Friday Fences

Randoms:

1) Yesterday our high school was on lockdown for a few hours because of a bomb threat. FBI even came out and searched the school and all the kids backpacks. I normally leave school at 1:30 but we all ended up having to stay till after 3 so I checked Christian out and we came home. It was a long day...you can read more HERE

2) On my way to pick up Christian from work last night I was listening to Oprah radio on Sirius and they were talking about the new lead singer for Journey, Arnel Pineda. He was raised in a house with little money then his mom died when he was only 13 and he ended up homeless...you can read the rest HERE...needless to say I was crying by the time I got to Kroger lol

3) Also on the way to pick up Christian last night, I saw a big, beautiful buck running in the grass at the elementary school. He was running back and forth under the light. He'd stop, then run a few steps the other way, then stop....hope he survives hunting season :( .....I saw this neat video the other day:

I got a deer..I wait a second

4) I'm getting a cold. My nose is stuffy and my throat hurts. I'm drinking Airborne and should be feeling better soon!

5) Tonight is the last high school football game. So far they are undefeated. Fingers crossed! It's going to be COLD out there tonight in the bleachers!

Random 5 Friday

Have a great weekend!

Signs, Signs - Moon Fish @ Kroger

(click on photo to enlarge)

A few weeks ago when we were headed off to Mountain Lake Lodge for the day, we stopped here at Kroger in Daleville so Nick could run in and get some money from the ATM machine. While the boys and I waited in the car, I noticed Moon Fish on sale. I was thinking "hmmm, $19.99 a lb doesn't sound like that much of a sale...." but I don't think I've ever eaten Moon Fish before so maybe it is so delicious that it commands $19.99 per lb. Or maybe, it is hard to catch and therefore they charge $19.99 a lb, on sale! Well, whatever...I liked the colorful sign!

And here's my cute boys while we are waiting:

....gosh I love those 2! For some of you that don't know, those are my babies! Identical twin boys: Braden on the left and Dalton on the right. Their big brother Christian works inside that Kroger. In fact, he was there working and that is why he didn't go with us to the Lodge...sigh...

Also, notice how foggy it is here? Well that fog stayed for pretty much most of the day...see my other foggy Lodge photos HERE!

Rurality Wednesday - Piggies @ Booker T Washington

These little piggies were so cute and curious. They ran around their maze-like pen and even wanted to play ball. They made us laugh with their piggie antics :)

On Sunday we went to Smith Mountain Lake's Chili Cookoff. It was such a pretty day so afterwards, we picked up some sandwiches to eat a late lunch @ The Booker T Washington Park. This is one of my favorite places to visit...it's so pretty and peaceful...

November Theme Day - Heights & Randoms

(click on photo to enlarge)

At last month's Go Outside Fest in Roanoke. The boys wanted to go on this but you had to be 12 and they are only 11. I did though hear that someone broke their arm on this the day before we went. I can see how that could happen if you land wrong.

See more takes on the theme by visiting City Daily Photo and have a great weekend!

Now on to some randomness:

1) Great night trick or treating last night. The weather was perfect! Didn't even need a jacket. I just wore a light sweater and the boys weren't cold in their thin morphsuits!

2) This morning though it is windy as all get out, and sprinkling, and WARM again!

3) No plans at all this weekend. That makes me happy! Last two weekends were crazy busy!

4) I bought The Conjuring on Vudu yesterday...can't wait to watch it!

5) Ozzy really digs these fall days!
