weekending

we were all looking forward to the weekend after an abrupt end to summer and a busy back to school week.

teddy was eager to golf.

cross country has been cutting into his time on the course.

it was a beautiful late summer weekend so he played 18 both days,

saturday he joined his uncle, and sunday he played with his dad, grandpa and a friend.

he came home with a 76 and happy.

lily had shopping on her itinerary.

she shopped saturday in cedarburg and then bayshore with friends, and sunday she and i hit the mall.

we had some success with her fall wardrobe.

she came with a succulent and some cute jeans.

the highlight of my weekend was picking apples with my girl.

she wasn't really into it, but she did it for me.

(and because i bribed her with a stop at michaels.)

we came home with a supply of mollies and ginger golds.

the best apple cider donuts, and slime supplies too.

she made slime while i finished my book.

then i put together eggplant parmesan for sunday dinner.

mike grilled some balsamic chicken too.

this pairing perfectly illustrates where we stand: holding onto summer while anticipating fall.

it's not a bad place to be.
