Our Weekend: Drenched and Lots of Tennis!

Woo-hoo September has arrived!  I'm kind of fond of this particular month!  I get excited for a few things that occur during September.  The anniversary of our first date which we will celebrate but not exactly in the same way as before since we now have a wedding anniversary to celebrate too.  I also look forward to Autumn.  I'm ready to see even a slight change in the temps!  Plus the beginning of September means my bday is approaching. 

As for our holiday weekend....after waking up at the time Simon deemed appropriate on Labor day.  Which is coincidentally the same time he deems appropriate all other days!  Apparently he doesn't believe in sleeping in on a holiday.  After getting the boys fed I went to look out the window, since it had started raining during the night.  I don't  have a problem with light sprinkles but heavy rain and lightning means we must stay home.  It looked to be a light rain.  Light enough to get at least a portion of the walk in if not all of the long walk, down the stairs we went.  Once outside it wasn't bad at all, sparse sprinkles.  I was sure it would stop.  Sure enough it stopped within the first 10 minutes of the walk. We soon approached the turn around spot, which is the halfway point, and that's when the skies let loose with a large amount of rain.  We were getting absolutely drenched.  There was nothing to do except keep going.  I could tell the boys were completely annoyed it was raining so hard on them.  I quickly noticed both of them had their heads hanging down.  That's the sure sign of their irritation with the weather.  The boys were super soaked upon our arrival home.  There wasn't a dry spot on them.  We were all three looking like drowned rats.  

Both Sunday and Monday we stayed in all day! Just call us homebodies! The only time we went outside was to walk the boys.  It was nice to stay home so much.  I am a little surprised that we did though.  I think Brad especially enjoyed it since he feels he doesn't get enough time overall to simply relax at home.  Now staying in so much this past weekend was easy since the U.S. Open was on.  This is how crazy we are about watching tennis....last night we had tennis on the TV and on my laptop. At the U.S. Open's web site you can choose which match you watch.  They have cameras on all courts.  There we were switching from match to match online.  It's the last Grand Slam of the year, we're set on watching as much as we can of it. 

Brad starts on a team tennis league tonight.  He had to leave from work to get to practice in time.  It's a little odd not seeing him all day then all evening.  Normally when he has tennis nights with friends he comes home for a little while before leaving again, therefore we can catch up with one another's day. He will play his first match this coming Saturday.
