labor day weekend 2010

we haven’t stayed home for a 3-day weekend in YEARS.  so we decided to give it a whirl this labor day weekend and i have to say it was kinda nice.

simply not having to pack & un-pack was fabulous.

we did get quite a bit done on saturday as far as a few projects & errands.  but the rest of the weekend was saved for FUN. 

here’s some of the FUN:

. lots of swimming

. sunday afternoon on the front lawn.  it’s BEARABLE [and actually quite nice] outside which we’re loving.

. since we usually go to the cabin – wes and nate decided to build their own at home.

. my favorite part?  taking nate bowling for the first time.  other than nate crossing the line and falling on his head – he loved it.  and i’m a little embarrassed to say that he almost beat me.  the only reason he didn’t was i let him bowl my last one and he got me a spare without the bumpers!

It was a nice, relaxing weekend at home with our little family!

Staying at home is always a nice break...we love doing the trips too, but it is very nice not having to pack/unpack, get your kids off their schedules and relax!

that looks like the perfect STAYcation. we headed to brian head, which was awesome, but i spend as many days packing and unpacking and cleaning up as i do on the trip!

What a little poser you have there! Such a spunky little personality that one has!
