Fun Filled Week and Weekend!

A busy but quick week for A^4! Mommy was away for work and Daddy and the kiddos were busy with football practice and a football party Thursday evening.  Luckily, Gianna was able to watch Addie Wednesday night while Ayson and Daddy were at practice!  Thanks, Gi!! On Friday, we visited with friends, went to a party on Saturday, and a hike on Sunday!  What fun!

Thursday evening:

Hi, Ayson!


On Friday, Mommy came home and Mommy and Daddy had a dinner date with Doug and Sue Easterday (Mommy's high school history teacher AND the couple that Mommy and Daddy went to France with in 2014).
Doug and Sue gave the kiddos awesome books, thank you!!!  They also gave Mommy and Daddy homemade wooden salt and pepper shakers that Doug made on a lathe...VERY awesome! Thank you!!


Dinner at Basil Leaf restaurant in Syracuse...Tiramisu in martini glasses :)


On Saturday, the Anthony's asked us to check on Bandit while they were gone for the day.  The kids had fun throwing the tennis ball for Bandit to chase.


We have a late blooming rose!


Daddy was so stressed out over the nail bitter Clemson game.  Daddy asked Mommy to keep him updated on the game while he and Ayson headed out to Ayson's last football game of the season!

Mommy and Daddy went to a Halloween party Saturday just down the street and Jean's (Mommy and Daddy's friend) grand daughter, Jasmine, watched the kiddos for us.  Thanks, Jean and Jasmine!!!


Mommy was dressed as "I Am NOT Your Happy Ending."  Back in 2013, Daddy went to Vietnam and bought Mommy a beautiful Vietnamese outfit...Mommy just had no where to wear it...so why not for Halloween!  Our friend Tham (from Vietnam) told us that the Vietnamese masseuses gave "happy endings" to their male patrons....yeah, you got that right.


Daddy cooked a hearty Sunday Breakfast!


A^4 went to Pratts Falls on Sunday to check out the fall colors, milk weed, and touch-me-not crops. We let the kiddos bring food on the hike and Addie wanted to bring her entire lunch "pail" and we said yes as long as she carried it.  She did an excellent job and actually walked the entire time! Great job, Baby Doll!



Picnic time under a tree!
