Foosball and 10-year-old Tornados

The weekend started off with some yummy Papa's and Beer, Big Beers and Foosball! Marcus was brave enough to be the lone male on a "Dawn, Libby & LeeAnn" outing, but he survived nicely (and even drove me home at the end of it :)). We had our first sample of this season's Cold Mountain Brew from Highland..it was tasty! With loving and longing thoughts of Phoebe we also forced ourselves to play a few games of foosball...as you can see,

it's just too hard to manage without her!

We spent Saturday hanging around the house...Marcus took the opportunity to hike and mark the boundaries again and I sewed a tree skirt (recycled rehearsal dinner table clothes)...

we're regular riots sometimes!!

We picked the boys up and made the mistake of hitting Sam's and Ingle's...apparently the Saturday before Thanksgiving is not too early for the whole world to go grocery shopping. We headed out to Sue and Al's for dinner and some friendly competition between DeAndre and Al (poor Za just gets caught up in the mix...he's too nice for competition). They started with a game of Blockhead and then moved to a Dance Off...they would have made LeeAnn proud. I have to say that De won Blockhead and Za won the Dance Off...

but Al's a good sport :).

Back at home, the boys were allowed to stay up as late as they want and wake up whenever they wanted...a first around our house. Armed with Strawberry soda and cinnamon jumbos (Sue's famous cookies) they proceeded to stay up until 2am destroying our living room (if you asked them, they were just playing wii). Sunday brought a day of house cleaning, more wii for the boys and chili with Sue, Al and the new neighbors...who have "rescued" our dogs twice before even moving in! Monday has rolled around a little too quickly, as usual, but we're excited about Thanksgiving in Knoxville with Mike, Jenny, their boys and my folks...then Christmas Tree decorating at home and TG II on Saturday with Sue and Al and my folks again!

Hope you all have a good one...
