mount wormley: sarcoidosis sucks!

my hubs has this odd disease called sarcoidosis (google it if you want the gory details). it really started to affect our lives last october when we made a trip to the hospital. i will spare you the details and skip to what it all means for us... the hubs went from being a non-stop do everything kinda guy to one who really REALLY has to take is slow. as he says...he got old. last saturday he overdid it. it happens almost every weekend and takes him anywhere from 3-5 days to recover. he had planned to be out of the house on sunday and the girls and i were kinda looking forward to it. he woke up sunday not feeling well and decided to stay home. so i took the girls and we left.

first stop was goodwill. we dropped off a carload and then browsed the halloween costumes and other exciting stuff. i love goodwill. i turned around and saw this...

i spawned an extensive hat-trying-on-session...including the tinsel wig by shorty..

we had a great time trying on hats and i was reminded of all the times my mom and i tried on the fancy hats at nordstrom when i was a kid....ah, memory lane.

we then went across the street to lowes where we had a few things to pick up. we browsed the clearance area and the half-dead plants, but found nothing terribly exciting. i did almost pick up a pair of parsons chairs that were 75% off, but had nowhere that i needed them so i passed. we bough saw blades, some masonry hooks and some hardware for our ongoing chicken coop project (more to come on that in a later post). sorry, no pics at lowes.

we then went down the block to mcdonalds for lunch. not our favorite, but it did in a pinch. the girls actually ate fairly quickly for them and were able to play for a few minutes. that is always the bribe to get them to eat. no pics at lunch either...tho i usually take pics of them in the play area.

we then walked across the parking lot to ben franklin crafts. i was looking for some fall decorations or some inspiring craft or something. i wanted a crow, for some reason too. i got a crow (cheaper than the one i carried around at goodwill for a bit) and we bought the materials to make some pom pom spiders sorta like these ones...
