Labor day has always been a day off from work and school, but we've never really paid much attention to it. R asked us why it's a holiday so we actually had to look it up. It started great discussion as to the difference of secular holidays and Christian holidays. We may have confused her. She thinks Halloween is a holiday but she doesn't get school off. I know....it's confusing.
But anyway, we planned to spend the majority of our Labor Day weekend in Katy at Anna's house with the M. Hantla family. Saturday we met them in Katy for an afternoon of swimming and hanging out. Paul dug up some weeds for a while before going to visit his mom, Citi, since she just had surgery. B and M grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for dinner. Everything was yummy and we had crack dip and puppy chow too. B managed to get the OU game hooked up so we watched football too. OU destroyed LA Tech (duh) and then we watched most of the LSU game (not as easy). Our goal was to leave around bedtime (a little later) to head back to our house for the night. We were not going to spend the night because we have Cooper to think about of course. We stayed late though; til around 11:00 pm I think. All I know is that all 4 kids fell asleep on the way home and we had to carry each one into the house and put them to bed. I know they were exhausted.
Sunday we went to Sugar Creek and instead of eating lunch at home, we met the family at Jimmy Changa's. I'm not sure why we went out to eat because I know there must have been left overs at the Marsh house....but oh well. The kids had a good time playing and I'm starting to like chips & salsa a whole lot! After lunch we headed back to Katy for an afternoon movie (snooze) and chill time. M & M left around 5:30 because strange enough, College Station had school on Monday. Very weird. We stayed through dinner and watched American Ninja Warrior with the Marsh family before heading home.
Our Monday was spent eating lunch with a couple from Sugar Creek. We were so excited someone finally invited over to their house for a meal. We've been longing for some connection (besides our wonderful family) and one couple did. They are in their early 30's and have 3 kids: Jude is almost 6 in Kindergarten, Emily is 4 and Ben is 20 months. Our kids got along great with their kids and the time we spent with them was really nice. The rest of our day was relaxed and pretty lazy. We need those days every once in a while, right?!
