First Saturday of November

We woke up to a fairly cool morning today and it was such a nice indicator that fall is here, even though the temps don't always show it in the afternoons.

Clay was asked to sit on an OA council meeting for the region today and so after Ron dropped him off, we took Ben to his first soccer game in several weeks. (He's been out because of us being sick and when we went to practice last night it was cancelled --- the field was being used to detonate a Civil War cannonball found in a neighborhood down the street from where we live!) The game was fun, he won and made a couple of really good passes.

After the game we went to lunch at a terrible, horrible new restaurant out near our house called Qdoba's. I'll suffice it to say that it was so bad, I can't even describe it. And we decided to head towards the Harbison area after eating. This turned out to be a whole lot more fun than we had anticipated.

Our first stop was Columbiana Mall where we checked out what stores the mall has and stopped at Build-A-Bear for Ben to add a new "baby" to his collection. Ths time a sweet, soft puppy that Ben named "Cocky Spur". From the mall we headed over to Toys R Us because Ben spotted Darth Vader outside the door. As it turned out DV was there with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, a slew of Stormtroopers, R2D2, a wookie (?) and Geoffrey the Giraffe. After all this the boys humored me by stopping at High Cotton's Christmas Open House before we headed to Cayce to pick up Clay.
