The long weekend

Since I've labored recently I felt quite deserving to soak up this Labor Day weekend. As usual, our family of 4 (and 2 runny noses) was on the go this weekend. The 3rd time we were packing up the car with the bottom half of the house for yet another 4+ hour getaway we both looked at each other and just laughed. We always are able to convince ourselves that the time as a family out of the house is worth the "pack up" but I am sure when we are finally settled into our own home we will look at our more mobile days as pure -nutso! But for now, we love seeing friends and other little ones, but more so doing things as a family!

This weekend consisted of (in no grand order) football, hamburgers, an elephant, an afternoon with grandma, more hamburgers, cotton candy for the first time, Dierks Bentley on repeat, a sweet grandma's birthday, maybe a milkshake, several late night movies after the boys were down, little cleaning, naps during thunderstorms, a little 1 year old walking, some finger paint, lots of "spills", and a whole bunch of wetwipes - wiping noses and other things that need wiped! It sort of goes without fail that if it's a long weekend - one or both of the boys won't feel well. Then what follows is a guessing game all weekend as to whether we should tough it out or chase down any doctor on call at the ER. We opted for the 1st this time and I am hoping by tomorrow that we are glad we did. Despite the little colds in the little people we had an enjoyable weekend together....one of the first in a really long time! Here are a few iphone pictures to follow. {I vow to have a camera by 2012!}
