Uno, losing, and Helen


hello to all! Well as you can see, Helen came to visit this past week....and we had a blast! We cooked a ton, carved pumpkins, went shopping, and had an Uno war with Bray pretty much every night. I know some of you are probably thinking that Uno is for kids, but let me tell ya, it can be intense! We even had some times where we couldn't speak to each other for hours.:)
As you can see, Hobbes enjoyed Helen a lot, and vice-versa. Bray asked us to make cookies for his choir boys, so we decorated halloween cookies, just like old times. We made at least 70 cookies, and amongst 11 guys, they were devoured in minutes. Sheesh! Teenage boys are bottomless pits! Anyhow, we also hit the Piggly Wiggly-the ultimate Southern grocery store- and the Super walmart. Because Helen flew out of Monroe Monday, we did not go for the weekend. Although we missed seeing Bray's fam, I was able to cook my first official Sunday dinner since we've come down here. To top everything off, we carved pumpkins in the evening, and although Hobbes isn't allowed to play with knives yet, we did let him have a drawn-on face on his pumpkin. I hope you all enjoy your upcoming Halloween/reformation weekends, and we miss you all!
