10/19/2003 Archived Entry: "sunday stuff"

We went to the a Pumpkin Festival yesterday. It was much bigger than I thought and we had so much fun. It was hosted by one the close universities that has a large agriculture department. Tabitha was just thrilled to finally be able to pick out a BIG pumpkin. We took her to the middle of the pumpkin field in her wagon and let her find just the right one. We had left our gardening shears at home, but thankfully they had a lot that were cut off the vine already. After she picked out her pumpkin, we went to the festival part. It was traditional festival stuff, a bounce house, face painting, balloon animals, etc. It was a lot of fun, even if it was 90 degrees.

Today, Tabitha and I went with my mom out to my grandmother and grandpa's house. We had a nice visit with them and a very good lunch. Tabitha kept commenting on how "tasty" the mashed potatoes were :) We also took a quick trip to their local mall and came away with 4 new books for Tabitha, courtesy of my mom.

I initially was going to start up a small blog to keep track of our savings for Disney World, but I've scrapped that idea. I don't think it would be very interesting. So, I'm going to just post our progress on the sidebar under our countdown. It's still the same info right now, because we haven't taken our deposit to the bank this week. Also, we can't recycle because all our recycling centers are at the grocery stores that are on strike. I'm not going to cross a picket line just to redeem my $2.30. I'm learning an awful lot about Disney World in the meantime and tyring to plan all we want to do. It's the current focus of my obsessions.
