Fall

We are so glad it has gotten cooler. I actually turned on the heater for about 5 minutes to take the crispness out of the air this morning.

Dr. worked all weekend but we kept busy.

October is Rose Season in Tyler. They have a queen and her court. The rose garden is in full bloom and there is a parade and a coronation.

We ventured to the parade Saturday morning. After growing up in Mobile and living in Jackson with the Sweet Potato Queens parade, this was about the shoddiest parade I had ever seen. The highlight of the parade was watching drunk Miss Senior America ride on the back of a car.

We also got to see the court with food on their head.... I mean with their gorgeous hats.




Finally after Chuck asked to leave for the 10th time, we decided to leave the parade.

We had a birthday party yesterday afternoon. Chuck got a little bruised and swollen cheek from a collision on one of the inflatable slides but it was gone by today. Both boys were exhausted by bedtime but for some reason both got up at 5:30 this morning. Ugh. Painful.

Today we did a few errands. We stopped by Pet-smart to see animals, played in the backyard, and then made it to the playground this afternoon.































Chuck and I have been talking about the seasons. He prefers to call Autumn, "Fall, because the leaves are falling. Autumn doesn't make sense, mom." Next weekend we have some Fall activities planned.
