Sunday...sunday...sundaaaaay....

Today was just a gorgeous day! Fall...really a beautiful fall day!

Yesterday late afternoon my family and I "hiked" (drove, really) over to our church for the Fall Festival that was going on. Oh wow! So many fun costumes and we even had a headless guy who carried his head around...(you just had to see it...it was funny, not that gory!)...and one family was just so adorable. They had found a great deal on costumes for the kids at a yard sale. A really well made cow costume for a young boy, perfect for their son, and a really CUTE chicken costume for their not yet 1 year old baby! OH how cute! They only paid 4 dollars for these 2 costumes. Mom made up her own costume by attaching a pink curly tail to her pink sweat pants, wore a pink sweater with a hood, attached pig ears and made a nose out of felt and using rubber bands (or elastic? it looked like rubber bands)...and the dad was being the typical Farmer. So cute! They had a bale of hay, and they posed.

Me being one of the 3 judges, I had to be careful not to play favorites as this family were good friends of mine---well, they ended up winning first place (2nd time 2 years in a row!). WOW! Very creative. I like!

Chili cook-off....there were 10 different ones to sample from. Yum.

Caramel poured over cut up apples, popcorn, hot dogs, fried donuts (really those biscuits you pop open and bake? deep fry 'em...shake cinnamon or powdered sugar on 'em) and...lemonade. Lots of candies and treats. And I got a toothbrush as a bribe from a tooth fairy trying to win the best looking trunk of treats. LOL.

Today was just a "take it easy" kind of day. We had a large group today at church, which was really nice to have.

Took a nap, made a yummy dinner and I just finished a delicious glass of chocolate milk.

Helping Josh with his student of the week project. I decided I would just print out pictures instead of sending in real ones. So far it works. I might have more but need go easy on the ink.

What have you all been up to this weekend?

Oh deer....

It's really weird outside. It's just little overcast, and not much sunshine...and expecting it to rain. The feeling of being stuck between summer and fall. Like it's teetering on a fence, deciding which side to jump down onto.

Shall we nudge it back into the summer side?

This morning I ran across a couple deer ... and realized that the deer are out now...

The one I nearly hit was just standing on the side of the road. When I slowed down, the deer just calmly looked at me...and let me pass. Egads.

Further down, another one was bounding across the road. Nearly missed that one.

Much further along...more deer on the fields by the road.

I cautioned the team (Deaf Cafe) about driving and to keep eye out on the deer. They're out! Watch out!
