We visited Columbus, OH this weekend to visit my family. It was a good weekend. We got some babysitting time from Grandma and a chance to go shopping just us grownups. Anyone without kids might not understand how HUGE that is. Spitz and I wandered a mall for about 2 hours and went clothing and shoe shopping for OURSELVES! We had some serious needs. My tennis shoes (that I live in, by the way. I am all for comfy shoes. No gorgeous, but painful shoes for me.) were completely shot; by that I mean they squeaked even when I walked across carpet. Spitz was in dire need of new dress shirts to wear to work. (He'd be in dire need of dress pants, too, but I've found the best way to get those is to order from Lands' End online and get the exact measurements he needs. He's so slender, it's hard to find his size.)
And to top it off, we got smoothies. That solidified that what we were really on was a date. You have to take them when you can get them when you have 3 kids!
Then we came home yesterday and my parents came too - a last minute plan to our happy surprise. My mother and I made pie crusts to freeze in preparation for Thanksgiving. Homemade crusts are sooooo much better than store-bought ones. May and Ruth had a great time mixing the left over bits with sugar and cinnamon which we'll bake in the morning for their breakfast. That part is a new experiment; hope they are edible!!
