Saturday we went to the race for the cure. I took the kids and we walked a very short way, then we went to the park beside the finish line. We stayed at the park till 9:30. Then, we went to breakfast at McDonald's and headed to the craft fair at the church. We had lunch there. After 1 pm, we headed home.
Jason had been cleaning and doing laundry preparing for his DC/TX trip.
I took a nap!
In the evening I cooked dinner and Jason went to the grocery store. Then we carved Thomas pumpkin. He did the eyes and nose himself.
Joanna helped get the seeds out and cleaned them, and I talked her though preparing the butter to make the roasted seeds.
Sunday we got up early and took Jason to the airport, first also picking up Andrew. After dropping them off we got Starbucks hot chocolate. A Sunday drive through the Cherokee blvd, sequoia hills dogwood trail, then we picked up breakfast and ate it early in the classroom before we started Sunday school.
After church we went to the crafts store.
Then we came home and ate sandwiches. I rested a few minutes while the kids played outside. I told them not to be yelling across the street and bringing other kids over, and joanna ended up coming in asking for the girl to come over. (I got on to her, telling her she could do whatever she wanted considering she entirely ignored what i told her to begin with. )
I made thomas his hat and the kids played outside. Called thomas in a couple of times to try the hat on. One time I got on him because he started turning the hat inside out. But I had. Not told him to do anything but try it on. I wasn't done.
We went to the Phelps family farm for the corn maze. There was a petting zoo and hay ride. We did the corn maze, pet and fed the animals, (washed out hands!) and ate s'mores. We did the hayride and then did the corn maze again, given it became a haunted one after dark. We ate hotdogs, then went on the haunted hayride. The creepiest part was one of the attacking people took a little girl off (she was part of the group running the place) and the lady she was with just was so non chalant about it I figured it was plotted in advance.
When we got back I asked that the kids could see the girl (Molly) before we left to know she was ok.
