Rainy Saturday

What do you do when there is nothing but rain forecasted and no OU game on? Well, we packed up the car with raingear and set out for Biltmore. We wandered around the gardens and A actually seemed kind of upset to not visit the house. We will hopefully go back in a few weeks and see the house decorated for Halloween, or at least once fall sets in and we have some pretty leaves to see. Here are some pictures from our wet Saturday.

A was uncertain about the topiary not eating her. We couldn't convince her to get any closer than this!

I do my homework!

This is what we regularly get told when asking A what she's doing. We have no idea where she learned the phrase, but are kind of disturbed by it. I mean, what 2 year old needs to do homework? She basically just sits at a computer and pretends to type or something along those lines, and it is really cute, but disturbing. I know that my work has recently instituted a "homework" policy, which I attempt to do, but let me tell you, I missed out by doing homework in school! I didn't realize that if you didn't do homework then you had time to do other things, you know this may be why I went to school forever.

I think that we are finally getting over our cold/allergies/sinus infection throughout the house. We are thinking it is more allergies, but because we can't get the load of gunk out of our sinuses it is turning into a sinus infection for each of us. We had a rather wet summer and so apparently the mold and ragweed count is astronomical. Who knew!?

Overall besides for working and attempting to keep a household together we haven't done much this month. We've been too drained on weekends to go many places. We also haven't really had the need, so we attempt to catch up on sleep. A even seems to go along with this plan often. Our other weekend activity has been watching football. A is quite intent on watching football and will often ask to starting about 9. As an OU ex-pat we were able to watch the OU/TU game last weekend on the internet. We should be able to get most of the games so we are excited.

Anyway, it is about dinner time so I need to go help Chris get that together. Hope all is well by you.
