This week we got to enjoy some wonderful time together as a family. The weather cooled down to a nice early fall temperature for the weekend.
Our week, Monday-Thursdays, involve normal life things. Things like laundry and cleaning, maybe a visit to a park, and school/work for Mr. Wonderful and online class work for me.
But our weekends we try to do something fun. Mr. Z and I have joined up with a local chapter of MOMS Club. They have weekly park play dates and field trips occasionally. This week, we were able to go to the TAMU Children’s Barn. They had a tractor, horses, a cow, a pig, goats and sheep. Mr. Z could have cared less about those. Actually, he told me, “I like Trevor’s barn better.” When I asked why, his response cracked me up, “Trevor’s barn doesn’t have dirt and I can drive the tractor. And his cows are black.”
His favorite part was the baby chicks. It took him some time to warm up to petting one. When it was time to go, he didn’t want to leave the chicks.
After the barn Mr. Wonderful decided that the weather was too nice, so he came home early. We took out bikes out to check them after sitting and our move. My bike had not fared well. The casings for the shift cables had busted. So we went to a bike store and purchased all new cables and casings. Instead of biking that evening, we took a walk around a local park.
Afterwards, we came home and I started dinner, which was also recipe testing, and Mr. Wonderful worked on replacing all the cables on my bike. Recipe testing turned out to be a giant failure, and I was hangry and stormed off to bed. Thank goodness for Mr. Wonderful and his creative cooking skills, so no one actually went to bed hungry.
Saturday, we were able to go on our bike ride finally. We took off to explore the A&M campus.
We went to the giant Aggie Ring, and Mr. Z wasn’t that impressed with it.
We also visited a couple of fountains and the Century Tree. We are enjoying our new home, especially now that the weather isn’t triple digits with high humidity.
