Were'd the sun go?

We went from warm sunny weather to dark fall-like days so quickly. I can't believe it's already September! Where, oh where, is the year going?

Today, we're working on moving fall clothing from containers in the basement up here for the boys. I'm so blessed to have a family give us so many hand me down clothes for Ryan. And I save the really good stuff that's left over at the end of a season for Tim. I can't imagine just how much people must spend on clothing since kids grow SO quickly.

We recently had our first yard sale. It was quite the success. I was sad to part with some of the toys because it means our boys are getting so big, but it was nice to make extra room in the house. We will do a sale again... perhaps earlier in the summer next year. Ryan was delighted to help out and he loved giving the customers their change and guarding the money box. This morning on our way to the bank he exclaimed "that's where we had our yard sale. Right there. We sold lots of stuff." He's so cute.

Tim is quite the talker these days. He's discovered that he loves music and is always asking me to sing. They sing lots of songs I don't know at daycare so I've had to have his teacher teach me the songs too! Tim has also recently started putting things in order by shape, size, color... etc. The funniest one recently was his Dora fruit snacks that he sorted by color and character...

Adam and I have had lots of movie nights recently. Last night we watched Hollywood Homicide. I liked it. I also liked one we watched earlier in the week... Inkheart. I highly recommend that one, if you haven't already seen it. I suppose our movie nights are coming to a close, just like summer, as Survivor and the rest of our weekly shows will be airing soon.

We're having our garage sale this coming Saturday. Sadly, the weather man predicts rain.
