Two Posts in One Day!

(If you haven't already, be sure to check out the pumpkin patch photos below.)

We had a guest with us all weekend - Mouse. He spends each weekend with one of the kindergarteners in William's class, and this weekend it was William's turn.

Mouse likes cookies. But if you give a mouse a cookie... well, I don't want to spoil it for you. You'll just have to read the book for yourself to find out what might happen! Here's some of the fun we had with Mouse...

We quickly learned that Mouse likes more than just cookies. He was anxious to try the pizza we had for dinner on Friday night.










Zack bought us a dozen yummy Krispy Kreme donuts. Well apparently Mouse thought they were yummy, too. When William went to bed on Friday night, there were 7 in the box. When he checked again on Saturday morning, there were only 4. That silly Mouse!









Mouse slept well all 3 nights, although he did try to steal the covers. And we kept finding cookie crumbs everywhere!









Mouse was especially excited to watch William's soccer game on Saturday morning. William scored 2 goals, and Mouse sat with us to cheer him on.


















Mouse made himself at home at Baba & Pop's house, and quickly found the bowl of Halloween candy...









Mouse rode to church with us on Sunday morning. After church, he joined us and some friends at Frontera for lunch. He really liked the cheese dip!









Mouse tagged along as we chose our pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. Then he enjoyed the cool October air as we made our way back home.









Mouse supervised as William journaled about their weekend adventures.










All in all, it was a great weekend with Mouse, and we miss him already. We hope all the other children take great care of Mouse like our William did!

Pumpkins!

We had a fairly quiet weekend, which was welcome after all the busy-ness we've had going on lately! Mouse (from William's kindergarten class) spent the weekend with us. I'll try to post some of his adventures on here later this weekend. But you should be able to spot him in a few of our pumpkin patch pictures. With Zack's help, William picked out 2 of the biggest pumpkins I've ever seen. When we got home we weighed them, and their combined weight is almost 90 pounds!

Discount

I just got an email with another 80% off sale at RESTAURANT.COM!!!

Log into http://www.restaurant.com/, and when you're ready to check out be sure to enter the discount code EIGHTY. This offer is good through Wednesday, October 15.
($25 gift certificates will be $2, and $10 gift certificates will be $0.60!!)

EDITED TO ADD: Always read the fine print on certificates before purchasing. There are minimums that you must spend. Most are $10 more than the value of the certificate. And most will limit the days that you can use them (i.e. you can only use them during the week).

But I find that it's worth if it's somewhere you go anyway, or if it's for a place you've been wanting to try but didn't want to take the plunge with the whole pocketbook!
