Labor Day

Here is our Labor Day in a nutshell: We started celebrating Sunday night by making a fort in the family room. Brody has really been wanting to do a sleep-over with us, so since Daddy didn't have work the next day we gave it a try.... It lasted till 10:30. Brody was being good, but he still wasn't asleep yet. I think he was too excited or something. He'd just lay there with his eyes open and then shut them super tight when I'd say go to bed. I am a stickler about sleep, because I need it too, so we moved back to our own beds. Brody was a pretty good sport about it.
In the morning Greg got the boys into the bike trailer and headed to the park. I ran and met them there and then they followed me on the trail, and then back home. ( I've got to start uping my milage if I really want to do this half marathon next month... I'm getting scared!) It was fun to have them there with me, total motivation to keep going.
Later we met up with some friends, The Anderson's & Hobbs to have a picnic and play at the park. They both have boys the same ages as Tate & Brody, so it's always fun when we get together to play. The Dad's and big boys played bocce ball while us Mama's chased the babies.

Tate's favorite was sliding down the slides all by himself. He'd say, " Eahy, Eet, Ooh"! (ready , set, go!) And push off with a huge smile on his face.

Brody loved playing in the sandbox. There are tons of tractors & bulldozers in it for everyone to play with, He was in heaven.Greg & Adam Anderson playing with Brody & Trey(They wouldn't pose for me. Greg thinks I'm cheesy because I ALWAYS take pictures.)

It was a very low-key day, but always a treat to have extra time together.
