family will be coming to GA for Thanksgiving this year so we are excited and getting ready for that.

Varsity

9th grade FB is over....the coach moved A up to Varsity, they had their first game Friday night, even though he didn't play he was still dressed and on the side line, he was very excited. It was a sell out crowd and a very good game, we won!! Playoffs start this week so keep your fingers crossed for another year of NO LOSSES!!

Coming out on the field

This was the first year the kids didn't go Trick or Treating. L got half dressed and decided to stay and pass out candy with us. A had FB and wrestling practice so he didn't get home until 7:30 and was too tired. He did bring two friends and they "chilled". We set up a table out front with candles, music, fog, accident scene..had margaritas and enjoyed scaring the kids that came to our house. This year is a little different than last year when the president came to town just about 200 yards away from our house. The kids are growing up faster than I want, isn't there anything I can do???? HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
GIANTS GAME

View from the hotel

GO GIANTS


The NY Giants played the Atlanta Falcons on 15 Oct, Monday night football. We headed up on Monday at noon stayed downtown Atlanta and went to the game that night. A played some of the challenges they had outside and won a few sport towels and stuff. L wore her Giants jersey, which we thought was pretty risky but once we got to the game there were more NY fans than GA fans. The Giants won so we were happy!! We had a birds eye view from our hotel room, it was nice, stayed on the 39th floor, one of the walls was glass. We stopped for lunch at the Underground and then made our way back to WR. This is a picture of A and L at Olympia Park.
