Labor Day Weekend Highlights

• Joshua, Ashlyn and I went to see Kung Fu Panda at the dollar theatre
• We painted a wall in Jonathan's room Denim Blue (to match the accent wall on the opposite side of the room - I loved this color too much to have it only on one wall I guess)
• We re-arranged Jonathan's furniture to move in his play house from outside he loves so much and tried to be proactive for colder weather approaching soon
• After a day, we moved the house back outside because it took up too much room :( and moved it all again (different from the other 2 ways and added his Cars bedding he has had since Christmas - he is now using a pillow and sheet!)
• Re-arranged the boys furniture in their car room again and added an old Cd player for dancing time
• Hung new vertical blinds in the kitchen and horizontal blinds in the Car room
• Organized under both bathroom sinks and got rid of a trash bag of stuff we never used
• Fixed a broken handle on the Car room wardrobe (wanted to do this forever and always forgot)
• Hung lattice on the deck in one area we had never finished - then moved the gas grill away from the direct sunlight to help with rusting problem
• Started the new laundry room closet that will enclose the furnace and water heater (this project might take more time than I had planned, but at least we broke ground)
• Organized the girls closets and got rid of 2 bags full of clothes :)
• The girls went shopping at our favorite thrift store Labor Day sale and got tons of fall/winter clothing for $30 - all name brands and each about $1
• The boys went shopping for a new computer game John has been wanting (after hours of finding it and installing it, we do not have a graphics card that will make it work :( so that is still something John wants to do soon)
• So then the boys all played Sims for hours
• All 3 boys got sick Sat night with the sinus stuff the other 3 have had for a couple weeks - they were pretty miserable on Sunday - so we had to skip our Labor Day BBQ
• John was pretty excited about a new pico do gallo recipe (thanks for the idea Alicia) and made some black beans and good mexican food one night
• We did take quite a bit of naps too...thanks for sticking through that, I am sure I forgot something, but that is the gist of the weekend!
