Fun at the County Fair

This past weekend was the Will County Fair. The fairgrounds are in Peotone, which is like 5 minutes from us. We headed to the fair on Sunday, and it was HOT!!! Seriously, where is the cool weather????

Here was our day in pictures...

Enjoying his first corndog!

Piggies in the kid's animal farm area.

Luke LOVES goats!!!

And he also loves the tractors and mowers and so on...

Friday Night Lights

We kicked off our weekend with Andrew's first football game of the year. The place was PACKED!!! They were playing their big district rival, Sandburg, and the school had just gotten turf on the field. We had to park in the neighborhood and it was probably about a 15 minute walk to the stadium. Luke seemed to enjoy himself. We just stood against the fence for awhile watching the game and then we made our way to one of the end zones where it was less crowded and Luke could run around a bit. He thoroughly enjoyed the band at halftime!!! Unfortunately the T-Bolts ended up losing by a touchdown, but it was still fun!

Routine

Summer is just about over and school is back in session. Not 2 things people are generally happy about, but with those 2 things come routine. And as I have mentioned before, I am a big fan of routines!

In this house, summer is for routines getting thrown out the window, Daddy being home to play all day long, weekends filled with lots of plans and activities and driving, and a messy house.

But with the end of summer and a Daddy being back to work, I feel like things get back to a little more normal around here. Don't get me wrong - I love summer and we certainly did have lots of fun this summer! But I also love fall and the calmness that it generally brings!


So we are back to Luke going to Punky's 4 days a week, me working from home or being off on Fridays, and having some family time at home on the weekends. My house is cleaned weekly and meals are planned in advance. And we only have definite set plans for 2 weekends this fall so far, which is great.

I am so looking forward to the leaves changing colors, those cool fall nights, pumpkins, hooded sweatshirts, football games, a new season of TV shows, and our 5-year wedding anniversary!



Yes! The routine is back :)

Luke is excited about it too!

Summer Nights
