Summer is over :(

Well, you are probably checking in on us to see what fun we had over Labor Day weekend, so we'll fill you in on our simple but fun weekend. We swam, we ran through sprinklers, we walked around. We climbed the maze, we jumped into balls. We laughed, we cried, and we scolded Madeline when she was rough with Henry (see exhibits A and B below). We made some enchiladas, baked a pizza, and ate some "Old McDonalds." We weeded, cleaned the house, made some messes, and tried to clean them up. We watched Madeline put together big girl puzzles, play computer games, and write out her name for the first time -- all by herself. (Mommy teared up with pride to realize that her little girl is actually writing her name!!! and Daddy laughed at Mommy.) We bought Mommy's favorite childhood book (The Monster at the End of this Book ... featuring Grover -- those were the days before Elmo even existed), and read it over and over again to Madeline, who loved it just as much as Mommy does. We watched Henry bounce his ball, resist all forms of baby food, and stuff his face with big boy food. We comforted poor Henry as 2 new teeth popped through. We watched the movie Michael Clayton, and actually thought it was decent enough.



All in all, it was a quiet weekend but we enjoyed the time together as a family. It's sad to realize it's September already and summer is over, but, then again, Nathan is ready for football season. Hope you all enjoyed your 3-day weekend as well!
