A nice time

Well we had a really nice time this weekend. Saturday was a quiet day.. hubby is working Saturdays thru January..so just the kids and I at home. My daughter and I snuggled on the couch and watch Miracle on 34th street, in black and white, and after it was done, she told me she loved that movie and wants to watch it every time it is on..awww. I love Christmas shows, especially old ones..my favorite is White Christmas with Bing Crosby.....anyway... I was "window" shopping on line the other day too...just getting some more idea's for everyone. I think tomorrow I am going in to town and doing some real shopping and putting a few things on lay a way. Oh what fun. After this Saturday Christmas is only 2 months away..we all know how fast 2 months goes by!

Well this weekend we did go to the apple/pumpkin orchard. It was nice enough..but not as nice as the one we went to 2 years ago. Last year we went somewhere different, and it was worse than this one...this place did have a play ground for the kids, and it was free, but it was just a generic play ground....the one we went to 2 years ago, has a play ground you have to pay to get into...mind you you get unlimited pony rides, barrel rides and there is a ton of equipment to play on. Of course prices there have raised from 7 to 10 per child..so not really cheap... so we'll have to wait till next year and see! All they had at this orchard was an outhouse and my little on with autism had to use the bathroom, hubby took him in there (actually 2 times) and my little son said it was yucky...he said NO! So he would not go in there! Poor thing! Hubby said it was pretty bad too..... my son does not like outhouses but has gone in one, so it must have been really bad if he wouldn't go! ha ha. Well hopefully come this weekend I will get my pictures posted on here from there. I hope they turned out cute. My daughter got in trouble while we were there, by walking off on her own after being told not too...then proceeded to throw a fit...so needless to say I had to take her to the car and address the situation.........after addressing it, she was fine for the rest of the afternoon..... so in a couple of her pictures I am sure we will be able to tell she has been crying! We bought some apples there, and they are soooooo good...but I don't remember the kind they were....something susan? Anyway..it was a nice time, my mom went too, and she had my little cousin with her..and I think he enjoyed himself too!

This weekend was also a good weekend for the Bears...yeah! They won! I know they are 4 and 3 and I didn't think that was good, but they are tied for first in the NFC so I guess they are doing better than I thought..it looked to be a good game, I think within 3 points, and we missed it by going to the orchard. We were however listening to the race on the radio...and Jimmie Johnson won! YEAH!!!!! Looks like this could be his third year winning!!! So all in all a good weekend!

Well until next time, and hopefully with pictures to post!
Ta-ta-for now!
