Sunday afternoon

It's the wind down time of the weekend. When the kids were little, this was actually a really busy time checking homework,prepping lunches, making sure all the school clothes were clean....

Now,not so much. Our big question today is will we go out to watch the Manning brothers play in their football game or stay in. Susan is finishing up her school work out on the new deck while the breeze begins its siren song of fall. Already our pool is closed and the leaves are just beginning to turn. Even though today has been really sunny and hot, you can tell that there is a change coming.

I remember when I was younger, we use to watch "The Wonderful World of Disney" on Sunday nights while eating cereal and wearing our pjs. It was a calming down period. (with 5 kids,that is saying a LOT). We would watch the old Disney movies and sit quietly while they were on. Afterward, the youngest were sent right to bed but we got to stay up and watch "Bonanza" (Little Joe was SO dreamy!)

Now, it's the Amazing Race (premieres next week) or football. Maybe tonight I will put on "Old Yeller" ~~ just for a change of pace.
