Saturday activities for kids

It seems that Saturdays in October are just packed full of activites and you have to choose which ones might be the best. We decided to head to Home Depot first this morning so the boys could make fire trucks (October is fire safety month). I love to watch them build things (and to take their picture!), I think it so cool that they do these workshops for free. And I love their little aprons! I guess if I ever have a girl the equivalent will be to see her with an apron on in the kitchen baking with Mommy! We then decided to go to Stauffer's for their fall festival. It was fun, but it was so incredibly hot in the sun, that it took away part of the magic of a "Fall" festival. I believe it was about 85 degrees today with high humidity as it has been most of this week. Enough already, I wanted to be pregnant in the cool weather this time! And I want to wear my fall clothes, and take out the air conditioners, and cook in the oven. I know, I'll be complaining in a few months about all the snow, I just want to have a nice fall season! I should have taken some more "fallish" pictures with the boys, but again, it was the weather. We then came home to watch General Conference on T.V. There are two sessions on Sat.-12-2, and 4-6. After the first session was over, Hayden and I shopped at BJ's, then stopped by West York high as we noticed there was a football game going on. That was a fun little detour! Then just before the second session of conference started, Mike's mom noticed there was a small hole on one of our copper pipes in the basement. Call the plumber-Pap! We recorded Conference while Pap graciously replaced about 10 ft. of old pipe. Unfortunately, the pipe is corroding from the inside out because of all the acid in the water. If the water does that to a metal pipe, what does it do to us?! I'm glad we have a filter on our fridge. This is on top of the tiles that popped off the wall in our shower earlier this week. We need to get out of this house before it completely falls apart! This picture is separate from the rest, but I had to put it in-I love our little tamale!

Sounds like a fun day!! I was at the game... WooHoo!! West York beat the snot out of Dover!!! Go Bulldogs. This makes us 5/1... the only game lost so far was the first game (Central by 3 I think it was). And I agree, where is Autumn exactly?? I want the same things you do, minus the pregnant part... the getting pregnant would be fine, just not the being pregnant. hahahahahahahaa. One of these days I'm going to get myself into hot water, aren't I? Love Ya

I can't believe it was 85 degrees here this weekend? Man, we saw snow and sleet in Utah!
