Laborious Weekend

This is the beginning of one of my favorite times of the year.  I love September.  The weather, the anticipation of fun holidays around the corner and Labor Day.  Who can resist a long weekend?!

We had no plans this weekend, which was by far the best plan ever.  We stayed home and enjoyed being a family. It was awesome.  We worked on different projects - some that have needed to be done for ever and just never stopped to do.  Like organize Haylie's closet of shoes.  This girl has so many!  I had been throwing them all in a tub but was to the point where that was overtaking her closet space.  Old shelf to the rescue!


We also cleaned out the garage.  Since the garage sale, boxes, junk, tools, etc. have been piling up and making it worse and worse to actually get in one vehicle, let alone two!  Jace apparently ate some dirt while helping us clean.


We did a family workout!  Since the weather was gorgeous on Sunday and we didn't have our small group, we utilized our time to be outdoors!  Haylie rode her bike, I ran/walked and Justin pushed Jace in the stroller while easily keeping up with my slow pace.  We did about 2 miles on the Eagle Trail.  When we were done, Haylie said "Mommy, why is your face so red??"  Ha.  It happens my dear!


Monday we took our friend Robin up on her sweet offer to use her pool and had a good time!  Haylie got in more swimming practice and Jace enjoyed cooling off.


I love this girl's sense of fashion.  Not just one headband, but all of them - Rambo style.  Did any one notice her snow boots too?  (The temp was in high 90's.)  She is hilarious!  H helped cut up watermelon for our cookout Monday!


It was a relaxing, yet busy weekend.  I felt we used our time well and got to enjoy lots of friends company in the meantime.  Love family weekends!

We did - thanks so much! We tried the doorbell first so we wouldn't scare D, but I don't think he was home!
