Although it is only Thursday, we have had a full week already. Our area is out of school this
week for our Fall Break. We headed to Birmingham on Tuesday to visit some of our family. Tuesday night we stayed with Nana and Pawk. We were able to track down the highly anticipated mt. pinson, the army-Navy surplus store in downtown Pinson. Austin loved looking at all of the military gear and MRE options...LOL:)
We managed to gather a birthday gift or two there, a Vietnam era ammunition box and a vest. Somehow over the past couple of years, Austin has clung to anything military, especially knives and gear. We went to Oneonta Wednesday morning to see what deals we could find. We must make another trip soon, but just the girls:)
Next it was time to go to Helena to see sister Tina and her family. That night we met Joan and Larry and everyone for half-price appetizers. What a fun tradition Tina suggested. We all got plenty to eat and it was cheap for the seven of us. We then went elsewhere for dessert...Applebee's. From chocolate sundaes to apple pie, we all had our own piece of sweet heaven. We were able to go to Teddy and his bride, Jessalyn's apartment to see how the nursery is coming along. We also got to meet their new addition, their puppy, Cookie. She was so sweet. Since Erin had to work, we didn't get to see much of her until Wednesday night. We also got to meet her new beau, Chris. What a great guy. I am happy and excited to see what God will do next in her life. This morning we hung out with Erin and ran around until it was time for a Milo burger...it is quite sinful not to go to Bham without having this gazillion calorie meal.
Now we are back home to finish up our week off..but have to do homework.
