Manic Monday!

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend and can I just say how GORGEOUS it is outside today?!?!  I am loving this weather!  It makes me so excited for fall…I got my first pumpkin spice latte of the season last week and it was delicious!  I cant wait to break out the fall boots and clothes!!  I can hardly wait to see what is in store for this season and all the wonderful things we will get to do as a family!  Last week I shared some of our annual traditions we do during the fall…I would LOVE to hear some of yours!  What family traditions do you have planned?  🙂

I will share a little bit of our weekend with you…Friday we didnt do much at all….we had our normal “Friday night pizza on the couch and watch TV” evening and Saturday I was gone all day for a wedding!  It was a beautiful day up until the reception.  Massive gusts of wind came through the tent(it was an outdoor reception) and everything under the tent went flying everywhere!   It was a  little scary…I wasnt sure if the tent would hold up…and they even had plans to cancel the reception if it got too dangerous with the storm.  Thankfully, things calmed down a bit and we were able to finish out the evening!  And, I learned a big lesson that day…..ALWAYS wear shorts under your dress…no. matter. what.  Lets just say a little *too* much skin got shone….Im glad I(and a few others) were able to laugh it off.  But let me tell you, it will never happen again haha!  Sunday I had brunch with a friend and it was so much fun!  I havent been out during the day with just myself in SO long!  It felt nice to get out for the afternoon and not have any responsibilities!

Tomorrow I am sending my baby off to preschool for the first time.  I will tell you the truth…I am not ready for it!  I wish I could keep him all to myself and spend our days snuggling and reading books like we always do.  But, the sad thing is, he is growing up and there is nothing I can do to stop it.  I know he is very excited to start preschool, especially since his best friend is in his class…but I am not quite ready to let go.  Tomorrow will be tough for me….but I guess that is just life.  And on a happier note, he starts soccer tomorrow, and we are all excited about that!  Jay is going to be the coach this season, so we all have our hands full!

OK onto the goals!
