Labor Day Weekend.

We had a GREAT Labor day weekend.  Tony went into the doctor Thursday afternoon and after taking his prescription for 24 hours he was feeling much better--just in time for the weekend.  Perfect timing, right?  I was so glad he was feeling better.

Over the weekend we....

had a date.  We just started a date night co-op with some friends in our ward.  (there are 4 families, including us.  Each couple rotates watching everyone's children one Friday night a month.  So everyone gets 3 Fridays a month to go on dates) Friday night was our first date night and we snuggled up watching Despicable Me with McFlurry's (have you tried the new Rolo Mcflurry?  Go get one right now if you haven't!)  We're looking forward to getting out of the house, just the two of us, more often!

Saturday Charlie helped me make pizza.  He loved sprinkling on the cheese and sneaking pieces of dough.  He was so proud when it was finished!  Tony laid blankets down in the family room and we had dinner on the floor while watching Mama Mia.

 Sweet, sweet Joey

 

Afterwards we looked for fireflies.  Charlie runs around the backyard with his arms stretched out in front of him.  Not sure if he understands what we're doing or if he's just copying, but it's cute.

Sunday we had dinner with friends and being at their house made me realize that Charlie needs some play weapons (they have boys as well). We're tired of getting whacked with spatulas, vacuum cleaner extension rods, and all the other household objects he uses as swords and guns.  They hurt!  Maybe if we had some play swords it wouldn't be as painful? :)

On Labor day we went on a family run and played at the park.  Our first time running together.  It was a lot of fun to go together. We went to one of our favorite places....

 

This place is great because at the end of the trail there's a playground so Charlie is able to get out and play after we're done.  Plus it's beautiful!

After a record breaking summer, we're finally having some cooler weather!  It is a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

It was a great labor day!
