Pumpkins, Football & Halloween

*Warning- LONG post, but has photos*
This weekend was a blast. We had so much fun from pumpkin picking, to Aggie football, to trick or treating with my niece and nephew- such a wonderful weekend!!
Friday:
After school I hurried home so we could go to the pumpkin patch. You don't understand. I have been begging Justin to go with me to the pumpkin patch to no avail. But Friday I texted him during work and said "Can we go to the pumpkin patch after school" as my last attempt to get him there before Halloween. His response, "sure" I was shocked so when school was out and the "fall" parties were over I hurried home. Daniel was here so the three of us headed to the pumpkin patch down by our house. Sadly, there was a pitiful selection of pumpkins so we got a baby pumpkin and took some pictures before going to HEB to get a real pumpkin. : ) After pumpkins came the catch. I knew there had to be something since Justin had been so sweet not only about going to the pumpkin patch but also taking pictures with me. The catch: the boys were going to the deer lease to hunt. I was okay with that though. I had some cute new photos of J and me, two pumpkins and needed to catch up on DVR anyways. : ) We went and ate dinner real quick at Koppe Bridge (amazing burger place) before they were off to hunt. Of course, they shot nothing and arrived back home around 9ish. We hung out awhile before going to bed. Another early morning game was going to be here soon...

Saturday:
We got up around 6:30 on Saturday morning and headed to campus to tailgate before the game at 2:30. A little ridiculous if you ask me....really 6:30 for a 2:30 game!! These boys really love their tailgate. We got there and ate some food and all hung out together until the game. They had an extra ticket so Justin and I both got to go. It was such a good game to go too. Its funny because I never go to games yet I always seem to wind up at the Tech vs. A&M game. (which is the first Aggie game I ever went too) The Aggies held their own and pulled out a win! We stayed the whole game and the weather was PERFECT. I wasn't sweating at all and I didn't need my sweatshirt until the very end. After the game, we went back to the tailgate and watched the Rangers beat the Giants in the World Series before loading up the tailgate and heading home. We didn't get home until around 10:30! Such a long day- but it was totally worth it.
Sunday:
We slept in before getting up and getting busy. I made a list of everything I needed to get done and got pretty much all of it done. Laundry, Grocery Store, Cook, Clean, Etc. After checking off each thing on my list, the trick or treaters arrived. Shortly after our first few trick or treaters we had some familiar faces at the door. Ella & Grayson or should I say...Little Po Beep and Prince Caspian. We ended up going over to their neighborhood and trick or treating with them. They were so cute. Thanks Taylor & Eric for letting us be a part of your Halloween fun! When we got back to their house we skyped with Cambrey (my SIL) who lives in Virginia and got to see my other two nephews Halloween costumes- adorable!! Then we skyped with my MIL and FIL so they could see Ella & Graysons costumes. I had never skyped before it is really cool. I am in the process of getting it on my computer now. : ) There is an on going joke in our family about my love of candy. Justin gets upset with me if I go someplace strictly to buy candy- I have been known to do this before- so last night I stole Ella's candy bag when we got back to the house and do you know what she did!?! She took her candy bag and hid it from me!! Hahaha! We laughed about it for quite some time. She eventually brought it back to me but she had to decide what she would give me. Aren't they so cute?? My hubby is pretty cute as well : )
