Thursday

One of the first things that Woody attempted to do today was to take our Taurus to get its window fixed. When he attempted to start it, the battery was dead...so had to jump it before he could take it in. He walked back home after dropping the car off. Joseph and Isaac had their school times with us. Isaac stayed so he could have time with Erin. They played with the Fisher Price barn and also the spools that I have saved over the years from all the sewing that I have done...they make great building "blocks." I think that this was the first time that Isaac had played with them and stacked them up, etc. While they played, I tried to straighten up the toy closet under the stairs. It looked much better when I finished...and once again they can walk in and get things to play with. That must have been an invitation as later in the day Elijah and Esther came over and ended up playing with some of the other things in the toy closet...and Isaac came back and this time played with the Fisher Price Circus train and animals. This is Erin's last full day here so we planned a special supper...crepes...main dish crepes and dessert crepes. After eating the savory crepes, she and Goosey (Woody) went next door to take care of children while Nathan and Kathy went out on their Thursday night date. They have just returned and we will now have our dessert/evening snack of nutella and banana crepes. The meal count is now at 23...two beyond a week of meals...one meal to go...tomorrow's breakfast. Erin has a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon so we plan to head Murfreesboro way late morning. It has been a really pretty fall day here in Middle TN. I think that I heard that cooler temperatures are heading our way. Erin and Goosey have been working on the Middle School boy's trunk for Trunk or Treat. Erin was given the job of painting a sign...and the two of them went to purchase stuffed skunks for the "Clunk-a-Skunk" game that their group is planning to do for their part of Trunk or Treat...anyone remember Wack-a-Mole? This is a take-off on that game...one that Woody attempted once at Opryland many moons ago...not his favorite game...but sounds like a winner for Trunk or Treat.
