Labor Day Weekend 2012

We had a great holiday weekend. We decided to stay around the house and just hang out. It ended up being fun and busy.

First up, was a birthday part for our besties, Reese and Riley. We had so much fun and got to see some of my other twin momma friends. We had so much fun it!

That evening, we made a trip to the hardware store to get branch trimmers. Our live oak tree's limbs were hanging over the sidewalk full of acorns. Everyone who walked by our house had to duck to avoid getting hit in the head. The girls liked watching Wes trim the branches and then helped by moving the branches to a pile.

He is fun to watch

 Sunday, we went to church. The girls wanted to wear their cowboy boots and new head bands. I got creative on Friday and made them some headbands. They were very excited to wear them (they wore some on Saturday too).

 After church and nap, we went to see a FC Dallas soccer game with our class from church. We had a great time! Soccer is a bit lost on me but Wes loves it. Gracie loved watching and clapped and cheered when other people did (even though she didn't know what she was cheering about). Lizzie, on the other hand, loved playing with her friends. We ate a ton of junk food - hot dogs, cotton candy, pretzels and pop corn.

We took up almost two rows!

 On Monday, we got a text from some of our church friends to meet up at a splash park. We met the Blackwells with sweet Chandler and baby Alysse. The big kids all had fun playing in the water. After the park, we went to lunch. It was a really fun morning.

After lunch, we went to the mall for a new outfit for the first day of school tomorrow. We made a record trip into and out of the mall. We usually don't get the rented firetruck stroller but I was considering it. As we were walking in, a family was walking out and asked it we wanted theirs. Of course, we said yes! It was great. The girls loved riding in it. 

For dinner, Wes and the girls went and picked up a pizza. After pizza was bath time and then heading to bed. Wes read a couple of stories, we all said prayers and then lights out.

Tomorrow is a big day for the girls. Its the first day of school. We start our new year of preschool.
