Thursday night we went downtown to Central Park for movie night (this was the second one, we unfortunately missed the first one). We watched the movie The Lorax. It was great seeing such a good turnout, it was a beautiful evening, the boys ate their fill of popcorn, and we had so much fun. Our city has been putting on and trying a lot of great things for our community and we try to participate in whatever we can.
Saturday night our neighborhood had our annual (I think this is the 4th) End of Summer Get Together. One family takes their turn at hosting (we have dodged that job yet, but our time will come) and we have so much fun. The main dish and drinks are provided (the developer or builder of our neighborhood always pitches in for this) by the hosts and then everyone else brings a dish to pass. The past few times a bouncy house has been rented for the kiddos. We also have washer and bean bag tournaments and play for trophies. It’s pretty funny. This year a free throw contest was also added. We usually end the evening sitting around the fire. We love our neighborhood, have I mentioned that before?
Everyone still awake (wide awake!) except the wee one as we make our way home….
With school right around the corner, along with it also comes fall (my favorite) and FOOTBALL. We enjoy watching and playing it in our backyard, and even more exciting this year is Connor playing it for the first time. He looks so darn cute in his uniform and I chuckle every time because the helmet and pads weigh more than him probably. He looks like he’s going to topple over. I can’t wait to watch him. He is really pumped about it.
