Well another weekend has come and gone for Brandon and Erin. Isn't it funny how people (including Brandon/Erin) want the week to fly by for 2 days of freedom (weekend) but at the same time we desire for life to slow down so we don't grow old so fast. Just a random thought from Brandon.
Anyway, back to the weekend. Brandon and Erin had a fairly busy weekend. Thursday night the garage door broke which meant "garage door fix time" had to be planned. Brandon got home Friday after work and picked up C-Dawg (aka Chad Bates) to go and pick up the old refrigerator from their old house. Yes that is right, The Paynes have a contract on their old house (FINGERS CROSSED STILL THAT THE LOAN GOES THROUGH). As Chad and Brandon got the frig, a tornado came. Not really but the sky was black and the wind was sideways and all the tornado alarms were going off but they grudged on.
After completition of that task it was off to Papa Dubis to eat with C-Dawg and Momma Kat (Kathy Bates). After dinner it was off to Lowes to get pumpkins for the BASH. However, note to self, Lowes pumpkins are rotten, so they headed off to Wal Mart.
Upon arrival at home, Brandon tried to fix the garage door. He was unsuccessful and has lost all patience with the house after 1.5 months of non-stop upgrades that he just YELLS at the slightest mishap now. So after some yelling, he called down to the Payne farm to schedule The Pokester (aka Pokey Payne) to come the next morning to help.
Sat morning arrived and Brandon arose at 6:00 am to start hanging the newly painted shudders. He then moved to putting up the lattice around the porch. Then the Pokester arrived and after 1.5 hours of work, the garage door was finally fixed. Just in time for the Auburn game. After the first half of the Auburn game, Brandon quickly started doing some laundry and painting another door. Auburn came back on and started playing better and so Brandon kept trying to find some more chores today to help bring Auburn some luck. Evidently he didn't find enough chores to do because Auburn got beat.
Brandon pouted for awhile and then went off to decorate for the Pumpkin Bash. Now, where has Erin been this whole time: 8:00-8:30 am haircut, 10:00-2:00pm bridal brunch for Adrian, 3:30-5:30 wedding.
So party started at 6:00 and then it was hot dog/soup/chips/dip/candy galore. Brandon and Erin were the clear favorites to win the pumpkin carving contest UNTIL Natalie and Tom showed up with their pumpkin and their secret box. Yes that is right, Tom and Natalie won for the 2nd year in a row. Brandon and Erin would have taken 2nd place home if Brandon wouldn't have slipped cutting and made the phrase "Trick or Treat" turn into "Trick or Trot". So Haley and Josh took 2nd place. Pics will be added soon.
Sunday arrived and Brandon found himself on the farm helping fix a fence after church while Erin ran off to culman with her family to eat at Ruby Tuesday. After Sunday night church, Rowan's crib was put together. Brandon is a little upset about the crib because Target didn't give any hole covers to cover up the screw holes. But it came from Target so it not a fine piece of china. But since Rowan will rather have some extra cash to take the girls out with than to have a pimped out crib with hole covers, Brandon decided the target crib would be just fine. Secondy, Rowan knows no girls can see his crib until he is 10 anyway.

I try to spread the blog comment love around.
