We had such a fun weekend! I didn't want it to end! On Friday night both my sisters and my parents came into town. Jay and I scrambled to clean the house and put up the fall decorations before everyone arrived. The weather was perfect and we were able to open the windows, light some fall candles, and blast the music as we prepared for our guests! Here are a few pictures of the house after some light fall decorating:
After much debate, we enjoyed Showmar's takeout for dinner. Since we don't have a kitchen table and our dining room table is always set for the season we did the usual family meal on TV trays. At some point in the future I've got to figure this seating thing out! Anyone else out there without an eat-in-kitchen? What do you do?
On Saturday, Jay headed up to Raleigh for the State game (Go PACK!!!) and I went out for brunch with my family. It has been so long since its just been the 5 of us. We had a great time catching up over IHOP omelets and pancakes. We did a quick run by Grower's Outlet to pick up mums and then I had to head over to the high school for the first of three football games my cheerleaders where cheering at on Saturday. If you are in need of mums or any flowers/plants/trees be sure to head to Grower's Outlet in Pineville. They have EVERYTHING and cheap cheap!!! All of my family headed home on Saturday evening and I was exhausted! My bestie MC was so kind and brought me our favorite Cracker Barrell takeout which we enjoyed in our pjs. Its so nice to have company around when Jay is out of town!
I had a super productive Sunday. Boomer and I woke up and planted all of the mums. I ran some errands and finished up my fall outdoor decorating. I was excited to see my husband Sunday evening and enjoyed cooking the yummy recipe that I posted earlier. Here's looking forward to another great weekend!!!
Also- My cheerleaders and I are walking in the Charlotte CROP hunger walk. The CROP walk takes place each Fall as a part of a nationwide endeavor to raise money to alleviate hunger and poverty in this country and overseas. 25% of all funds raised stay in Charlotte and are directed to the local agencies, Loaves & Fishes, Crisis Assistance Ministry and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. The remaining 75% goes to Church World Service to assist people around the world.
