As the title indicates, we had a fun weekend; and I have no pictures because the phone on my Blackberry is malfunctioning. And I'm too lazy to take and upload photos with the "real" camera. Jason took some on his phone, so I'll have to get them emailed to me.
This week I took off Tuesday and Thursday as my Labor Day holidays (we had Friday and Monday of actual Labor Day weekend as holidays, but I had to work both days). I enjoyed some retail therapy on Tuesday including a mani and pedi (ironically running into the woman I sit next to at work who was also enjoying her Labor Day holiday). Thursday the only shopping I did was at a neighbor's for a Lightning McQueen bike for Will! This is the same gal that I bought the tricycle from last year. When I went over a few weeks ago to go through her boys' fall clothes pre-neighborhood garage sale, she told me about the bike. She wasn't expecting her youngest to outgrow it until spring, but at 4 1/2 he's already riding his older brother's bike without training wheels! $35 later and the Cars bike is ours! Will rode it tonight for the first time. He didn't "get" that if the pedals went backwards there were brakes. The result was that he's try to coast, and would jerk to a stop.
Yesterday our neighbors had their second annual (well, second year we were invited at least!) "Grape Stomp" which is a combination of games, potluck dinner, and wine tasting For the second year in a row, the wine we brought won. This year's winning entry was Josh cabernet sauvignon. I'd never tried it before Saturday, and I agree it was the best on the table. Jason said he's just got a knack for picking out good, cheap wine!
Today we ventured to the north suburbs for a cookout at a co-worker's house. Will was very popular with the other 3 and 4 year olds in attendance, as he brought his Elmo backpack full of trains. They played in the corner of the yard for quite awhile. I never realized how close in age my peers' kids all are. We had 9 little kids and five were 3 year olds.
