It's FINALLY here...

fall!!!!!!!! The weather is absolutely WONDERFUL outside!! I even wore my UGGs to school today!! Not only is fall weather here, but Fall Break as well! My Peeps have all headed south to visit the Mouse. I must confess I am a little green with envy but I must also admit that I am looking forward to just having down time. I am going to scrapbook... I am going to enjoy a cup of coffee in the am without having to rush out the door... I am going to workout and do Zumba. I am going to find an AWESOME book to read while I am drinking my coffee.... I know, there are a whole lot of I's in there. But I am also going to enjoy time with my boys. Although number 1 son is taking off tomorrow to go watch some friends in a soccer tournament. But that leaves quality time with Number 2 son. And of course there is LOTS of good football to watch. I am making Red Velvet cupcakes and Red Beans and rice in honor of Homecoming for my alma mater, UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA!!! ROLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIDE!!!

And in one week my best friend and I will be celebrating our 17th Anniversary. We have a Halloween party to go to that night and we have a GREAT costume planned!!

So, HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!

Whoop, Whoop!!

State High School swim meet.... Here we come! Number 1 son made two cuts tonight, 200IM and the 100 Back!! Sorry no pics but I was a timer and could not take pics too!!

Night all, feeling a little run down so I am going to bed to keep the "piggies" from invading our house!

Do you ever just get in a FUNK??!! And you can't seem to shake it??

Well, that is what RETAIL THERAPY is for {or lunch with the girls, but since it was way past lunch time I opted for a little LD phone call with one of my "Besties" from back home}. I dropped the boys at swim practice with all good intentions to just "run" into Hobby Lobby and look at the Halloweenie stuff and grab some ribbon and head out... OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, NOOOOOOOO!! One trip to TJMAX and Hobby Lobby and 2 hours later I about missed Zumba!! In fact, went back to pick up Number 2 son from practice but he had already started his homework so he told me to go on. {You don't have to tell me twice!}

Came home fed the kiddos {gotta love the crock pot and microwave} and busted out my treats!! I made a CUTE Halloween tree from a little silver tabletop tree I bought at MAJOR clearance after Christmas last year!! Oh my!! I love it!! Kinda helps to get me out of my FUNK I have been in lately!!

Cannot find my camera cord to download the pics {actually I think I know where it is but I am too tired and too lazy to go look for it!} So hopefully sometime in the next day or two or three I will post some cute Halloween pics!! I am FIRED up about Halloween this year. My Number 1 son has a very uncanny resemblance to Heath Ledger so he had decided to dress as the JOKER!! I have already gotten his costume except for the shoes!!

What do y'all think?

I think we can pull if off!!

A GOOD Blogger...

wouldn't leave you hanging for soooo long. But I am not claiming to be a "good" blogger. Life is just busy and when a free moment does come blogging is not my first choice of activities.

All is good here though. Although if you had asked me that last Tuesday you would have gotten an earful!! I'm cooled off now but still not the happiest of campers.

The boys are well into Mulan right now. The play is less than a month away so rehearsals are really kicking in right now. Add swimming High School and Year Round and that makes for quite a busy afternoon!! We love when the weekends finally roll around and we can have SOME down time!

This weekend was busy with rehearsal and swim meet. The boys swam really, really well! Number 1 son made 2 cuts for Southeastern's. And number 2 son dropped all of his times.

Yesterday we enjoyed a very lazy family day {after rehearsal and ZUMBA of course!} It really was PERFECT!!!!! Then I met some friends down at the GRAND to take Homecoming Pictures. They were all so cute!! Oh for THOSE days again!!

I have taken bunches of pics but am too lazy to download all of them. Will try to download and post some this week!

Until then... hope fall has hit where you are. It has finally cooled down somewhat here! Still wearin' my flipflops!! I never tire of those!!!
