Well my first weekend of the season as a deer widow has been far more manageable than it was a year or two ago. The ability to throw on clothes and load up in the car sure beats the process of packing bottles, diapers, baby food, change of clothes, etc. A few highlights from the weekend:
- The kids stayed w/ Mimi and Popo on Friday night since I was in Dallas at a workshop for the day. I came home late Friday night to a quiet house. It was almost an eerie feeling.
- Saturday Avery and I had a first - a Paw-ty - a birthday party for Maggie, a puppy. She was 21 in dog years!
- Saturday night while the girls were at the paw-ty, Popo took the boys hunting at New Years Creek near by. The plan was to hunt about an hour and then go out to eat at Applebees. Turns out, Popo shot a 10-pointer which made going out to eat out of the question. Caleb said "I don't want that deer. I want to go to Bumblebees." Austin was so excited about the deer and even attempted to help get it on the bed of the truck.
- Sunday morning we skipped church and went to the park mid-morning. As we drove up to the house on our way home, buzzards were circling in the back yard.... never a good sign. I was able to find two dead chickens in the yard. 3 were hiding in the cedar trees and there is still two MIA.
- We made Halloween a two weekend event. The kids dressed up again today and we went to both great grandma's here in town. We missed both last weekend. We got just what we didn't need, more candy.
