Weekend Time

We were able to have a nice and relaxing weekend, with great fall weather. Friday night we caught up on some DVR (the Ringer is a GREAT new show FYI) and enjoyed a little Mexican for dinner. Saturday, Emma and I made a quick trip to the fabric store to get things to make her a dress. It turned out really well, except I made the armpits too small-whoops! Luckily, Mom said it is a pretty easy fix so I'll show pictures once it is finished. I had a bunch of Redskins fabric leftover, so I started making a burp cloth for Luke. Matt liked it too much and decided to keep it as a golf towel. I thought it would be cute to make a dress, to match Emma's skirt, for her Bitty Baby Maddie. She LOVED it when I showed her the final product. Saturday night, Matt grilled up some steaks and huge baked potatoes! Fall is all about the pumpkin-especially pumpkin beer. We were at the store, getting things for dinner and wanted to get our first pumpkin beer of the season. There was a nice little selection at Harris Teeter and we were having a tough time trying to narrow down our selection. Matt ended up getting three different types and we decided to have a little tasting at home. The three we picked were-Shipyard, Ichabod, and Blue Moon. Shipyard was the winner, hands down. It has a great pumpkin taste and a hint of cinnamon as well. Ichabod was the most expensive and the least favorite. We plan on taking a trip to Total Wine to pick up a few more variety's to try. Sundays in our house are all about football-especially since Matt now has the NFL Ticket. Of course I had to snap some family pictures of everyone decked out in our attire. I had to run to the grocery store (it is pretty small and all the ladies who work there recognize us) with Emma and Luke; and every lady working immediately said something similar to "Look at them in all their Redskins"and thought Emma was the cutest thing in her little outfit. It was so funny and they were all just eating it up!
