Today was the last rest day before our home duathlon tomorrow! We decided to have a bagel today since we wouldn’t be tomorrow. Off to Panera by car.
I actually have 2 days off. I took Sunday off from job 1, so I actually have a whole weekend!
We hit the grocery store (making it really feel like Sunday) and stocked up on some favorites for lunch!
Yogurt berry mash:
Without a bike ride today, we were free to explore whatever. Stopped at a fall festival at a farm and tack shop.
$5 pumpkins! They were enormous, so we bought a couple for carving.
Cuteness overload with some baby alpacas:
I wanted to hug both of them!
I asked John if he wanted to start an alpaca farm, but he said no.
We decided to head to the lake to get some coffee and do a little carb loading. 
Pretty church off the main drag:
Stopped for a latte:
plus a maple cinnamon roll:
Then we stopped at one of those giant Halloween superstores. It was almost like going to a haunted house for free!
And who doesn’t need some of this on hand?
Boo!
You could drop a mint decorating for Halloween!
Home for dinner. Baked buffalo shrimp with brussels:
Nice relaxing day just doing stuff. Don’t you like days like that? Going to get all my stuff ready for tomorrow’s ‘race.’ John and I decided to go ahead and go full out. He will probably finish before I do, as he has the running speed. I don’t think I can catch him during the bike ride. I am actually going to wear my bib number from last year’s duathlon!
Snack time:
And some DVD watching of the Simpsons Treehouse of Terror to get in the Halloween mood!
Pink item of the day! This is a bath fizzie shaped like a cupcake:
The baby alpacas are adorable!!! Love seeing baby animals like that.
Oh, and the Halloween decorating is insane! You are SO right – it would be easy to blow a bundle of cash on it…glad my kids are grown or I’d probably have an inflatable something on my lawn, lol!
Good luck on the “race” tomorrow – love that you and John are going all out!

My halloween decorating consisted of GROWING pumpkins, and making a sign for our front window. That’s it. Oh, and I’ll be baking gluten-free cupcakes and decorating them with orange-colored vanilla frosting (for my Kid). Fun!
Good luck tomorrow. I’ll be thinking about you. You’ll be great! Vee at http://veegettinghealthy.blogspot.com

What a great Saturday. Love it how much decorations you can buy for Halloween. We don’t celebrate that here.
About our garage: this is a normal size for a garage here. We don’t drive those big cars as some Americans do 🙂 We actually have two garages, the other one he restores old motorbikes in.
About the Angel perfume: if you look close you see it at the front. I have it and I love it too.
Looks like you had a really nice, relaxing, stress-free day. I love those kind of days! Specially during the fall because the weather is just so amazing. Best of luck on your race 😀
