Two weekly updates for the price of one

Well, apparently last week got away from us. Sadly, we didn't even realize we forgot last week's post until Wednesday...at which point we decided to just wait until today. So here's what we've been up to for the past 14 days:

Last week was a blur. We met our friend Danielle for dinner on Wednesday night and had a good time catching up with her. That weekend, our friends Kelly, Tyler, Ashley and Joe came in from out of town (Chicago and Milwaukee). We, along with Mike, Erin and baby Leah, spent all day together. Unfortunately the pumpkin patch we'd planned to visit no longer exists. We found another place that had pumpkins, but we had to do without the haunted hay ride and corn maze. *sigh*. Oh well - the best part was getting a chance to hang out!

This week was really busy with work. We're both counting the days until Thanksgiving (just a month from now!) so we can get a break for a few days. Kim got stitches for the first time in her life (she got three, since that's apparently the follow-up question everyone asks). And don't worry, it wasn't for anything exciting.

Eric's parents came to visit for the weekend, and we've enjoyed spending time with them. It's hard to believe it's been several months since we've actually seen each other! We went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant we'd been wanting to try on Friday. On Saturday, we ran a few errands and took Peanut to the dog park. Come to find out, it was Howl-O-Ween at the dog park, so Peanut got to play with about 20 new friends. Needless to say, he was tuckered when we got home. Today, the girls went to the outlets while the boys worked on winterizing the house. Guess who got the better deal there!

And congratulations to our friends Andy and Barbi on the arrival of their daughter!

Current gas price: $2.19 (what a difference two weeks makes!)
