Fall Weekend

On Saturday Randall had to work so I arranged for my friend (and former dorm mate) Sara to come over and help me take the kids to the zoo. It was so great seeing her! We haven't seen each other in months and I really missed talking to her. Hopefully she gets this new job so she won't work such crazy hours. The kids had fun at the zoo too. It was Boo at the Zoo so everyone was dressed up in their Halloween costumes. We did visit a couple candy stations, but kept it to a minimum and only took candy that was easy to eat i.e. smarties. Both kids rode the carousel - even Nora! I was shocked that she would sit on the horse the whole time, she only whimpered at the end. Big sucess for her!

Sunday we ran the usual errands and made a quick visit to the library. Randall was tired and cranky and took it out on the kids instead of redirecting their behavior. After I rescued the situation we finished up and went home. Randall had to fix the light switch in the bathroom so I kept the kids busy outside so they wouldn't bother him. We played in the leaves and painted some of our pumpkins. Corbin loves painting so he had a blast. Nora likes painting until her hands get dirty and then she is done. The girl can be covered head to toe in dirt, but if her hands get dirty its the end of the world.
