It's somehow November. We had a good weekend here and Mondays are when we chat about what we did.
Friday night our neighborhood had a costume party and it was a lot fun. Hubs and I had what might be dubbed a 'couples costume' as in we went together. He dressed as a boy scout and I was the campfire. My costume was comfy and fun to wear and hubs was an actual boy scout so used most of his own stuff.
The party was in our neighborhood clubhouse and the food was catered. There were a couple of games which were just right, and then we all voted on best costume. The weather was perfect and I'm going to say we've had an absolutely spectacular fall.
Saturday morning sunrise says I'm right.
Hubs and I took the little brown dog for a nice walk around the neighborhood, then spent the afternoon reading, watching football, and I took a nap because life has caught up with me. Later we met up with daughter1 and her crew for dinner at a local brewery after they finished trick or treating.
They had the best costumes, each one a character from Lord of The Rings. My daughter and son-in-law read the series aloud to the boys so they know who's who. So good! My youngest grandson was under the weather on Halloween so missed some of the fun, but dad took Sugar trick or treating and she shared with her brother. She was dressed as a princess and we think that's perfect for her.
Sunday hubs and I went to church, then after lunch he went to watch football with a neighbor and I worked on my blog. We regrouped late afternoon to go to our middle grandson's birthday party which had a pirate theme.
My daughter has an art background and as a momma to three kids their birthdays give her an outlet for her creative side.
She drew the tablecloths as pirate maps-
Everyone found their pirate name, they mined for treasures...
...ate pizza, roasted marshmallows, and of course celebrated the birthday boy with a fabulous chocolate cake.
It was another fun backyard birthday where the kids ran around, played soccer, climbed on the playset, and had a ball just being kids.
Looking forward to a month where gratitude is the focus and there is so much to be grateful for. Hope your weekend was a good one too.
