    Stayed home, hung out with the grandkids and am grilling some steaks. It was a quieter than usual day, and that’s a good thing!

    Family movie night on Friday. Does it count as “family” movie night if Hubby and eldest child were in one theater, while youngest and I were in another theater? Read almost all day on Saturday. (OMG, such an indulgent feeling.) Bought new shoes for my ever-growing 13 year old on Monday, followed by DVDs with both kiddos on a rainy Monday.

    I picked up a rental car after my 18-year old daughter got into a car accident with my car. She also broke her phone and I’m in bed, sick with a cold. Can’t wait for this weekend to be over!

    I was able to dig my way through paperwork and find my dining room table! I then unearthed the piano bench, truly a successful weekend! I also made some jam and visited our local farm stands.

    I made cupcakes on Saturday for a friends son birthday, spent Sunday with my Dad and today I participated and went to a charity event for a dear friends son that is battling a rare form of cancer. It was truly a beautiful event and I was so glad I could help.

    Saturday took my 7 year old grandson (with his Cub Scout Troop) and his 2 sisters to Camp Shelby to tour the military museum and eat lunch in the mess hall with the soldiers. He had a blast. Sunday just relaxed all day. Then today, Labor Day, went to my daughters and lunch out in the yard under the oak tree. The food was delicious and we all had a great time.

    I’m a middle school teacher so this weekend consisted of: lesson plans, grading. My dad flew in for a visit and to meet his newest granddaughter (4mo old) and played with my other 2 kids at the AK state fair. I’m exhausted. Wish my baby slept more than 4 hours straight… I could really use the sleep!

    We went to a Labor Day picnic in my hometown. I only make it there a couple times a year, they have fried fish and chicken. So good and I get to see old classmates/friends. Other that that, we are just relaxing with family. I’m off tomorrow and we are going to make homemade eggs rolls!!!

    My family worked all weekend, so I started too many small projects and didn’t really finish any of them. Spent most of today trying to clean up my “multipurpose” room; getting readyin to rearrangemake and paint in there so it can become what I want it to be: my cookbook library! Sure would love to add yours to the collection 🙂
