Fall weather....

Its raining! Hurray for fall! There is nothing quite like the first rain of the fall season and the first (mostly) cold day. It started pouring last night in the middle of the night and it was so nice to lay and bed and listen to it...between that and being able to hear the beach from where we are staying....heaven (except that Brian is not here to enjoy with us). This morning we had our gym'n'swim class, minus the swim portion today due to the rain so we had extra gym time. Scott and Parker were the only kids who showed up this morning (I guess the rest of the class couldn't be bothered to come out in the rain? bizarre-o to me because I knew I had to seize the opportunity to get out of the house and run off some energy). After our private gym time Scott and I met daddy for lunch at barnes and noble, we had "hoop" (soup) and bread and juice and then got to play at the train table (local moms: if you need something to do, especially on a rainy day, hit up the B&N in Westlake - they have the best Thomas table I have ever seen and a great story time too). It was so nice to see Brian, Scott was crazy excited when I told him who we were having lunch with! A few more days of crazy construction and then we should all be under the same roof again. And I'm so excited to see how the kitchen turns out.
Scott and I picked up dinner for tonight on the way home (first chili and cornbread of the fall - smile) and a tea latte and gluten free almond scone - mmmm!
Now we are back and the rain has let up for a bit. Scott is currently entertaining himself with his "duys" (guys), which are his plastic people families, his giant dump truck, meant for the park but its raining so what can ya do, and his thomas flashlight. We will probably head out for long walk soon before the rain returns, even though Scott will probably ask to go the beach the whole time (beach is a new word we've learned since "living" here, he brings me out a swim diaper and says "beach...peas"!
Fall at the beach is pretty magical!
