Better than fine, in fact.

This week marks the beginning of the end of summer: my favorite time of the year. When the sun cools and there's a nip at night and air-conditioning can be replaced with fresh-air through the windows and an open sunroof and a playground slide that isn't 567,000 degrees.

When wardrobe is not limited to tank tops and capri pants, and this years flip-flops hit the trash and knit hats and scarves and jackets are almost wearable again. Almost. (I mean, it's never really cold here but a girl can't ignore Fall fashion, even if the rain hates to fall here and snow doesn't even know North Texas exists.)

Saturday I wore a hoodie. And closed-toe shoes. And it was perfect. And Grayson wore his long sleeved t-shirt with shorts. I gave up my shift Friday and Saturday night due to the fact that Hurricane Ike was coming and I just wanted to hang with my boys. Even though it rained and rained and rained, it ended up being a perfect weekend.

We took Grayson to the Wiggly Play Center, which is an indoor play gym of awesomeness, so he could run and wiggle all of his energy out. I think Daddy had just as much fun as he did!

Afterwards, we headed to Posado's for some yummy mexican food. Sunday we got up and went to church and then headed home to watch some football. We ate wings and potato salad and had a loooooooong nap!

And then there was today. Beautiful. We ate Chic Filet and then went to the park with our best, little friend. It was a gorgeous day with a coolness in the air.

Around here, there isn't really a proper "end" to summer. You just know when you start seeing pumpkins bedecking front porches and the Halloween candy lining the shelves at Target.

It's my most favorite time of year!

So although the time has come to say "goodbye" to swim shorts and water parks and "hello" to long sleeves and pumpkin patches,

it's a happy ending to a seemingly endless summer.

Farewell to 100 degree days. So long, heat rash. Good riddence evil sun. Goodnight hairbrush. Goodnight mush. And the old lady whispering hush. Etc. Etc. The end.
