Labor Day Weekend

What a beautiful Labor Day weekend! I can't get enough of the cool weather! Even though it went from 90 degrees to 60 over the last two days, I could not be more happy to say Fall is here! I'm not one for the humid weather, so I welcome to the cooler temperatures. Plus, I am thrilled that college football is back! I'm been waiting for the season to start since the last bowl game in January. :) ASU actually started their season Thursday night, and it was 104 degrees at kick-off. I was happy to be watching it on TV at 9:30, which is practically my bed time these days. I only made it through an hour or two and recorded the rest. This is the time of year that I am glad we live in Illinois again, because this was when the heat would really start to wear on you out there.  We had a good football weekend, as ASU, NIU, and Illinois won their first games.

Saturday we had to go on a mini shopping spree for Andrew, because we didn't know it was going to be this cool so quickly. He did not have any long sleeve shirts in his size. It was 55 degrees when we arrived at the annual Oberheim Labor Day Breakfast at the park this morning! Andrew had a bright red nose, and I think the poor little guy could have even used some mittens. He was wearing his one pair of socks again, because I didn't buy him any yet for Fall. Grandpa Siegrist bought him some cute airplane socks last month when he went to Oshkosh for the airshow. Without those socks, Andrew would have had some very cold feet this weekend. They are in the washing machine as I type this.

We got to see quite a bit of family these past few days, and I'm enjoying the time off from work. My grandparents came to town this weekend, along with my Uncle Paul. Friday evening they came over with my parents for a few hours, and on Saturday, Andrew and I went over to my parents' house for the afternoon.

Andrew had everybody laughing when he kept giggling at Tiki on the other side of the glass. He just loves dogs! He likes to crawl after Jez laughing at least a few times a day.

Outside of his love for dogs, is his "obsession" for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. When he got crabby at my parents' house, he watched Mickey with Grandma on YouTube.

Here he is at Mike's parents' house watching Mickey while he eats dinner (he is not spolied at all). Grandma Marcia got in his way a few times. Watch out, Grandma! Mickey is on!

Here are a few pictures from the Annual Oberheim Labor Day Breakfast.

We had to leave for Andrew's morning nap, but it looks like we didn't make it in time...

So the weekend has come to a close, but I decided to take off Tuesday since Mike took the whole week off for vacation. I can't remember the last time we spent the day together alone, so I am really excited for tomorrow! We may even...drum roll, please.....see a movie! Movie dates are hard to come by these days.  However, it has all been worth it! I'm already dreading going back to the daily grind on Wednesday, but that's what makes the weekends and holidays so special. :)
