News crews.... just another day!

Remember that house I was telling you about that I bought last year?! Well, what I did not share with you is that this particular house sits right on the outskirts of the historic district, meaning less than a stones throw away from us are some super nice older homes (not super nice as in millions of dollars but super nice as in really well taken care of older homes! like 1910's old). My quiet little neighborhood had some local media coverage early last week! See for yourself.....Crane hits Home. 

You cannot really tell from my front porch at 2 a.m. what is going on, but if you click the link above you can see what happened in the daylight.  Thankfully no one was hurt!! But the house... well the house is .... well a hot mess! I did have an inner debate as to whether I should run across the street and give them my business card though -- been in the legal field WAY too long, I think!

After the excitement of them having to bring in two more cranes to get this 50 ton crane off our poor neighbors house we tried to figure out what to do with the rest of our week!

I do so love to play fat kid like nobody's business so we intended to travel north to Raleigh for the State Fair on Saturday. Nicholas could not wait to try the Krispy Kreme Burger... oh yes, you heard me the Krispy Kreme burger! I told him that if he ate this thing that he would immediately be put on the master cleanse before he did irreparable damage to the ticker!

It doesn't even look the slightest bit appetizing to me.... ugh! NO THANK YOU!

So instead we went to the Country Corn Maze, here Nicholas though he would partake in some deep fried Snickers! But alas! God was watching out for Nicholas' heart that day and the stand was closed!!!

For those who have never been (which was me on Saturday!) you pull up in the sketchy looking lot and get on a tractor pulling a hay cart and benches and they take you around to this wonderland of corn! We decided to forego the corn and pumpkin launchers and head straight for the maze. Being the smart cookies we are we chose to the movies/tv trivia and only got lost one time in the maze and made it out in about 46 minutes, wooo hooo us!Later that evening our big town of G-town had a downtown festival complete with actual fireworks... it was a nice night to sit out on the patio of Tequila's and partake in a fishbowl or two!

Who knew we could afford fireworks?!!

Then onto to Sunday.... the Renaissance Festival! Now, I've never been to the Renaissance festival before -- it was ... different! Had way too many beers saw some crazy acrobatics and spent WAY too much money. But we did meet Ingrid and Joe halfway through so we had a good time!

Stay tuned... the girls are super excited about Halloween this weekend!
