House Projects
Kyle's dad came in town one weekend and they stained the deck and built our gorgeous Restoration Hardware inspired farmhouse dining table. The deck took FOREVER. It must be noted that the deck now looks awesome! Can I also say how awesome my father-in-law is? He's awesome.
MU Football Games
October 3rd, the Tigers took on South Carolina! Kyle was in Singapore so my dad came to Columbia to go to the game with me! We tailgated with my Aunt Jan, Uncle Steve, and Nicole. After we stopped at Shakespeare's for pizza along with the rest of Mizzou's fans.
MU Homecoming
So.Much.Fun.
Friday, October 9th, we left for Columbia after work. The stupid bridge on I-70 was still under construction so we sat in traffic for what seemed like ages. Traffic is always worse when you have somewhere fun to be. We had plans to pick up Sophie and Ava and take them to House Dec's in Greek Town. We finally got to Columbia and had a blast walking the girls around to look at the House Dec's. I'm so sad they don't pomp them anymore. We reminisced about our Good Ole Days as sorority/fraternity members and the hours and hours of pomping we had to do.
Saturday we slept in at Heather's and got food ready for our tailgate. We parked a Phi Psi after paying a s*** ton and had time to go see the Miller's and Seever's at their tailgates. The Chi O's were all in town and we had one heck of a reunion tailgate! We went all out and I think everyone had a blast! That night we were supposed to stay at Heather's house again but must have had a miscommunication because the house was all locked up when we finally got there after the game. We had to break in!
Sunday we met Becca and Matt for breakfast at Bread Co (NEVER Panera!) before heading back to KC.
Kyle's Birthday Weekend
The weekend of October 16-18th was deemed KYLE'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND (by me). We had fancy schmancy dinner reservations at Marina Grog and Galley, but ended up canceling them for something more "us" that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Waldo Pizza! Still awesome food, great atmosphere and fun. We met Adam and Abby at the Peanut afterwards to watch the Royals game.
Saturday I made Caramel Bubble Loaf for Kyle's Birthday Breakfast. I didn't ruin it either! I'm the worst baker in history, but I'm glad this one worked out! We had Google Fiber fixed that morning and then headed out to meet friends at Joe's for Lunch. Then we had plans to check out Top Golf. That place is seriously amazing. They have a top notch facility and are a Golf Lover's dream hang-out! Abby, Adam, Ryan, and Laura met us there. We played for an hour and a half before the girls headed out to go shopping! I never get over to Nordstrom Rack, so we went there since it was so close. We met the guys back at the OC's for dinner, the Royals Game, and the Mizzou Game. It was such a fun day!
Sunday we went to church and then ran errands before heading home to do normal Sunday activities.
Pancake Breakfast Weekend / The Weekend we Finished ALL THE HOUSE PROJECTS!
I'm not sure where to even begin? This weekend could probably be characterized by saying we lived at Lowe's. Friday night we tried out Konrad's in downtown LS. YUM! That place had my heart at pretzels and spinach dip. We will definitely be going back! We watched the Royal's game and headed to bed early.
Saturday we were up at 8am for the HOA Pancake Breakfast. It was freezing, but we still had a decent turn out! We spent the rest of the day (and Sunday) hanging new lighting fixtures, pictures, and putting together new chairs for the dining room. Our house looks complete! It only took 3+ years!
HALLOWEEN WEEKEND
Friday we had our "Fall Party" (Halloween Party) at school. My parents drove up and got there in time to attend! My Grandma came with them and I think she was overwhelmed by the kids! 50 crazies in costume can be a bit much. However, it was one of the calmest class parties I've had. Win! That night we headed to Jack Stack for dinner at the new location. It is fan-cy! Kyle left early Saturday morning for India so we got him all packed up, but didn't stay up too late.
Saturday morning I convinced my mom to go to Bootcamp with me. It's my favorite class all week! She hung in there and really enjoyed it too! After lunch we showered and all headed out to shop. I am so disappointed in DSW. They have a huge selection, but they are so overpriced if you ask me. I'm on the hunt for some decently priced new winter shoes. Specifically I'd love some booties and new brown boots. We found a few things at Loft and then dropped my dad and Grandma at the house before heading back out. We finally got lucky at White House Black Market. I loved pretty much the whole store, but can't justify that nice of clothes when I'm on the floor all the time with kids at work. My favorite part of the day was when TRICK OR TREATING started! My friend Amanda came by with Kristen and their sweet kiddo's to kick off the evening. We had Chili and watched the Royal's game before heading outside to pass out candy. I think we had over 230 kids come by. Um, Crazy! I love our neighborhood!
Sunday my family left bright and early and I spent the day reading Killing Patton and looking at everyone's pictures on facebook. Awesome weekend, but missed my husband something fierce.
