InstaFriday

A bit of a repetitive InstaFriday post because I've already covered three of the measly five pictures in previous posts.  Gonna' do my best not to Instagram major events anymore since I usually take plenty of camera pics of said events.  InstaFriday will hopefully continue on as a glimpse of the smaller moments in our week.  :)

On our eighth anniversary (October 2nd), Craig and I took the day off to spend together and enjoy a mid-day date.  It was really nice... if a little over planned. 

I hadn't intended to spend the morning of my anniversary at the metal scrapyard!  ;)  But with little other free time to make that trip, it made sense to get it out of the way sans children.  So we took the trailer (already loaded up with all the old siding from our house) and sold it!  Amazing that they can use all that to make new things.  And also nice to get a chunk of change toward the new siding!

Anyway, following that romantic adventure, we dropped the trailer off and drove to Will's school to meet him for lunch.  He wasn't expecting us so it was so fun to see his shock and confusion when we were waiting for him outside his classroom door before he walked down for lunch.  Craig and I didn't eat there... just sat with our little buddy while he ate and chatted about his day.  It was so fun to see him interacting with all his new peers and hearing SO MANY kids saying "Hi, Will!" as we walked down the hall and sat in the cafeteria.  I was thinking "who's kid are you?" as he chatted easily and intereacted with everyone.  Will sooooo takes after his dad in this regard.  Mr. Big-Social-Circle seems to be adapting to meeting TONS of new friends with ease.  I just didn't get that gene. ;)  I was always friendly acquaintances with everyone but my intimate social circle was kept very small.

Following our meet-up with Will, Craig and I had lunch at Claddagh's Irish Pub (YUM! Thank you, Groupon!) and then caught a movie afterward.  Trouble with the Curve... GREAT movie!  Our movie ended just in time for us to go pick up our CSA vegetable bag at the hospital pick-up location and then we had enough time to swing by the Dairy Depot for a strawberry cheesecake ice cream cone before picking up the kids.  I had in mind a little more chill time when taking this day off, but it was a good and productive day nonetheless.

Our fridge is loaded down with fall art work right now:

Ehh... not my most interesting InstaFriday, but I'm checking in anyway!  :)
