Happy "Lazy" Day

Happy "Lazy" Day everyone. At least this is what Caleigh seems to think the day is called. Nevermind the fact that everyone around her has said "Labor" day. She is insisting that today is "Lazy" day. And that actually sounds pretty good to me. We have been pretty busy around here for the last few days. I wouldn't mind having a lazy day. I mean it is finally raining, ending our heat spell, been in the 90's at least every day since May 16th!



Caleigh went back to school on Tuesday of last week. Her antibiotic gave her nosebleeds (again) so I stopped giving it to her (again). Her teachers were very happy to see her come back and she was more than ready!



We decided to spend one afternoon at the library reading and playing with the castle blocks. She made herself a huge castle and picked out a few new books for bedtime stories. One of the books she picked was Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree", one of my all time favorites! I was happy to read this one to her the past few nights.

Another book she picked out was called "Hank and Oogie". My sister read her this book for the first time and I found it quite comical. She has such a country twang that it made the story even funnier. I was able to use my cell phone to record a bit of her reading without her noticing. Oogie needed a "good warshing"! LOL! Wish I could share it with you but Blogger doesn't seem to want to let me share it! Sorry!

This past Thursday, a friend of ours had some tickets to the Atlanta Braves game that he was giving away, so at the last minute we took him up on his offer. We invited one of my sisters and her husband to come along and we took off for the field. It was incredibly hot, but the Braves pulled out a win. Caleigh enjoyed herself but did get restless from being so hot.



Friday brought camping day at school for Caleigh and then an afternoon of shopping and visiting Caleigh's Granny and Granddaddy for a roast dinner.



Then, Saturday was "Game Day". The Georgia Dawgs were playing in the Georgia Dome and she was super excited, mostly because her daddy was so hyped up about it. She ended up spending that night with her Nonnie that night and her dad and I watched the dawgs, to our dismay, lose their season opener. We also watched the Braves game that night and they lost too. Maybe we should have turned off the television and did something else!

Sunday brought us all to a steak dinner at Nonnie's house and made for another late evening. Caleigh woke up at 4:50am this morning declaring that she could no longer sleep. In order to get her to go back to sleep, I pulled her in bed with me. Bad move! She only stayed awake for the next two hours and then wanted to get up for the day! Ugg!



So, when I say that I wouldn't mind celebrating "Lazy Day", I really do mean it! Happy Lazy Day everyone!
