Besides keeping up with the fall traditions-like watching football games, we have been getting into the Halloween spirit. I am slowly getting the decorations out. Mostly we have to be home to do that. Instead we traveled to Busch Gardens on Friday night to enjoy the Haunted mazes. We swung by Salisbury U to pick up Allison first. Scott was off on Friday from school so we had the extra time to get Allison. Sadly we missed Scott's Homecoming weekend. Last year his robotics team had a robot in the neighborhood parade that Scott helped design and build that threw candy at the spectators. This year the kids just put together a sling shot to toss out the candy. So we did not feel like we missed out out on too much. And Scott was not terribly interested in their high school football game or dance. Instead we had a wonderful time running through all the spooky mazes at Busch Gardens on Friday night. The park was busy, but apparently not as crowded as Saturday night. We met up with our neighbors that were spending their weekend in Williamsburg. They stayed over until Saturday but said it was even more crowded at Busch Gardens-traffic backed up on the freeway. We spent Friday night at the hotel, but had decided to leave early and head back to Salisbury to drop Allison off Saturday afternoon. We had to take her car in to Mr Tire to check out the sensor that went off during the week. Fortunately it was only a loose sensor and not a flat. While they were checking out her car, we ran some errands and took Allison out to lunch. I insisted that the girls decorate their front door of the condo for Halloween. Allison agreed to put out some flowers, a small scarecrow and spider webs. I also dropped off a few more apples and a bag of bread. Can't let the college girls starve. We had to get back to pick up Cookie from the kennel so we left early in the afternoon. .
Allison had homework to catch up on as she traveled to Philly Sunday afternoon to play a few Field Hockey games. They tied their first game and won the second against Drexel University. Great job Allison! And congrats on making it through midterms. (Midterms already?)
Big Halloween decorations!
On Sunday I was busy running errands after dropping Scott off to work. I picked up my mom so she could come along. We also stopped off for lunch. I had some more paperwork for her to help me fill out for her finances. And we are still busy planning the funeral service for my father in December in Florida. We stopped into the funeral home to pick up some prayer cards for my Dad that I had printed. There is still more planning to do and more paperwork to take care of-Tom helped me set up a new online payment system for my mom. It seems like it never ends!
Scott was very happy to take a break this weekend. Besides being busy with school, he had his video club and then had to help run the Boy Scout meeting as his new Assistant Sr Patrol Leadership position. And he attended a presentation with Tom on the Eagle Scout process Monday night. The Scout Leader was not too happy that he missed camping with the Troop this weekend for Weebelos Oree. Scott was not sad he missed it. Our temperatures dropped into the chilly 40s with our first frost of the year. There were actually a few snow flakes coming down when I picked up my mom Sunday afternoon! And we broke down and turned on the fireplace. Now that is cold! I did manage to get a few bushes trimmed, leaves raked, summer plants brought inside and Tom cut the grass in between Sunday football games. Time to get ready for another busy week!
