September? Really???

I can't BELIEVE it's September 1st!!!! Seriously? How did that happen? It seems like school just ended and Jimmy started spending his whole day with us a few times a week and this morning he hopped on the bus, headed for 3rd grade...and this weekend is Labor Day Weekend!
.
What the heck happened to summer?
.
I'll tell ya what happened...RAIN! and LOTS of it. As far as I'm concerned, the entire month of June & most of July were a waste - then the parties began and here we are - September 1st.
.
Yesterday one of my magazines showed up in the mail and the cover had pictures of jack-o-lanterns....in August? Now, don't get me wrong - I LOVE the Fall! It's my favorite time of year. Halloween is my favorite holiday, I love being able to drag my comfy jeans out for the day and flannel pants at night, long sleeve t-shirts and snuggly hoodies. I love apple picking, fairs, the changing colors and the fact that the bugs disappear. In fact, the only thing I DON'T like about the Fall is that it leads to winter. UGH! Winter. I can't even think about it yet. So...I won't :)
.
The weather all of this week AND weekend is supposed to be sunny and warm - YAY! Hubby is taking a couple vacation days so he will be home Friday through Tuesday and we have some things we want to get done around the house but mostly we're spending the weekend having fun. I told him yesterday that I wish we were going camping and he rolled his eyes, but at dinner tonight we talked about the weekend and I'm looking forward to being home. We're going to have a couple fires out in the backyard (just like camping!), we'll probably end up grilling almost every meal (just like camping!), there will be no need to rush to get dressed (just like camping!) and, to top the weekend off, we're taking Iz up to Santa's Village on Monday (not exactly like camping, but still FUN!).
.
So, it will be a "stay-cation" for us but....ahhhhh....that's OK by me!
