Free Time

This is the first Saturday that we have all been home with no commitments in quite awhile.  It sure felt great.  Doug used the time to catch up on the yard work that he hadn't been able to get to.  I did laundry and worked on bills.  I actually had some time to read and started a new book - "Disasters and Mistakes" in history.  I can't remember the last time I read a book.  It felt awesome to get one started.

Cameron had Evan over for a good portion of the day.  I took Meg, Evan and Cameron to Fashion Farm.  We all enjoyed the pumpkins, mazes and hay ride.  They each picked out a pumpkin to take home.  Meg's was over 30 pounds.

After dinner Meg went over to Brooklyn and Avery's to hang out.  They have planned their Halloween costumes for the year - Star Wars characters.  Meg is Princess Leia and Cam is Obi Wan Kenobi.  They also spent quite a bit of time on SnapChat.  Cam worked on his candy bar puzzle.

Alex was over for part of the afternoon watching football with Cal.  Doug made potato soup and they all enjoyed that.  Alex had to leave for a commitment.  Cal took it easy the rest of the day.  His mouth is a little sore.  He started the antibiotic mouthwash today and so far his cheeks have not become swollen.

Tonight Cameron asked my Mom and Dad to come over to play cards.  We played Pit, Up You Yinny and Five Second Rule.  Everyone had a lot of fun.  We don't get a lot of weekends at home and we sure enjoyed this one.
