Questioning Myself

I had to stay home today because MJ picked up conjunctivitis, likely during her first week at Belin.  She wasn't feeling bad, but had to be on an antibiotic before she could return.

So today we played.  Went to the park, strolled around the neighborhood - soaked up as much sunshine as we could.

And I gave this up because...???

Labor Day

This was the first federal holiday, other than Thanksgiving and Christmas, that Robert has had off in 15 years - so how fitting that he get to enjoy this particular holiday - poolside.  I enjoyed the day off as well - don't let my enthusiasm for Robert take away from that fact.

I don't think Labor Day is actually ever labor free, but just to spend an extra day with the fam doing what we like to do is close enough.  We're trying to cram in the last few weekends what we have left to spend at the pool.  Our ride there is always the best part.

It's Football Season

We always welcome the start of football season by drafting our Fantasy Football teams.  We are entering our seventh year as faithful members of the League of No Shame, aka LONS - a league made up of great friends who like to talk a lot of smack and have a lot of fun in the process.

We hosted a small draft party last weekend to kick off the season right.  The Santels traveled down even with Hurricane Irene quickly approaching -  did I mention how die hard we are about this league?  We played during the day, played harder at night and then finally drafted a team on Sunday we all hope will bring us a victory.

Just a few days pics after Irene decided to blow by...

 

This weekend so far has been devoted to college football - a win for the Tar Heels over James Madison and Tennessee is well on their way to a win over Montana.  Couldn't ask for a better season opener. Man, I love football season!
