Lazy Labor Day Weekend

I have always said that God created Labor Day for teachers! He knew that after 2 long weeks back at school, we would need a day off to relax and recoup!

I was really looking forward to this three day weekend, mostly because we had nothing planned. We stayed around the house most of the weekend, just playing and having fun family time.

Saturday morning, the kids and I went to a baby shower for a good friend of mine who just had her second baby girl. Her first daughter is a few months older than Parker, and it has been fun to watch them grow together. Our play dates will be much more fun now that we have added another little girl into the group. (Poor Parker...he is usually the only boy in most of our play groups!)

We went over to my parents house for a cook out and swimming Saturday night. Emily and the girls had come down for the baby shower so it was fun to see them.

We spent almost all day Sunday cleaning house. It is amazing how long it takes to clean when you have a toddler and an infant who are under your feet wanting to play. We took lots of breaks to play and eat, and finally got done mid afternoon. I also got all of the laundry and ironing done on Sunday so that all I would have to do today is relax.

Parker and Daddy playing with Play-Doh


Eden got her first taste of pancakes on Sunday. She thought they were very yummy!

Playing in Parker's crib...such a happy girl!!

Parker playing with his train set. He has been lining up the street signs and trees on the track and then using the train to knock them down. Very fun (and time consuming!).

This morning, we picked up Papa (Cory's dad) and headed to Fort Worth for lunch and shopping. Cory was so sweet to watch the kids while I went shopping at Ann Taylor Loft (my favorite store). They were having some good sales and it was so nice to shop without having to worry about the kids crawling out of the dressing room! We also ate lunch at Pei Wei... so good!

We ended the weekend with a fun trip to Jumpin Apes. Parker had a blast in the jump houses and it was fun to watch Cory going down the slides with him. There is nothing like going down a huge slide to make you feel like a kid again!

It has been such a nice, uneventful weekend and I am so thankful to have had an extra day to spend with Cory and the kids. I hope you and your families had a wonderful Labor Day weekend too!

Have a great week!
