Autumnfest 2014

Last Saturday was Autmnfest. DH was busy all day with in charge of the beer tent. I signed up to volunteer from 12:00-2:00 so I would be free for the rest of the day. J got there and took off with his friends. I don't think I saw him again until 8:30 when he was ready to go home. B had fun and stopped in for a photo every now and then. A was there early with her friends but it was homecoming that night. They left around 2:30 to get ready for the big night. I can't believe how grown up they are all.

State Fair 2014

We ended up with an afternoon free on the last day of the Fair. A was at Six Flags with the church youth group, so the rest of us headed out. We took the obligatory walk through the auto show where the boys checked out sports cars. B practiced his Heisman stance. Next on the list was corny dogs.

We spent way too much time in the midway. B played lots of games. J tried multiple times on the shoot the star with the bb gun game. He came very close, maybe next year. They both rode the bumper cars and B rode a couple of little rides. He's still my little boy who loves motorcycles.

On our way out we walked back through the auto show so the boys could drive a simulation video game. They ended up being too short. We found a pinball machine instead and played for free. I was the queen of pinball and beat them all. All the boys want a machine at home!

We grabbed an ice cream on the way out. It was a great visit to the Fair.

Friday night

A went to a football game. J went backpack camping with the Boy Scouts. B played his last baseball game of the season. It was a good Friday night.

State Fair Field Trip #3

B is in third grade this year, so he got to go on the State Fair field trip and I got to chaperone. It wasn't as good as the other two times. The people at the fair were not as organized as previous times. There was a lot of walking to a place, figuring out where we were suppose to go and then waiting for something to start. I had B and two other boys to watch. One of them kept disappearing. I had to go to the teacher multiple times and tell her I couldn't find him. At least she knows the kid and knew it wasn't do to lack of attention on my part. B was sad because he wanted to go ride the rides and eat a corny dog. Maybe next year!

Baseball

I got to see B pitch tonight. He pitched two innings and struck out 3 batters holding them to 0 runs in his second inning. Plus, he got a home run later in the game. It was a good baseball night for B.

TCU football

In order to go to the Aggie game at SMU, we bought SMU season tickets. Since we had tickets, DH & B joined S#2 & her family for the TCU v SMU game on Saturday.  The rest of us had other plans. J went camping with Boy Scouts. A & I had some mother/daughter bonding over toe shoes & pedicures.

Chore

I cleaned my fridge. It was such an accomplishment, it needed a blog post. I don't want think about how long it had been since it had been completely cleaned. Earlier this summer, the boys tried making orange juice popsicles in the freezer. Somehow it spilled and it was disgustingly sticky everywhere. The fridge wasn't much better. It took several hours but it was well worth the effort. It feels so refreshing to open the refrigerator door and see clean.
