Finally, back to a Normal Weekend!

For the past two weeks I have been dealing with my chronic "back issue" and have been laying pretty low. (This is definitely an issue I am finally going to take care of through physical therapy and visiting a spine specialist but let's just say our last couple of weekends have consisted of lots of Dexter, lots of reading, lots of laying in bed, oh, and eating in bed!)

This past weekend was uh-mazing simply because I felt like a normal human again with interaction outside of my house! Friday night we went OUT to dinner (which is rare for us because we love to cook at home so much) because I wanted to celebrate the Hub's raise and bonus! We went to Terracotta Red which is Asian Fusion and it was delicious.

Saturday morning we woke and hung some pictures around the house that I had been itching to get up and I must say they turned out GREAT! I am SO happy with them! We sat around and watched some football and then got together with some friends to head to the pumpkin patch! I haven't been to the pumpkin patch in years and it was SUCH a beautiful PNW day that no one in their right mind would have passed up this beautiful day to partake in such a classic fall activity. Hub have never been to a patch so it was high time he went!

We then picked up some pizzas and adult beverages and headed back to do some carvin'!

Such a fun, fall day with fun friends!

Sunday, Hub took advantage of the nice weather to smoke some beef and we had my family over for an "impromptu" birthday dinner for my dad. We had smoked beef sandwiched, broccoli casserole (recipe to come) and Mom brought some mashed potatoes. Dessert was Applescotch Crisp (recipe to come). Delicious dinner, quality time with the family and getting my back back to healthy!
What fun, fall festivities is everyone else taking part in these days? Corn mazes? Pumpkin patch? Making cider or applesauces?
