Fall is NOT in the air...

I was hoping the title was going to be fall is in the air, but it isn't. We keep hoping and waiting and waiting and hoping, but to no avail. We will have a cool day, then back to heat. Hopefully slowly by surely cooler weather will make it to us! Clark keeps talking about it snowing, ummmmm...and I keep correcting him. He is convinced that because we got a little dusting last year, it will happen again this year. He talks about making the snowman, guess he forgot that it was only about as tall as a ruler! :) Oh well, I bought some yummy apple cider so we can pretend that it is fall. He is excited about Halloween coming up on Saturday. There is a fall festival at the church where he goes to Mother's Day Out. We will go there for a while, then trick or treat in the neighborhood. Ali is opting out of dressing up this year, but wanted a Halloween shirt to wear when we walk the neighborhood. Seems like yesterday that she was the cutest little scarecrow EVER to walk the face of the earth!! Oh how time flies.

Ali had a swim meet last weekend, and did wonderfully! She placed in the top 8 in every event. She won 3 first place ribbons. We will be going to a swim meet at UT in Austin in November. This will be her 3rd time to swim there...she loves it.

There is not much news around here. But, I will end with some funny Clark sayings...I don't want to forget all these silly things!

We were having lunch and Ali told Clark to hurry up and he told her, "don't worry about me, worry about you." (guess he had heard that before?)

Clark was eating breakfast and I had gone upstairs. He started talking to me and didn't know I couldn't hear him. Ali told him that I couldn't hear him and that he would have to tell me later. He said, "I'm not listening, talk to yourself." (ummm, yeah..he got in trouble for that smart talk!!)

The ladies guild at church gave out little boxes to fill with change to bring back to church to help the needy. Clark brought his home, emptied his piggy bank and brought it to me. He told me it was to help people that didn't have money, and then he told me it was all he had in his bank. Isn't that sweet?

Ali told me the other day that she decided what she wanted for Christmas. She said, "the Jonas Brothers...like the REAL DEAL." Yeah, she wants Joe Jonas for Christmas. Ha! T.C. responded like this, "you have to get rid of your cats then, because if we are taking in the Jonas Brothers we can't have the cats too! haha...great Dad response!
