Pig Out

Last week was busy all around. I came home from work one day to find that Aunt Erin had completely rearranged our living room furniture...I think she needs a raise.

We decided on Thursday that it was high time we carved our pumpkins, so we began that process. But, we didn't get too far as it was time for Kendall's bath. She wasn't really feeling the fun.
We began this past weekend with an Oktoberfest gathering at our house. We purchased several six packs to try and share. Turns out no one else likes Smithwicks and Ruination wasn't that big a hit either. But, we had lots of fun eating our strudel, sauer kraut and beer brats. Kendall even dressed for the event in her laderhosen. We just laid around on Saturday and enjoyed watching football. On Sunday we took in a free concert in Batesburg-Leesville. It was a bit chilly, but we had a great time listening to our favorite local band, Lundy play at the amphitheater. It was a great venue as there were several large bonfires bits, picnic tables, and playground equipment all around. It was just too bad that not more people showed up. We'll include pics of that in the next post.

Monday night we took in more football (of course). Earlier in the day we brought lunch to Aaron at school as he had a professional development day at work and was therefore actual afforded a 30 minute lunch.
We are really looking forward to seeing the Redmonds when they arrive next Monday for a quick few days visit. Hopefully it isn't too cold for them - as we have already turned on the heat here!

It is so cold, we've begun to think about the holidays - Erin thinks that this should be the photo chosen to adorn our holiday card. While I do not agree, it is a classic shot of all the Masons pigging out!

Tomorrow we'll take in the State Fair after work to pig out some more.

I love the idea of the beer tasting...I wish we had more friends who liked beer!
