Jake's trip to Austin = Operation Sanity Restoration

Our little man Jake went to Nonny & PawPaw's house for the weekend. They took him to the Fall Festival at their church on Friday night (he was a Samurai) and he played games and got tons of candy. They took him shopping on Saturday and to the "big movies" to watch the new Chihuahua flick. He came home with bags full of new clothes, PJ's, toys and candy. He had a great time and said two nights was just not enough. I'll let you know how long it takes us to bring him back to reality now that he's back home:)

Drew and I had a great time while Jake was away. The house was SOO quiet. We went on a date Friday night which was really nice. We went to PF Chang's (our fave place) and decided to skip the movie theater and rent one instead (saving us like $20). We hung out all day Saturday watching football. Alabama beat Arkansas State (Andrew= happy) and then Texas lost to Texas Tech (me=sad), but that made Alabama move up to #1 in rankings (Andrew=REALLY happy).

Saturday night we went to a costume party for my friend's birthday and Drew got to meet many of the cool people I work with. The party was a lot of fun and we actually dressed up. We wanted to do something creative that we could put together at home, so- Andrew was a terrorist and I was the bomb.
I spray painted toilet paper rolls to make Drew's dynamite....

And my costume was complete with a duct-tape belt wrapped in red-electrical wire with a timer on the front....

This is me with my friend Paula.... My camera battery died right after we arrived so I didn't get many other pics.

It was really nice having time with Andrew this weekend while Jake was away and I almost did not know what to do with all the spare time I had from NOT having to answer Jake's million- questions-a-day:) But by Sunday evening I was missing the sound of footballs flying through the air & hitting the walls, boys yelling in the middle of wrestling moves while Timber is barking and trying to get in the middle of it, and hearing "Mommy...."
