Day five of my week off... today we shopped a bit trying to spot some Halloween goodies in the wild.  Didn't buy much, but I did manage to sneak in purchasing two items for Avery's birthday.  I would have maybe pressed to get back and to the pool if it weren't for the spotty showers and grumbling skies.  We did get some successful time out back, Avery on her swing set and I in the hot tub.

I'm so glad I still have a weekend to enjoy before returning to my desk.  I really needed this step away.  It has been delightful.  I feel like I had a successful staycation.
