Harvest Homecoming and Company

It's been a crazy week since we got back from our trip! We were getting back in the swing of things and getting ready for my godsister Andrea to come from VA. She arrived at 11:30 pm Thursday night! I couldn't believe how many flights were arriving before and after that time of night!

We had a blast! Friday we went to my mom's so she could see her new house and then mom took us out to lunch at Los Indios, yummy! Then on to Hobby Lobby and Andrea had never been to one so we were there over 2 hours and she just was in heaven! We were still in the shopping mode so we decided to switch our plans around and head on over to Archivers and Dee's Fri afternoon instead of Sat. So off we went and Archiver's had lots of new goodies; she found a couple of ornaments at Walnut Ridge next door, we hit the Disney Store and Sephora too...then on to Dee's right before closing time. We got home much later than we had planned but that was okay! We changed into warmer clothes and walked down to Harvest Homecoming around 8:00-8:30. Had yummy Chicken and Dumplins, she loved the Roasted Sweet Corn and Pumpkin Roll, I had the caramel apple slices and we bought some Buckeyes to take home. It was super crowded but fun. We stayed up late looking at trip pictures and scrapbooks.

Saturday we started working on her accordian album with their beach trip pictures. We took a break to walk back down to Harvest Homecoming with Tim for lunch. Tim got his cardboard pizza again and Andrea and I got pretty much the same thing we had Fri night along with Ribbon Potatoes. Back to the house and we decided we'd better go to Rock, Paper, Scissors especially since they had the Prima Rhinestone Swirls...then we hit Ben Franklin and Big Lots. Shop, shop, shop....fun, fun, fun!

Finished up her cute beach album complete with a tan painted frame, glitter added and painted over partially to look like sand (how cute an idea was that? Andrea gets the credit!) on the front cover and then Tim grilled London Broil for us and it turned out great! That is the first meal he's ever cooked for me unless you count a small frozen pizza! Hmmmmm....now that he is an expert grill guy....

We scrapbooked some more, took pictures and she had to start packing! We stayed up late again looking at my old scrapbooks and making fun of the awful papers back then! Ugh!

Sunday came too soon and we had a little time in the morning to look at some more scrapbooks, do a little photo shoot and then it was time to go to the airport and send her back to VA. She promised not to wait six years to come next time!

And now, with Harvest Homecoming behind us, and Halloween on the horizon, it's time to get serious about Christmas decorating!
