Scarecrow Festival

We had a pretty low-key weekend. And it started early - Xander and I both took the day off on Friday so that he could see the doctor. (He has a sinus infection.). Since we were already out in town, which is an hour drive for us, we did the grocery shopping too. Gotta save that gas where we can!

The Scarecrow Fest in Stamford was supposed to be Saturday, but they worried about rain (it didn't) so they switched it to Sunday (it rained that day instead). Saturday we make a quick run to the library and the dollar store so Xander could pick out more Halloween decorations for our house. He had a great time decorating, and then needed to take half of them down at bedtime because they were too scary.

Sunday Xander and I hit the Scarecrow Fest. It's a pretty small deal, mostly craft vendors and a scarecrow judging contest. We rode the hay wagon, Xander painted a pumpkin and got a knight shield painted on his arm. I bought some books at the library sale. The only downer was that the Firehouse was selling chicken halves, and when we went to buy some to bring home they were already sold out. Boo hoo!

It was an especially nice day for Xander, though, because he got to see some of his old daycare buddies. And most especially his pal Brandon, who he has been missing like crazy. Plus I got to hang out with my boy for a couple of fun hours before the skies opened and everyone got drenched. :)
