A Direct Proof

I propose that September is a kickass month. Here are the factual statements (with photographic evidence) to back up my assertion.

If, by the 6th of September, you have already:

1. bought a new car


New car on right, car that was kicked to the curb on the left

2. had a 4 day weekend

3. spent most of that weekend with your best friend that you haven't seen in almost 2 years


Jen

4. While the two of you were matrons of honor for your OTHER best friend's wedding


The bride, Yson (aka Allyson)


Her faithful attendants (me and Jen)



The big kiss moment

5. And actually got to hang out with adults, including everyone's husband


Yson and her new husband Tim


Jen and her husband Daniel


M. and me

6. And danced, a lot

7. Then returned home to kids who totally survived their first overnight with a babysitter JUST FINE

8. Took a 3 hour nap to get over all the wine that was consumed


Full disclosure, though this is a picture of M., I'm the one who took the nap on Sunday. But to be fair, I had two whole nights of wine drinking, while he only had one because he was home with the kids. I clearly deserved it more ;-).

9. Took the kids to play at a local soccer field and park and had lots of fun that cost absolutely nothing


The closest she came to playing soccer - the rest of the time she just made me hold her. Someone missed her mommy!


The next Beckham - it's crazy how good he has gotten in the last few months!



10. Spent over an hour coloring with your almost-4-year-old son

11. And said farewell to summer by watching the neighbors let their dogs swim wild at the neighborhood pool before it closed until next May,

Then it must be true that September is a really, really great month.

Q.E.D.

(And this doesn't even count the remaining 24 days, which happen to include M.'s and my 7-year anniversary...)

  2. It is weird. I have no idea what park you brought the kids to, but I recognize the playset! LOL! Nice pics.
