So this weekend was the unofficial end of summer. For the CoasterFamily, summer ended not with a bang, but with a slow fade. We're all getting a little tired of the hot weather, I think, and have gotten lazy.
We watched college football, kid movies, and the news on television. We played with balloons, legos, dolls and crayons. We avoided yardwork like the plague. Oh, we did a little cleaning, a little shopping, and a little home renovation, but for the most part, we just stayed around the house and took it easy.
Even so, I'm beat. Even on days when we're not doing much, there's still the daily business of potty training, attempting to feed the kids food that's actually good for them rather than succumbing to the siren call of the fast food joints for every meal, and trying to maintain patience in the face of whining, fighting, and misbehaving (but lovely!) children.
I'm looking forward to fall. I'm looking forward to cooler weather, long sleeves, and football games. To crock-pot meals and changing leaves. To chili. To planning for the holidays. To fires in the fireplace, and s'mores with the kids.
So long to the August doldrums. Bring on fall!

Amen, sister!:) I am right there with you. I'm ready for the 90 degree temps and humidity to be gone! Bring on the 70's and the crisp coolness in the air.
