How I spent my weekend 10/14/22 - 10-16-22

Friday I had to get groceries and cake for my sons upcoming birthday. My son had an away game after school. Saturday my stepson, my husband and the male beagles went to/hosted a youth pheasant hunt. They got home around 1. I ran to town to grab a few things. After I got back my husband took his female beagles out hunting and then went to his friends to grab his fishing tent and they just so happened to be having a Halloween party so he stayed for two hours. He got home at 9:30pm. My sons guitar strings broke and he was hoping to get new ones before his birthday. I wanted to get some tips for the new drum sticks I bought him to go with his roto Tom drum set for his birthday. So I drove up to guitar center yesterday (Sunday). At 3:30 my nephew had his last football game and I wanted to attend one. I had time to kill between guitar center and the game so the baby and I did some geocaching. She had a great time. Giggling as I’d take her photos with the geocaches. She touched the bark of a tree. She touched a leaf that had more prickly edges (kind of like a holly leaf) and she shook with chills lol. She’s getting braver. A few months ago she would scream and cry if she got near a leaf on a tree. I got to my nephew game a half hour late unfortunately. The game started early so some weird reason so by the time I sat down it was probably less then 15 minutes and it was over and I only saw my nephew in play for a few minutes. I’m horrible with sports I don’t understand why everyone was yelling and what the heck was going on. Photo is of a covered bridge I saw while geocaching at a little park on Sunday. I edited the photo to make it b&w.

Weekends are a great time to spend with family and create beautiful memories with the kids. I hope you enjoy the weekend with your family.

@Siplah11 unfortunately my older kids never want to do much with me. It’s nice to have a little one again though as soon enough she’ll want to go do fun events with me.

Time spent with family must always be treasured. Happy Birthday to your son when it comes.

What a shame you missed most of the game. That's a great photo. I love those old covered bridges. We don't have them here.

@Judyev she didn’t tell me until it was over that they usually start a half hour early. Had I know I would have planned to get there way earlier. I felt bad being late then worse when it was over without having seen much.

@RubyHawk it’s getting so cold out here I’m glad the games are about all done. My sons last home game is this weekend. He has one more away game the following week. His hands are so cold while playing the base and guitar during the games.

Certain sports l do not understand - one reason why l love track and field , so simple but exciting. I am sure your nephew was glad that you showed up anyway.

@Kandae11 that’s very true track and field is obvious what is going on. My nephew never saw me as far as I know. He was on the field and I didn’t see him when he came out. He went right to their car after changing and I was parked in a totally different lot.

That's a lot of stuff you and your family did in the week end Wonder why your little girl reacted the way she did when she touched a leaf, earlier. Glad she is now OK

@allknowing I’m not sure why she was scared of them but she has been for about 6 months. She’s getting better about it though.

@Tina30219 he did . I bought him two packages so he has a spare now. I think he was hoping to play while his best friend was here for his birthday today but she is grounded and can’t come. He just texted me

@Tina30219 I told him maybe she can come over another day and he, his best friend, the baby and I can go to eat somewhere or something.

@Ladyduck I’ve seen a few new bridges like this built at parks lately. I love them. Of course I love old ones better but one day this will be old too

cool picture. My weekend was full of soreness. Thursday I went to the doctor to have my blood drawn and I told them to go ahead and give me the flu shot too. My arm was sore until Sunday. Sunday my mother and I went to get the updated covid shot. Yesterday I had a headache all day and my mother had a fever. Today we feel better, but my mother's arm is still sore.

@Jessy3236 oh goodness ouch. I would have spaces the shots a week apart or more preferably a month. I need to get a flu shot soon. I’m glad your feeling better now and hope your moms arm will stop being sore soon.

Beautiful bridge. It reminds me of the bridge in the movie with Merril Streep and Clint Eastwood. I forgot the title of the movie.

@thelme55 that doesn’t ring a bell for me but that’s okay. I’ve seen bridges like these popping up around more parks the past year.

@CarolDM the baby needs a Halloween costume and my son needed socks. I did find her a snowsuit she needed but no costume. I’ve looked so many places for a costume I just don’t like what little I see in her size.

At least you made it to the game and that's the important thing. If you're not really into it then probably best you didn't have to sit through the whole thing!
