Perfect Weekend

I think we had the stereotypical PERFECT weekend. The weather was GORGEOUS - high 60's to low 70's all weekend.  Friday night was trick or treat night. We went to our friends' house (minus Allie - who went to another friend's house) and the guys took the boys trick-or-treating while Jenny & I hung out and passed out candy. It was such a beautiful night! We got home and the bowl I left out still had some treats in it.  I thought for sure the first pre-teen would dump the whole bowl - they didn't YIPPEE!

Saturday, Mommy was the Champion sleeper - I had taken an allergy pill and Frank & the kids ran 2 errands and I was still sleeping. I slept until 9:50 (I haven't done that since before kids).  It was GREAT!!!!!  Frank & his buddy Ryan were in a chili cook-off at the club - so they went to that (the kids & I joined him for a bit) but we mostly watched the Michigan State game here.  We then headed to another friend's house to watch the Iowa vs. Illinois game. That was a blast!  - the kids had a ball. Allie was the oldest girl there so she took on a little "mother hen" role. We stopped home to let the dog out & off to another friend's house for game night.  The kids were troopers. Allie fell asleep on their couch but Peter held out.  We ALL slept in Sunday - plus we fell back an hour. Gotta love Daylight Savings Time!!

Sunday was AWESOME - total lazy-hang-out day.  Frank had a school board budget meeting but other than that, it was Lions v. Bears and yard work.  We took down all the Halloween decorations and put up Thanksgiving ones.

I wish every weekend was this PERFECT. I guess they all are when we can spend it all as a family!
