Happy Veterans day off

First off Happy Veterans Day!! Here is a really old picture of Patrick & his siblings. Army, Air Force, Navy.

In my family two brothers and one sister were in the Army, one brother currently in the Coast Guard.

 The kids had school today, but Patrick and I were both off. We got to enjoy a rare date day.

We went out to breakfast at Wecks, yum!

We then did some window shopping for Christmas presents, and picked up supplies for a Christmas craft project I'm working on.  Next off, we went to the movies and saw Ender's Game.  It was good.  They did a really good job.  Sometimes when they make a movie from a book it's not very good, but we both really enjoyed it.

 

After the movie we went over to Menchies for a treat. 

 

After the kids were home from school we went for a family walk/scooter ride.  We looked at some construction near our house.  We decided spur of the moment to walk/scooter over to ihop for dinner.

 

It was such a nice day off.  Back to the regular grind tomorrow.

Yummy food

I had some time this afternoon, so I did sone baking/ cooking.
I made french onion soup for the first time ever. It turned out really good.
I also made several loaves of multi grain bread. It was a nice relaxing way to spend my afternoon.

Soccer Tournament

Griffin played in a soccer tournament this weekend. It was beautiful! It could not have been more perfect weather. We are done now till early Jan.  Their team did really good.


Game 1 they won 6~1
Game 2 they lost 2~3
Game 3 they won  7~4
Game 4 they won 7~1

We just found out they placed 2nd in their bracket! Griff's coach dropped off his metal a few minutes ago.

YUM

For those of you who don't know Patrick makes the BEST Biscuts & Gravy. I've tried them at resturants all over the place, and nothing compares.  We were lucky enough to have them for dinner tonight, yum!

Injury prone

I'm not sure what's been going on.  This last week I've injured myself three times.

1.  One morning, I was frying up some bacon and grease splattered on my arm and burned me. I got a blister, and now it's a scab. Looks like I will have a small scar.

2. I decided to revise my pumpkin the night after we carved them.  As I was cutting the knife slipped and cut my finger.  Luckily Savannah was right there and ran to get me a rag fast.  It's a pretty deep cut.  I bandaged it the best I could and decided to have Pat look at it in the morning.  Boy, was it painful! He said it may need stiches, but since it was a nice straight cut they'd probably just glue it shut.  He bandaged me up, and I went to work.  At work it kept breaking open and  would start bleeding.  I went to see our school nurse.  She said exactly what Patrick had told me.  She said to save money and skip the urgent care to just go buy some liquid bandage at the pharmacy.  On my lunch break I bought supplies, and when I got back to the school the Nurse offered to bandage/ glue me up.  It's seems be doing better today. I'll have a scar on my finger fo

r sure.

3.  Last night while we were out trick-or-treating I stubbed my toe.  I was in flip flops (crazy since it was freezing) it hurt, but I didn't think much of it.  When I got home I looked down at my feet and saw my toe covered in blood.  I guess when I stubbed it I cut it.  I washed it off, and luckily the cut is pretty small and easy to bandage.




Hopefully next week will go more smoothly.
