Summer, We’ll Miss You

I feel that Summer is coming to an end, and Fall will be here very soon. The all too hot weather has turned into mild sunny days, and rainy ones too. The bright green trees will soon turn their pretty Fall colors. We’ll miss the Summer fun, but I’m not sad, Fall is by far my favorite of all seasons.

This Summer was a really fun one filled with many activities, sunburns, ice cream, and days out in the warm sunshine.I thought it would be fun to share a few of our favorite Summer memories…

I loved taking my Mom and the boy’s  to see my Brother in K.C. It was such a fun trip, and I hope to make it up to see him again soon. I bet K.C. is just lovely in the Fall.

We had a fun trip to Grandma’s, and Thade loved riding the rides at the Kiddie Amusement Park.

We all enjoyed the local Summertime Festival, and the tasty Ice Cold Lemonade.

I really loved the big shady trees, and the pretty pink flowers that bloomed in our front yard.

I had so much fun working in the Garden, and harvesting a few crops here and there.

I’ll miss the pretty butterflies, and my darling toad Spencer who helped take care of the garden.

I’ll always remember the pretty Summer skies and the powerful Summer storms.

I’ll miss Summertime, but I can’t wait for Fall. I’m already looking forward to the Fall Festivals, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and of course all of the Football games. I think it is going to be a fantastic Fall.

I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Summer, and I hope that Fall is just as much fun.

New Shoes

With Fall on the way it was time for Dylan to get a new pair of shoes. I saved almost every pair of shoes that were Thade’s when he was little, but somehow they are either way too big for Dylan or for another season. Oh well, he’s gotta have them, so Dylan picked out Thomas the Train shoes.

Dylan loves his new shoes, and he wants to wear them all the time. I’ll put his new shoes on his little feet, and he’ll run around the house, yelling “go, go”. It makes me smile to see Dylan so excited about those little shoes.

Dang, now I want new shoes…

Oh Electrical Woes

After the party was over last night, we could smell an odd burning scent in the living room. No candles were lit, and then the lights went off. We had a little wiring problem with one of our outlets, we were lucky though, we caught it just in time.

So today we are having a few of our electrical woes fixed, and I hope that all will be better soon… It is getting a little warm in the house.

MOPS and Scary Movies

Last night the kiddos were off to bed, and I thought that I would call it an early night. My Hubby asked if I wanted to bring in my laptop and play a few games on Pogo. I said find a movie to watch and I’m there. We searched and searched for what to watch and we were going to watch the Darjeeling Limited (I heart Wes Anderson movies) , but I didn’t know if I was going to stay up that late to finish the whole movie. Then we spotted The Invasion starring Nicole Kidman, and we thought it looked like a pretty good (scary) movie to watch.

IT WAS SO SCARY, and I was up way too late getting the crap scared out of me. If you haven’t seen it, and you like creepy-scary-alien movies check this one out. You might watch this one in the middle of the day though, I’m still creeped out by this movie.

So I had quite a time getting to sleep and I was up past midnight. Thade woke up at 2:30 a.m., so I had to get him settled back down, and then Dylan was up bright and early at 6:30 a.m. I am so tired this afternoon.

This morning was Thade’s second day at Preschool, and his best friend was back, so he was thrilled. Dylan and I went to our first MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting and it was so much fun. Dylan made it almost an hour in the nursery, and I had a nice time getting to chat with other Moms, and enjoy a delicious breakfast. I plan on attending as many MOPS meetings that I can, and I volunteered to bring breakfast next time. The group is great and I can’t wait to attend all of the fun activities planned for the year. In October there will be a Sister-swap (free sale) of household goods and clothing, and even a Mom’s Day Out at the Spa in Spring! It is going to be fun!

I spotted a great yard sale on the way home that we might check out, but it looks like it is going to rain (again) so we might just be in today. Oh well, maybe we’ll check it out tomorrow.

What about you… Do you have a busy weekend planned? Or are you taking it easy and relaxing?

Checking out a MOPS meeting

Tomorrow while Thade is busy at Preschool Dylan and I will be going to our first MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting. I hope that the meeting will be fun, and I hope that Dylan has a great time getting to meet other toddlers. Our local group meets every First and Third Friday during the School year, and they even serve a tasty breakfast for the Mommies. I think it will be a fun outing for the little guy and me too.

Have you attended a MOPS meeting? Fill me in on all of the details…
