we sure did fill it with a whole lot of goodness.
game Night
ginger-ale (gotta get it even) and popcorn
Rummy-Q and Guess Who
see Janey's clown...perfect!
Daddy was a teacher
I was a kangaroo...perfect again!:)
the weather could not have been better for our Saturday morning trip to the Farmers Market
we got all the essentials in my book
kettle corn
soy candles
and the fixins for homemade salsa
while Dave started working on the laundry room bench
the girls and I took a scooter and wagon ride
we finished with some backyard fun
we moved our old laundry room bench to the family room
Aubrey likes setting up her friends on it
oh...and climbing up on it herself too
uh-oh
Saturday Dave and the girls camped out in the backyard
the night was gorgeous
cool and crisp
they had fun reading by lantern light
watching another episode in the "Lamby Series" (don't ask...silly show put on by Janey, but only in tents)
star gazing
telling stories
laughing
snuggling
getting wet from the tarp left off to star gaze
warming up with early morning hot chocolate
while Dave and Riley went grocery shopping,
Janey and Aubrey had some silly indoor camping fun
who is that cutie in disguise??
we had our good friends over Sunday night for delicious homemade pizza
wish I had taken more pictures of the pizza (I live with an amazing pizza maker)
but I was too busy keeping everyone happy and fed
the kids had a great time being silly and going on scavenger hunts
isn't it funny...our best friends have 3 boys and we have 3 girls!
we spent our last long weekend day at a Forest Preserve near-by
the water was an amazing color
we walked out on the dock and along one of the nature paths
it was a great day
today it is Tuesday
the weekend is over and everyone returns to school
Dave is taking one more day off
so we get a lunch date!
Hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend
Enjoy the day,
Cindy
looks like a busy and fun filled weekend

Can I tell you how jealous I am of your kids in jackets? It was 86 when I went riding this morning--at 5 AM.
