A Little of this and that..

Holy cow!  It's the end of August already!  I honestly can't believe how fast time is flying by.  Somehow, summer ended and I now have a 2nd grader!!  Noah is loving school and I am so happy about that. His wonderful teacher from last year moved up and took his whole 1st grade class with her.  I am class mom...AGAIN...with 3 other moms.  One of the mom's and I have actually become good friends and we like to take our boys to the skate park a lot in the afternoons. 

Noah starts lacrosse and soccer this week.  This should be an interesting semester doing both sports.  He opted out of boy scouts this year and I am glad he decided on his own because it conflicts with lacrosse and I would have hated for him to have to chose between 2 that he really wanted to do.  I think just getting to each practice a week and 2 games on Saturdays is going to keep us very busy!  Not to mention no one stepped up for team mom for lacrosse so I agreed to it (yikes). 

ABD's birthday was this month and I went and put some balloons and flowers on his grave.  I miss him a lot.  It has been a really hard year for me grieving his loss. 

I never thought i would say this but i have really been enjoying taking Chewy to the dog park every morning.  It is usually the same people every day and I enjoy talking with them while the dogs wear each other out! 

I am really looking forward to the last 13 episodes of FRINGE.  I have been with this show since day one and I really want to know how it is going to end.  I am equally excited about the show Revolution starting this fall.  I have to say, JJ Abrams does a great job producing shows that make you think about things.  I used to really get into trashy shows like Party of Five, Dawson's Creek, 90210, etc. and when i look back now and watch a rerun of one of them, I honestly can't believe I watched such trash!  And i was so addicted to them!  Thank goodness there are actually good shows out there!  I also love the show White Collar!  The relationship between Peter and his wife, Elizabeth, give me hope that Hollywood DOES believe marriages can last! 

Although i am not at all ready for the expense of Christmas, I am ready for everything fall has to offer:  the cooler weather, the changing leaves, the pumpkin carving, the cooler weather, chili in the crock pot, corn mazes, the cooler weather, apple cider, hay rides, cooler weather, a long break from school, pumpkin scented candles, fires in the fireplace, fires in the outside fire pit, and did i mention cooler weather? 

what's going on in your world?
