We had a busy weekend and it has taken me until today to get caught up. Still not actually caught up but thought I would blog anyway. All work and no play . . .

My sister and her family decided to come up from South Carolina for a quick weekend trip. My kids were thrilled to get to spend time with their cousins. My sister and her husband took advantage of having family around and spent Saturday night and Sunday at a cabin on the parkway for a much needed break. That meant we got to have sleep overs, play, carve pumpkins, play, go on a hay ride and play some more. The Galax Farmer’s market had pumpkin carving Saturday morning so we enjoyed carving pumpkins and leaving the mess there. They were so proud when we lit the Jack o lanterns before bed.
