The Weekend Rundown

Labor Day weekend has been fun. I love holiday weekends like this one. And while I'm not loving that summer has decided to make its final stand before we (hopefully) get some fallish (low 90s) weather here, we still managed to enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately, I have zero pictures of all the fun. I need to get better at picture taking.

On Friday morning , in spite of a pulled back muscle, I stupidly drug all the furniture off the back porch and scrubbed it with a broom and soapy water. I actually enjoy doing this but don't recommend it when one is healing from an injury. Then I spent the afternoon baking and doing food prep for a party we were hosting on Saturday. In the midst of all the baking and cooking, I got our home study in the mail (thank you Jesus!), and so I had to run to the FedEx office to send it off. While I was doing all my crazy running around, my mom called and asked if we wanted to meet for dinner and seeing as how I had spent a large part of the day in the kitchen, I was all for it. So we went to dinner and then came back, and hung out in the backyard for a while.

On Saturday evening, we hosted a family shower for Patrick's cousin's baby (that's a mouthful) who was born in July. I think it's safe to say that everyone had a good time. The kids all seemed to enjoy themselves, and I'm always happy when there's a baby to be held.

Yesterday, we went to church, and then were incredibly lazy. The only productive thing I did was bake cookies for my parents' house today.

Today we had lunch with my parents, my grandparents, and my sister and her husband and son. My family makes a sport out of eating. Our holidays revolve around food. I know all the health experts say you should refocus your holidays so that food isn't the center . . . blah, blah, blah. Holidays = Eating. It ain't changing anytime soon.

So that's the rundown of our weekend. It flew by, but heat or no, it's September which is fall in my book, and cooler weather and the holiday season are just around the corner. I love this time of year.
