We had a pretty great weekend. Some lows, but mostly highs. My weekend started off on a real high with lunch on Friday at Pine State Biscuits. This is a new restaurant in town that is originally from Oregon. It is biscuits in many different ways. From biscuits and gravy, to biscuit sandwiches topped with fried chicken and all the yummy fixing. It was definitely glutenous, but oh so good. I got a biscuit sandwich topped with fried chicken, mustard, pickles and honey. Plus we shared a plate of fries with sausage gravy. I wanted a homemade poptart for dessert, but that will have to wait for another day.

After lunch, we went home and I quickly headed out to go to Sephora. I needed a new make-up setting powder (Laura Mercier), Laura Mercier Puff and Essie Gel Polish. Then I went out and got my second Botox treatment. It was quick, painless and easy. Then I headed to Petco to exchange a sweater for Walter (he needed a smaller size) and then to Hobby Lobby to pick up some Fall and Christmas decor. I only bought some candy cane lights from the Christmas section, but plan on going back in about a month. 

I headed home to hang out with Rory and the girls before going out for Mexican food. It was originally supposed to be just me and the girls since Rory had a birthday party to go to, but that didn't start until 7, so he came to dinner with us and just had a margarita. We happily ate our food and then dropped Rory off at the party. The girls and I came in for a bit so his friends could see the girls. Some of them haven't seen them in 3 years other than photos. Everyone kept saying how much they look like me. That made me so happy since they didn't look like me when they were little. Then I took the girls home and got them to bed. I watched Grey's Anatomy and went to bed early.

Saturday morning the girls didn't have dance class since it was Fall Break, so we went to breakfast and then came home so my dad and Rory could unload and stack the wood for the winter! The girls watched and supervised while I cleaned the house. After the wood was stacked, we talked for awhile and then fed the girls lunch. My dad headed home and the girls napped. After naps, we got the girls ready and took them to my parents house for the night, so Rory and I could go to the football game.

After dropping the girls off, we headed to the tailgate for some food and drinks. Just after we finished eating, it started to rain....hard....for an hour. We were all huddled under tents by the fire pits. It stopped raining just before the game started, so we went inside the stadium to dry our seats off and hope for a Nevada win. Spoiler: they lost and it was really cold and a long game since it was on ESPN.

The new stadium entrance was supposed to have our names on bricks (we donated money to the school), but they made this instead. Still pretty cool.

Sunday morning we slept in until 8 am which was heavenly. Then we got ready and went to breakfast and then grocery shopping. We headed down to my parents house just after 1:30 to pick up the girls. When we got to my parents house, they were snuggled on the couch watching Monsters University. After catching up a bit, we headed back out to go to the pumpkin patch. We went to one that Rory and I haven't been to in over 10 years and it was pretty fun. We picked out pumpkins, went on a hay ride, walked through a corn trail, saw some animals and took lots of photos.

 The girls were trying to feed the animals.

We spent a couple hours at the pumpkin patch and then headed home to cook dinner. The girls helped me make dinner which has been really helping with them eating what we are having. Stephanie's tips are working!!!

After dinner, we got ready for the week, did the normal bedtime routine and then watched Better Call Saul after the girls went to bed.
