Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

What a busy past 3 days. My close friend came up from Phoenix and surprised me. She sure was a big help getting mom out of the hospital and all settled in. We also had a good visit I think. She's a gem. Love her lots and lots. I LOVE YOU BURFICA JR. HEHEHEHE

Okay so on Friday all the kids up at the elementary school got to carve pumpkins for the pumpkin festival on Saturday. Our little town has the state record with most carved pumpkins in one place. Over 1000 last year. So, any how, I'm not so sure that giving a bunch of elementary school kids sharp objects is such a good idea. It was like a pumpkin massacre. Pumpkin guts flying in all directions. The little kids holding their knives up above their heads attacking the pumpkins again and again. I swear you could hear the creepy music from the shower scene in psycho. (EEE EEE EEE EEE) My son came home covered in pumpkin goo. He even had it stuck on his glasses.

Friday night we got mom home from the hospital and set up. Then we were so tired. We ended up having pizza for dinner. Watched a couple movies....They Rocked.... Van Helsing, and Day After Tomorrow.

Saturday we had a big day of fun. We went up to the pumpkin festival at the city park. Walked around among 100's of pumpkins looking for the only Cyclops pumpkin there (my son what can I say) Found it. Then headed over to the stage to watch some of the locals, we have quite a few local people that have their own CD's out. And they perform at all our big functions. So watched a performance while getting my son's costume on (a Ninja) and watched him in the costume contest. We then walked amongst all the the vendors out there. There was food, and books, and crafts all going on. Nothing I couldn't live without of course. My friend and I went over to one booth that had some very nice quilts. It was run by one of the neighboring towns polygamist wives. When asked how much a particular quilt was, she said 300 dollars. WTF??? I mean they have all the extra wives that help do this stuff. How in Gods green earth do you sell a quilt for 300 bucks and still have a conscious??? I mean yes it was very pretty, but fuck the threads would have to be solid gold. Ya know?? So... anyhow... we choked and moved on. Let the kiddo play on some rides, and some games. Wondered back over and saw the results of the costume contest. (he didn't win...sniffle... they always pick the little tiny kids) Then they had trick or treating at all the booths. So the kid, went around and got a grocery bag over 1/3 of the way full of candy, that he will never eat. And we came back to watch the dancers. Got some food. Cheeseburger for the kid. And for 5 bucks me and the husband got a BIG bbq sandwich, dutch oven potatoes, baked beans, and a soda. It was way good. We watched some more of the live entertainment, and took the kiddo for more games and rides. Then we headed home. He got some cotton candy and a snowie. We ended up getting some kettle corn, and cinnamon glazed almonds. (yummmmmmmm) We then went over to mom's and did a few things around her house, and came home and I started dinner. Everyone else went back up to the haunted house. Lots of fun. Boy were we tired as all get out last night though.

Today, Sunday, we have just been cleaning on the house some, and helped mom out some. Watched a little t.v. Now it's dark and I want to go to bed again, but it's only 5:30 ugggghhhh LOL

On to the week, to maybe recuperate from the weekend.
