Normally our weekends are pretty uneventful and always begin with Chris and I asking each other, "What should we do?" Without kids this would be an easy question to answer...relax!
Friday I took the kids to meet my mom at the pumpkin patch. They spent the most time in the bounce house, but they did like other things, like climbing around the train, which wasn't running due to very few people there. :)
Saturday morning while Chris was off to his free birthday golf, I picked up my mom and we headed to the Halloween party at Victoria Gardens. They did a really cute job and the kids walked away with two mini pumpkins, some small toys, and a $5 gift card (each!) to a candy store. :)
Yesterday we actually celebrated Chris' birthday by getting to spend the entire afternoon just the two of us. My parents took the kids after church and we headed home to an empty house. We later drove out to the desert, saw a movie, shopped (granted it was at Walmart, but boy was it nice taking my time walking around!), and having dinner at Cheesecake Factory. :)
Conversation after I ordered a veggie burger (much to Chris' dismay):
Me: Wow! Chris, look at the size of this pattie!! It's huge!
Chris: Well, so is a tire but that doesn't mean you should eat it!!
The veggie pattie ended up being a 10+++. It was AWESOME!!!

So glad you both had such a nice day. And the little pumpkin patch and Victoria Gardens party were really fun, too. Little children are such great reminders that great enjoyment can be had from very simple unsophisticated events.
...you failed to mention what your veggie burger was made of--beets & brown rice, was it? :)
Mom
How fun!! Yes, I think you should try to re-create the veggie burger and then post the recipe so we can make it. That can be your next post. Looking forward to it. =)
ps: LOVE the tire comment!!! Too funny. =) hahaha
