Last Friday Alan and I spoke on a panel about adoption. It was great and everyone asked great questions then to our surprise they gave us a 50 dollar master card for being on the panel. So we decided to use it for a fun weekend.
On Saturday we met some friends at a pumpkin patch and the kids had a blast exploring the activities, eating lunch and picking pumpkins. Although Silas was enthralled about finding a lady bug and carried it out of the field instead a pumpkin. Later that evening we went to the schools red ribbon carnival where the kids played games, won prizes and got their faces painted. I even got to go to the book fair to pick up some Christmas presents for the kids.
On Sunday we cleaned the house and I changed out the kids clothes for the season. We then headed over to the Night of the Living Zoo with some cousins. The place was packed, and we felt like cattle walking through the zoo to get candy. However, the kids loved seeing all the other costumes and said they had fun. So I although mom and dad weren't too impressed, I'd consider it a success because the kids had fun.
Now I have some time to check out the ads and deals that I need to take advantage of this week. So far one I think I need to look into is on Hershey's Kisses at TARGET. They will be great as back up candy on Halloween or to put in the center of peanut butter cookies for the holidays.
