Labor Day, I love you.

Last weekend was one of the best weekends we've had in a long time...probably due to the fact it was a 3 day weekend.

Saturday night, you had your VERY FIRST sleepover at a friends house, without me!  And that was a BIG DEAL!  Of course it was with Cheekies, so I wasn't nervous at all (and of course Becca kept me up on the play by play with pictures).  And you practically were shoving me out of her house when I dropped you off.  Yeah, no worries there.

Sunday we had a nice family dinner and then Monday, oh Monday!  It was Labor Day, and we decided to pick up lunch and have a picnic out at Loose Park. 

Lunch under a tree, a little time at the splash park and then some walking around the rose garden.  It was perfect.  When we got back in the car to head home, you fell asleep almost instantly so daddy and I decided to just drive around the city.  We stopped by Liberty Memorial and I got out and looked around.  Lived here all my life, and I've never been there!  It was cool!  So, we decided we were going to go back this weekend...while you were awake, and take you up in the tower.  I hope it's as neat as I have it planned in my head.  Regardless, we are all going to do it, and like it, because we are a family, and that is just what we do. 

xoxo,
Mommy
