Labor Day...taking advantage of it

My family took advantage of the Labor Day weekend. It was so nice having a "normal" weekend of downtime with our family.

Saturday: K did a lot of yard work during the day (much needed...our yard was beginning to look as if no one lived here, but he just hasn't been home to do it). Saturday night we had some Alabama friends/neighbors over to watch the Tigers get "ROLLED" over. The food and fellowship were great, but I was very disappointed with the Tigers and their playing.


Sunday: We spent the afternoon (after church) hanging out and relaxing, and then we went to my parents for a cookout. The ribs and fixings were YUMMY!


Monday: We took CR to ride the train. Man was he excited. Riding the train is one of his favorite things to do. He could not wait for us to get there. Immediately after pulling off our road, he began..."is it a long way" (even though he knows exactly where it is and how to get there), and was beside himself the entire way there. It was then that I really realized that if and when we get to go to Disney, we can't tell him where we are going until we are there. We decided since we were taking the train, we would go see the Labor Day parade downtown. CR liked this, but it was really loud sometimes when the big trucks honked their horns, so we didn't stay for the entire thing. Chick-fil-A was our stop on the way home to take advantage of their "special". We sported our team logos to each get a box of free chicken tenders. This was great! We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the pool with neighborhood friends and ate leftovers from the night before for dinner.


I attempted to watch the Tennessee game with K, and made it to half time. I then decided to call it a weekend! I was totally refreshed from our weekend...it was so nice to have everyone in our family home, doing normal family things, and relaxing.

Below are some pics from Monday:
Cute parade act
CR stuffing his face with popcorn. What is a parade without popcorn huh?
"CR's train"...this is what he calls it. It is such great yet cheap entertainment for him.
CR decides he needs to pee pee at the train station. I guess I can't complain. At least he is not wetting his pants. What am I going to do with a girl? I am so used to him being able to just pull his pants down and go.

Dada and CR wait on the parade to come our way.
CR gets a better view of the parade!
Oh no...the trucks are honking their horns!

I thought this was too cute!


All decked out in our school pride ready for the game weekend...CR needed to be wearing Clemson but K and I had a deal and that was part of it (long story...have to explain in another post). Anyway, the deal is off so both my kids can wear Clemson!
CR's favorite seat on the train...the first seat on the right, so he can see the "engineer" and the track.
CR checking out the parade.

Sorry...another tractor pic. This was one of the few "good" things in the parade. I was very disappointed. It was mostly politics.
