Labor Day Weekend

Not much in the way of excitement for Labor Day weekend. Helen started off with a bad hair day, but we are just excited that she has enough hair to accomplish that feat.

Saturday morning was spent hanging out in the playroom. Have I mentioned how absolutely awesome it is to have a playroom?

Saturday was also the official first weekend of college football. Here's Charlie settling in to watch - can you hear Daddy's heart go pitter patter, pitter patter?

The only other thing we did Saturday was take a trip to Costco. Samples, samples!

Sunday we skipped church to vacuum because . . . we have a tick infestation. Nice. Exterminators are coming Wednesday. On a better note, we got ourselves out of the house (much needed) and took a quick trip to Houston's Discovery Green park, where the kids played in the water. So much fun, so many opportunities for cute pictures, so didn't bring a camera.

Monday I got the crazy notion that we should be artsy with the kids and brought out the paints. I now remember why we never let the boys paint when they were little. I'm not sure why I thought it would be better now -- when kids outnumber the adults, leaving less supervision and more opportunity for the little kids to eat paint, run away with their brothers' paintbrushes, and dump water all over their paintings.

What else did we do this weekend?



Played music.



Played football.

Rode toys naked.

Played soccer.



Said "shoe." Lots.

Watched the Astros.

Traded baseball cards.

Hope your Labor Day weekend was equally nice!
