Ice Skating and other weekend ponders..

Well my heart broke slightly with the Ravens losing last night. Wait, my heart broke with them giving the game away. Ahh well, there's always next season. The good part is, we still have a few weeks left of football. I love football season, and am always sad to see it go. So here's to the playoffs then the Superbowl :)

Despite my accident prone week, I managed to survive ice skating today. Granted, I've never had any problem ice skating, but given my track record this week I had the helmet and bubble wrap ready ;)

All in all it was a great weekend of friends, family, food, fun, and football. It doesn't get much better than that!

My nephew and I skating :)

Happy Halloween!!

Today is one of our favorite days here at the Muir house. Scott LOVES Halloween, more than Christmas, I can't go that far ;) However he goes all out on this night and people really look forward to it.

I think what makes our house so unique is that he sets up a movie screen in the front yard and plays Halloween movies all night long. We don't play anything super scary, but some good classics and stuff that the kiddies in the neighborhood like.

Each year our best friends come over too, and partake in our tradition. This year on our Halloween menu is a lot of good stuff I think. I made crock pot chili, taco dip, sweet corn cake, 2 loaves of pumpkin bread, and we have apple cider (spiked) mulling as well. YUMMY! I can't wait to dive into the feast.

The food is ready, the movies are playing, the fog machine is doing it's thing. Now time to sit back, relax and enjoy one of our favorite days of Fall. Happy Halloween everyone!!

Adventure Weekend

I decided a few months ago that I wanted to surprise Scott with a mini weekend get-a-way. Well this weekend it actually took place, and over all I think it went really well...

We camped in treehouses, at a campground about an hour and a half away from home. Despite not being too far away, it sure felt like a different world. We spent the weekend relaxing by campfires, listening to music, eating great campfire food that someone, ahem, had all planned out ;)

Our first excursion on Saturday was that I had planned for us to go white water tubing. We've been white water rafting, but I thought it would be so cool to do an unguided tour in a tube. I loved it!! It was a lot of work, don't get me wrong and my every muscle feels it today, but it was totally worth it :)

Today as we packed up and headed home from the woods, we decided to go hiking on a part of the Appalachian trail. We did a few miles in the lush forest, and saw some gorgeous sites.

I think my lungs are happier this weekend too. I started the Prednisone, am opening up and enjoyed the mountain air. I definitely don't think their is an infection brewing that needs to get out, it's officially either Tobi, or just our awful air quality and humidity lately. Not sure which it is yet...I'm just happy I was able to be super active this weekend, and play hard.
