Footprints Friday

This morning at 8:15, I had a parent/teacher conference w/ Autumn’s teacher.  She said that Autumn has made great improvements in the last few months.  She even got teary-eyed a few times when talking about Autumn and how much she’ll miss her when she starts Kindergarten.  That was good to hear.

For dinner we went over to Mom & Dad’s house.  After dinner, we watched a show of the top 20 dumbest drivers.  Some of them we were laughing so hard and some of them we were cringing.  Mom & Dad left to run some errands.  Nick & Autumn & I watched, “What Would You Do?” which is so fascinating to me.  I love seeing the different human and social dynamics.  It was getting late, plus there were news breaks saying that there was a bad hail and thunderstorm headed our way.

So, we came home and the storm hadn’t hit us yet so we put away the garbage cans and then I noticed our neighbor’s sprinklers were on.  I told Autumn we should run through them, but she just looked at me like I was crazy.  So, I had to show her how it was done.  We ran up and down the sidewalk hand in hand and were laughing like little school girls.  This pic is so grainy b/c it was dark and I took it from far away w/ an iPhone, but I still like it.

We liked looking at our water footprints on the sidewalk.  We didn’t stay outside for too long b/c it started to get super windy and we noticed the storm clouds rolling in.  When Nick got home I put his car in the garage in case there was hail.  I got Autumn to bed and then wanted to watch a movie.  I was going to watch Steel Magnolias or The Help, but I had watched them not too long ago.  I decided to watch a movie I haven’t seen in a long time and ended up watching “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken.”  It’s such a good movie, and I forgot what a hottie Michael Schoeffling is.  Shocking, I know…me thinking a white guy is hot.
