Scenes from the weekend

By Friday afternoon, I was more than ready for the weekend. I tidied up my desk in the library, picked Dylan up from school and then headed home to sit on the couch and do nothing for a while.

Friday night was nice. Singapore cashew curry at the Noodle Box {no way was I making dinner after the week I'd had!} Tea at my mom & dad's. Souvenirs from England and Scotland. An early night with my hot water bottle and a good book.

Saturday morning we slept in {our early riser, Dylan, was at a sleepover}. Later, we spent a few hours at the "Tough Truck Challenge" at the fall fair with Amanda & Philip and their boys. Normally not my thing, but we had free passes and couldn't resist. It was rednecky and hilarious. A total boys' paradise of big, dirty trucks doing crazy stunts. Afterwards, cotton candy and blackberry pie. An afternoon wander through the midway and promises to return on Sunday with Dad. Watching dinosaur dvds, falling asleep on the couch. Thinking about doing housework, but not getting around to much of it. Doctor Who and a glass {or two} of wine.

Sunday swimming lessons. Cobb's bakery bread and hot tea. Sawyer got stung by a bee, but was quickly calmed down with cuddles {and a chocolate scone}. Back to the fair, with Daddy in tow this time. The carousel and the bumper cars and wandering the exhibits. More naps, and a baby shower for my cousin Liz and her little Lily. Getting groceries and planning for the week ahead. I'm grateful for my Mondays off to finish getting things done before the madness begins again.

Tough trucks! Woo hoo!

I posted this photo on Facebook. My friend Charlotte wrote, "Hardcore. Awesome." Exactly the look I was going for.

 The boys loved when the excavator had to push the truck over the pile of logs and boulders.

My sister, the rocker chick.

 Ferris wheel and blue sky.

 Fair food.

Even better fair food.

 We bumped into Grandpa at the gas station,. And yes, that really is his car!

 The fair, take two!

 Spinning strawberries. Just watching them made me feel dizzy.

 Bright colours on the midway.

 Hooray for the bumper cars!

 Look out, Dylan!

A wheelbarrow full of pumpkins? It's official~ it must be fall.

How was your weekend? I want details!
