Labor Day Fun

We had a nice relaxing labor day weekend. It's so great when Brian has a three day weekend. Now that summer is over, he doesn't have every other Friday off anymore. Bummer! We love those Fridays off. Above is a view of Simon I see quite frequently. His backside. While he plays the Wii. When Elaine and Co were here they got Simon the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games game. It is very cool, and every stadium is decked out exactly like the Beijing stadiums. Very fun! Simon got to have his buddy Romeo over on Saturday for some Wii time and of course, to toss the football back and forth. Those two had a blast! Simon and Romeo went to school together when Simon was in Kindergarten, and it turns out that Romeo's mom is a scrapper, so hello! Instant friendship! She also is an amazing cook. I've recently ordered one dozen of her breakfast burritos and one dozen of her beef and bean burritos. Can't wait! In other news, I've rejoined Weight Watchers. Ha! Something's wrong with this picture! :)

Nina sits and watches her brother play the Wii. She is so excited to be able to sit up, and she is quite proud of herself!



On Sunday, I took the kids to the park. Nina and I go almost everyday. She loves that swing! Well, she mostly loves to chew on it, but she does enjoy swinging as well.



Simon spends most of his time at the park sending his wrestling action figures down the slide, but he'll occasionally take a break to practice jumping out of the swing.



What Brian did while we were at the park:



Now don't go throwing a pity party for Brian. Working in the yard for him is like scrapbooking for me. He loves to fiddle around in the yard. Did you not notice all the flowers around the bottom of the trees? Yes, those are his babies. :) More soon!
