An update through photos: Patric's B-day Weekend Patric's Birthday was the 24th of October and emily had fall break the 19th through the 25th. So I decided I would go home October 21st through the 23rd. Abby wasn't going to come, but Patric invited her to his B-day party and she graciously accepted. So we got picked up by my mother on friday. My mom was in charge of my church's fall festival. Which is our alternative to Halloween for the kids. They all come to the church dressed up appropiately and play games and get candy. I always enjoyed it when I was little. Anyway, Seeing as my mom was in charge, Abby and I were automatically volunteered to help out. It was fun. Most of the adult helpers dressed up. Dad was a referee. Emily was a basket of dirty laundry and brought a tiara and a cloak so Abby could be a princess. I already knew she was, though. :wink: I didn't really dress as anything... perhaps a college student? Anyway.. we did that and then cleaned up by sucking out the helium from all the balloons. At home Patric, Emily, Abby, and I stayed up playing card games and doing magic tricks.Saturday, Mom made crepes for breakfast. Oh man!!!! I love crepes... smothered with sour cream, strawberries, and powdered sugar. In fact, I wrote a poem about it for creative writing about one and a half months ago. Check it out here. Then, for Patric's Birthday, we all went shopping in Milwaukee. It was fun. I like shopping. ON the way up Patric took some photos in the car... I think they look pretty cool even though some are blurring (b&w below). After shopping, we went to an authentic African cuisine resaurant. It was really good food. Everyone got something different, so it was fun to try a little bit of it all. There was this sauce there that was extremely spicy... like surprisingly spicy, but good. We came home and had Birthday cake. Guess what kind it was... it was brownie cake with a cookie dough frosting!!!! Holy comoly, It was intense. Then the family lounged around and watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I took Abby home, helped mom with church on sunday, and we all had a huge pasta lunch. And, That was that. It was fun. oh wait... no, I'm wrong. Abby and I carved pumpkins sunday night. Sweet!! WARNING: This was the first weekend I had my camera.. so alot of the shots are dark because I didn't really know what I was doing... I guess I still don't really know.
