Baking some muffins with my kiddos on Saturday (ok, so doing the laundry wasn't so meaningful, lol!) and finishing the crocheting of an afghan for a family member for Christmas (can't say who since the person probably will be reading this!) and getting ready to start another (hope I can get that one done in time, as well!)
While I was baking, the kiddos were outside playing and enjoying this beautiful fall weather we are having.
We couldn't help but notice that the marigolds that Kiddo #3 started from seeds are still hanging in there! :-)
On Sunday after church, hubby and I took the kiddos on various errands. Kiddo #4 wants to make her brothers all a gift in her sewing class. She picked out the perfect fabric (Philadelphia Eagles!) and pattern to make some lounge pants for Kiddo #2. Kiddo #3 got to buy his Halloween costume and we had to order Kiddo #2's, since the sporting goods store doesn't carry the player's jersey that he wanted.
Another weekend for which I am grateful.
The Kiddos are looking forward to picking out and painting some pumpkins this week. Come Friday, we will be attending our church's family retreat for the weekend. It is always a wonderful, refreshing experience of prayer and fellowship. Unfortunately, my husband has military duty and will not be able to join us. I will, of course, be sad, and not feel like a complete family, but I know he will be with us in spirit, as he will be in our thoughts and prayers. :-)

Stopping by from the monday mingle blog hop. Love your blog. Lets connect on facebook too.
Lovely marigold, that is one of my favorite flowers! :) Sounds like you have much to be thankful for, indeed. Congrats on finishing the afghan - homemade gifts are the best, I think.

Visiting from Monday Mingle. Your weekend coming up sounds great. I will be helping at a camp this weekend for developmentally disabled adults. It is always a great spirit filled time.
I know I commented on this! I think the comment monster ate it! Looks like such a great weekend. I love how your kids all play together. So awesome. Can't wait to see what your daughter makes for her brothers. Sorry your hubby can't join you for the retreat. Looking forward to seeing the painted pumpkins Lisa! :)
