Labor day weekend fun: The Fair

We were the big party poopers of the family this weekend. My brother's family, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all went to the beach. We decided to have a "staycation" and not join them. I know, boring! But it was SO good for us. We watched movies, played games, the kids had home-made pancakes and popcorn, enjoyed a day of college football (War Eagle!), and we took one night to go to the Alabama State Fair. I napped, took a bubble bath, read, and enjoyed my family every day. With such a busy school year, so much travel time in the car, adjusting to teaching three separate grade levels this year, and trying to adjust to Mom's cancer news, I had NO energy to pack and travel. (And we have a fabulous trip to look forward to in December with these family members- Steamboat, Colorado!)It has been a super weekend! Restful, fun, wonderful! (If you live in Alabama and listen to the radio, we saw the "monkeys ridin' dogs!!" My husband thought that advertisement was hilariously obnoxious.)
