Samuel took this shot of the stormy sky one night last week. 
What is Labor Day, and why do we celebrate? Well, to be honest, we usually don't. We end up working on a project and that's about it. This year, we made a very good effort not to do that. The day started out with Buddy letting me sleep in, thank you very much. Then Catherine and I hit Wally world all by ourselves. We wanted to have a picnic, but knew that it would take too long to pack up and go where we wanted, because we were really hungry. So, the picnic was in our back yard. Everyone had fun. Followed by some serious swinging....
...while the other 2 read.
Then it was nap time for the littlest 2, and the big guy who was supposed to be watching a video for school. The kids and I played some games while the others snoozed.

It was a bit windy (our stroller ended up halfway across the yard on the other side of the house while we were inside) which kept us feeling much cooler. There were stroller pushing contests...
moments of silliness,
some pitiful looking animals,
some pride eating moments (why didn't I take 2 minutes to put on makeup!?!)
and some joys in meeting animals.

It was so nice to have all this play time! After the little ones had their baths and were in bed, we got some ice cream and ate in the back yard. 
We put the tent up so S & C could have a fun adventure for the night. They came in at least 3 times before they were finally done for the night. I think they're sleeping, but who knows. At least they'll have had fun.
Tomorrow starts dance for C, so we may need to make time for resting during the day. Looking forward to a great week.
