Hello, Fall!

I woke up this morning, hooked Hurley up to his leash, and opened the door. A blast of cool hair whipped across my face. I had to smile, it was finally cooling off!

Over the weekend, I went to the fair and got sweaty just standing still! This new weather is a relief to the sweltering hotness we have had in Houston for so long.

I love the fall. It's probably my favorite time of year. I love to drink coffee and hot chocolate, cuddle up in a blanket, and get on the couch! I love all of the fall holidays, and fall clothes.

What is your favorite season?

The Best Nap EVER.

How was your weekend?

I had a great weekend! I worked hard on Saturday to clean my house, do laundry and get all of my chores done. That way, on Sunday afternoon, I had nothing to do! I got a quilt that my great grandmother made and brought it to the couch. Wrapping up inside it, I laid down and listened. The light from outside started to disappear, and I could hear tree branches slapping the sides of my house. Next, big drops of rain beat down on my roof. I closed my eyes and slept while the big dark rain cloud poured down. It was the best nap ever!

Now, I feel rested and ready for a good week at school!

What do you do on rainy days?

The Attack of the Raging Ragweed

I don't know about you, but I was tired this weekend! I really wanted to sleep, so Hurley and I spent a lot of quality time on the couch. For several days I woke up with a runny nose and a little cough. I knew I was under attack. A silent, invisible attack.

Ragweed, trees, mold-- they were coming to get me! I couldn't see them and the only thing I had to defend myself with was a sneeze. And sneeze I did. I sneezed until I thought I had beaten that ugly ragweed, and sent it flying to Antarctica.

The problem is, I think I lost the fight. I still have a runny nose and cough! Maybe it's time to call in reinforcements. The superheros of allergies--medicine!

I'm not giving up... I will win!

Are you allergic to anything?

Labor Day Food

Mostly, my weekend was restful. I watched movies while it rained and stayed in my PJs all day! I love to do that! When we have a day off from school, I drink 2 cups of coffee and sit with Hurley on the couch for as long as we want to!

I think Labor Day is a great holiday. Labor means work, and so we celebrate our hard work for the year by resting! What a great idea!

Monday evening after relaxing all day, I went to my grandparents house to eat. A lot of people like to cook out on Labor Day. We had a delicious meal with ribs, grits, green beans, corn, chicken and sweet tea. I'm hungry just remembering it!

Although I enjoy having days off, I am glad to be back at school and see all of my kids!

Does your family do anything special for Labor Day?
