Friday evening my mom came up since she was babysitting on Sunday. She decided to spend the weekend. We all love when she comes! After I got home from work we went to Halloween Express and let the kiddos pick out costumes. Mere originally was going to be a hippie and Max a zombie. After looking at costumes, though, we left with a Pirate and a Vampire! After we ate at Olive Garden. It just wasn't as good as it use to be. Maybe it' s because I don't eat gluten daily or pasta all the time anymore. But I was kind of sad. The kids were probably the best behaved eating out so that was a win.
Saturday we had a slow start to our day. I was able to take Rupp on a nice long walk , do some laundry, and enjoy a cup of coffee. We then went to the pumpkin patch in Dry Ridge called the County Pumpkin. We really like this one. It has a great play area for the kids along with the standard farm animals, maze, and hay ride out to pumpkin fields. It was so warm out. I don't think the kids have ever worn shorts and tshirts on our annual trips to the pumpkin patch. Of course, it wouldn't be a Boots family trip without some melt down and attitude thrown in. #reallife ya'll!! Sometimes our kids need a little dose of reality or in this case a moment to regroup themselves in the truck (with us and the air on fyi haha). After a lecture and some threats for shits and giggles it was back to enjoy the day!! Once we were home they couldn't wait to decorate their pumpkins and momma couldn't wait to pop open a bottle of wine to take the edge off!! Max and I fell asleep on the couch by 8:00 (does that make me officially old...nah....will never admit to that.).
Yesterday Nick purchased our tickets for our flight to NYC. I can't hardly wait. The kiddos know we are going and it will be part of their gift and that Santa isn't bringing them as much as he normally does. Also we always buy them gifts from us to unwrap. They won't be getting that either this year. But, hells bells, they are getting NYC decked out in all her Christmas beauty. That is better than any gift that they will play with for several days and forget about after. Now they don't know we are flying. We have talked about wanting to fly but are keeping that part secret.....so shhhh!! I am going to wrap little airplanes and give to them on the morning we leave!! I already have our 3 day itinerary written out (yes, I am OCD and love to plan things out. I can't wait to share how we do NYC with ya'll afterwards!). No Monday blues after booking those flights!! Hope your all's Monday is off to a great start as well!!
