The end of summer vacation is coming up very quickly. My oldest daughter will be starting kindergarten while my youngest is still a year away from pre-school. The beginning of the school year also signals cooler temps (in theory of course) and football season (we know how much I enjoy that). This summer has flown by for us as we have had something going on pretty much every weekend. Let's tie up some loose ends before getting down to business in a few weeks.
I've seen enough precipitation in the last 12 months to last me a lifetime. Here's hoping we dry out so that I don't have to mow the yard as often.
I can't believe that football season is only a few weeks away.
Even though Iowa struggled with UNI last year you had to know something special was going to happen when there are 2 blocked field goals to win the game.
It was nice to have our first family vacation to Colorado and spend some time at Rocky Mountain National Park, and to visit my sister-in-law and niece in Kansas City and go to Oceans of Fun while there (though a thunderstorm cut our time at the park short). I don't think we've done that much traveling in one year.
I really wish I could play golf more often. On second thought it may also give me a heart attack with the way I play sometimes.
The state fair started this week. I don't have any desire to go other that to get the new Hawkeye football poster, which I have people get for me anyway. Maybe we'll take the kids in a few years.
A few years ago I was in 3 fantasy football leagues. I then decided not to play any more. This year marks the 2nd year in a league at work. Tonight is our draft and I have no strategy in place, again.
Today is also my mom's birthday. Happy 5#th birthday Mom!
I don't get too excited about the NBA anymore and the whole LeBron fiasco lowered that excitement even more.
I am getting more excited about Iowa's men's basketball team that will take the floor in 2011-2012.
We are doing a garden for the first time. So far we have 5 developed pumpkins and some cucumbers. Not bad for only having those two vegetables sprout.
The plan for next year is to have a pumpkin patch, strawberry patch, and swimming pool in the back yard.
My sister is getting married in less than 2 weeks and I'm doing the ceremony. Time to get cracking!
I will have another (3rd) niece or a first nephew near the end of January.
My daughters are acting 10 years older than they are (and they are 5 and 3).
