Williamsville Fall Festival

Today we headed up to the boulevard for the Williamsville Fall Festival.  We figured we would head up there in the morning before it got to warm, and four hours later we left!!  The kids had a blast and other than buying lunch we didn't spend a dime.  Oh yeah, Mommy bought a new fall wreathe too!!!  We saw fire trucks, petted several animals, got faces painted, jumped in the bounce houses, painted pumpkins, made sand art, visited with lots of people, and walked through the Box Car Museum.

We had a great day, but decided to head home when Amelia said she was tired.  After her nap she woke up with a fever and clearly didn't feel well.  Fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

Bullets vs North Mac

Seth is always so nervous on the sidelines during the game.

Alex and Connor White.  He was so excited to see him.
He said 'Mom I thought he got graduated?'
He did, but came to support the Bullets!

Alex and Jacob Lounsberry
This is Alex's favorite player this year, and man is he good.

Tonight we headed to Virden to play the North Mac Panthers in our first road game.  As soon as we arrived Alex asked why we had white uniforms on instead of purple.  He's asking a lot more questions this year and good ones too.  We handily beat the Panthers: 52-20.

You can't get much cuter than this!!!

Fresh from the Garden

 

The kids were so excited to pick vegetables from our garden.  Our tomatoes have done well, but we've only managed to get the two cucumbers and the two zucchinis pictured here just last night.  The kids were so excited that they Skyped with both sets of grandparents to share the news. 

 

Today they invited Miss Lisa from daycare over for dinner because they knew I was going to use all the fresh vegetables tonight.  We had baked chicken, fried zucchini, sautéed tomatoes, onions, and garlic, and cucumbers with salad dressing!  A feast fit for a king!!

Helping Daddy

 

 

 

Daddy did a little manual labor on Labor Day!  The kids rode with Daddy on the mower, and Alex helped weed eat and blow leaves.  I took pictures and relaxed from the porch swing.  Yep, a pretty lazy day around here and I love it!!!

Good Bye Summer

It's Labor Day Weekend, the unofficial end of summer.  Wow, this summer has flown by!!  There's no better way to end the summer than a dip in the pool.  Aunt Amy and Uncle Thomas bought this house just in the nick of time!  Great Grandma Meehan came to see the new house and we had lunch. 

Then we spent the entire day and well into the evening swimming and playing!!!  We also hung out with Surratt's and Aunt Amy's sister Ellie and her daughter Addison.
