Labor Day Weekend in Pictures

The boys and I went on a little stroll on Friday afternoon.  They love our new double stroller, and so do I.

We had a nice little Labor Day weekend around here, beginning with Friday night.  Davis, Reece, G-Ma, and I went to our buddy Garrett's 2nd birthday bash at Pullen Park.  It was a great party and of course, Davis loves any reason to visit Pullen Park.  He rode the carousel (a horse this time), played on the playground, and almost rode the boats!  We love that place.  Unfortunately, there are no pictures to document this experience as I left my phone in the car.

Saturday, Nana came to pick up Davis and he spent the night with her and Papa.  He had a great time.  They played outside a lot, had spaghetti and meatballs for supper, and went to feed the ducks at Toisnot Park.

Davis fed the ducks two whole loaves of bread.

While Davis was gone on Saturday, Derek did a couple projects around the house; I went running solo for the first time in a long time; Reece and I worked on back carries; and Derek cooked us a delicious dinner on the grill.  It was a nice, relaxing night except for some fussiness on Reece's part that was all my fault.  I ate something with dairy in it, and Reece did not approve.  (You would think that eliminating dairy from my diet would be pretty simple...turns out, after 30 years of being able to eat whatever I want, it's quite an adjustment and sometimes I just plain forget!  I'm getting better though...)

BBQ chicken, grilled zucchini, and baked potato...yum!

We did it!  Reece was asleep in about 10 minutes.

On Sunday, we went out to Derek's parents' house to hang out and retrieve Davis.  Homeboy was t-i-r-e-d and slept from the time we hit Elm City (approximately 7:00pm) until 6:00am on Sunday.  He must've had lots and lots and lots of fun!

Grandaddy came on Monday morning and took the babies and me to the park where we played and had a picnic lunch.  I don't know who got more exercise, Davis or Grandaddy.  They did lots of races up and down the hills; it looked like a military training exercise to me!  We had a great morning out, and we can't wait to do it again soon.

They conquered the dragon!

Now it's Tuesday, and after all that weekend fun, we need to start thinking about what to do for the rest of the week!  I'm sure it won't be boring...
