Update from the Week

This was a fun week and I've been bad about updating. I have some pictures from last weekend to post as well but I'll have to do that later. Wednesday morning, we went over to Bear Creek Park in Keller to walk, play and feed the ducks/geese. We had a very fun time playing at the park but I forgot my camera. Then we walked around and ended up at the creek feeding the ducks. That was really fun too. I have fond childhood memories of feeding the ducks at the fishing barge in Lewisville with my mom. I also remember how agressive they could get. These ducks had good manners but the geese were scary. I was talking to a man that fishes there about 3 times a week to feed the resident herons and he said there is one goose that charges. He scared them away for us. Turns out this interesting man has released a few trucker comedy CD's and gave us one with his autograph. His name is Ernie Shill. I really liked this park. The people were very friendly and we had a great time.
Thursday night we went to Karrie's house (bff since 7th grade) to visit. Her daughter Lacie works at Once Upon a Child in Flower Mound and so very kindly got Wyatt two Halloween costumes. One is a green monster from Gymboree - what a steal - and the other is an adorable Mickey Mouse costume. I'll take pictures of both and set up a survey for you to vote on. He prefers the Mickey costume as of now. The monster is thicker and goes over his head. He's not too crazy about it being on his head. The Mickey costume is missing a glove so I'll go on a hunt next week for a pair of "cartoon gloves". FUN FUN! I'm thinking I might just put him in the Mickey costume from 6pm - 7pm and the Monster from 7pm - 8pm. haha.
David came home from California yesterday and we had a nice family afternoon/evening. Everyone was tired but we did manage to go to Fresco's for our favorite Mexican food. It was a quick dinner though.
Today, David is off to Giddings (see pics from Labor Day) to Uncle Daniel and Aunt Nancy's ranch. The Martine family guys get together once a year for fun and fellowship at Uncle Daniel's house. Then they get together again in late November/ early December for the annual hunt at Uncle Tom's ranch outside of Marble Falls. David will be home tomorrow late morning/early afternoon so we'll have plenty of time to prepare for the Cowboy game - GO COWBOYS!!!
Today, Wyatt and I are headed over to Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Paul's house for lunch and visiting. Grampa and Dorris will be there too.
Have a great weekend!

It just feels like it's been so long!! How is the job hunt going? Or are you even looking?

We love to feed the ducks too. Abby got poop on her shoes and had to tell everyone about it for 2 or 3 days after feeding the ducks. That made more of an impact on her than anything! She thought the poop was so gross. She kept pointing to her shoe and saying "ewe".
