recap

Well it's been a crazy week here!! We've just been really busy with all the fall festivities and school and some family things. Where to start...well last Friday (two fridays ago) we went to Parky's Halloween Nights where you all know we saw Sonya and Crystal. I really enjoyed it although it seemed that others didn't as much. I just think it's so cool to be at night, all the other things we do are in the daytime and I really love when it's dark. Saturday we went to Burger Farm where we did the hayride and the puppet show and saw the animals, oh and we also got to meet Frisch's Big Boy!!! That was so exciting, he even gave us two halloween coupons!!! No characters at Disney give you coupons for free food!!! Sunday was pretty normal with church and football. We've been getting rental movies a lot lately because we have a gift card for 40 free rentals so we've watched a lot of movies. I liked Evan Almighty ( alot!!), Next (which I thought I was going to hate, but really enjoyed), Perfect Stranger (just ok), Music and Lyrics (alot, Pop goes my Heart!!!), Wild Hogs (entertaining, but not great!). I miss Charity's movie reviews!! I feel lost at Blockbusters now!! So anytime we get a chance we'll go down and watch a movie. That's been nice. During the week, we continued our unit on trees and leaves and Abby continued on her 100 lessons, she's on 10 or 11 now. She's sounding out three letter words now. I really think this method is genius. It works so well. Noah's doing addition with carrying now. That's what he learned at the end of the week. That's going well. They both got their flu shots on Wednesday. Noah had Karate twice and Abby had dance. We started Christmas shopping. We just pick up things off our list when they are on sale. I'm excited because Thanksgiving is early this year and that means I get to put up the trees and decorations early!! I love decorating for Christmas, love it, love it!!! Also this week, I began my obsession with the moneysavingmom!!! Like I needed one more thing to obsess about!! It's really fun and an adrenaline rush!! I got all the couons organized now and all my ads together so I just have to decide what I want to with them!! I did get some good stuff this past week, so I'm pretty happy about that. This weekend we went up to Circleville (close to Columbus) for their big Pumpkin Show. It's a big festival in the downtown area. It was VERY crowded!! We went up on Friday to see the pet parade and we got there just in time. The kids loved it as I thought they would. There were tons of animals in costumes, even goats!! It was fun. We ate pumpkin pancakes, ice cream, donuts, and pie. All very yummy!! Then we drove home and stopped at Kroger where I got my best deal yet. I got 4 boxes of Quaker Sweet and Salty Crunch Bars, One Pepperidge Farm Garlic Bread loaf and a box of 100 envelopes (to organzie the coupons) for a total of .76 after tax!!! Steve was very impressed with that one!!! Saturday we went to the Creation Museum with Steve's Mom's church. We didn't stay with the church people in there, it was way too crowded to do it anyway. I had been wanting to go there and she offered to take us with her, so that was nice. I really want to go again maybe during the week sometime when it's not so crowded. I couldn't read everythiing because I would've had to wait forever to do it. It's very interesting and though provoking though. I liked it. After that we came home and did a little housework, made dinner and then watched a movie. Yesterday we went to Nick or Treat at Kings Island after church and then watched the Bengals game!! Yay a win!!!! We had a good time at all of those! Well that's a recap for now, I'll put up a few pics today too. Have a good one!
