Labor Day 2008

WE HAD A VERY NICE AND RELAXING LABOR DAY WEEKEND TOGETHER. THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND STORMY AT THE SAME TIME. THE KIDS THOUGHT THEY NEEDED TO BE LITTLE NUTS AND DO SOMETHING WE REALLY SHOULDN’T LET THEM DO – FLOAT PLASTIC BAGS IN THE WIND STORM. WHEN JORMA WAS SMALL WE WOULD TAKE A FEW SUPERMARKET BAGS AND LET THE WIND CARRY THEM UP OR IN CIRCLES OR WHEREVER AND THEN TRY TO CATCH THEM. HE LOVED THIS. WELL MY LITTLE SILLIES WERE JUST LAUNCHING THEM UP AND AWAY INTO THE STORM. THEY WERE JUST HOOTIN AND HOLLERIN SO JAY AND I JUST GOT A KICK OUT OF BASICALLY LITTERING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH BAGS. SO BAD! WHO KNOWS WHERE MOST ENDED UP BUT LOTS WERE IN OUR NEIGHBORS YARD SO WE GATHERED THEM LATER. IT WAS GOOD FUN! BUT WE PROBABLY NEED KITES INSTEAD.
ALLISON LOVES PLAYING SOCCER SO WE GOT A NEW RED BALL JUST FOR HER AND SHE’S GOOD AS YOU CAN SEE. SHE LOVES TO LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY FLOWERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOO SO WE HAD FUN AT THANKSGIVING POINT VIEWING THEIR BEAUTIFUL GARDENS. THEN WE DID SOME ART PROJECTS WITH THE KIDS IN OUR DINING ROOM AND SEE OUR NEW DECORATION - A TREE LIMB THAT BROKE OFF IN THE STORM. YES IT’S SILLY AND THE KIDS LOVE IT. JORMA MADE SOME COOL PAPER AIRPLANES AND HAD A BALL FLYING THEM OUTSIDE. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A BUSY YET ENJOYABLE WEEKEND.
JAY DID AN AMAZING NEW DRAWING THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT ON CERAMIC TILE. HE’S SO TALENTED & CREATIVE.
