Labor Day

Dearest Joshua David and Grace Elizabeth~

Happy Labor Day!  This is an American federal holiday that occurs on the first monday of September each year.  Daddy had off from work!  Woo hoo!

Grace, you fell asleep next to me in bed again last night.  I'm not sure how to get you into your own bed again.  Hummmm.

Guess what .... everyone had some cereal with breakfast this morning!  Yippie!  Joshua, I like how you're eating more solid food in the morning.  After breakfast, we played downstairs with the blocks.  You all made more tunnels for the trains.  :-)

We got ready by mid morning and headed over to Mimi's and Grandpa Mike's for lunch.  We also saw Uncle Brennan (Aunt Katie was working).  Joshua, you ate well (with daddy's help).  Grace, you didn't eat much at all.  :-P

We tried to go to the mall afterward to stretch our legs.  We drove around for a parking space but it was too crowded.  So, we drove home instead.  Grace, you fell asleep in the van and continued to nap once home.  Joshua played and then napped later.  I actually fell asleep with Grace.  :-P

You two helped cook a good dinner!  We cut up steak, onion, garlic, carrots, corn, and spinach.  Then, we sautéed it all with stir fry sauce and rice ..... yummm!  I also had spinach salad to be healthy.  You two didn't eat much of your chicken for dinner though.  :-P

Afterward, we all helped clean the downstairs.  We straightened the kitchen and vacuumed everywhere.  Then, we played downstairs.  It started to rain this evening with thunder and lightning. 

We came upstairs and watched Dora once we were done.  At 8:45pm, we started to get you two ready for bed and you both wanted something to eat!  Ugh!  So, you both were eating dinner at 9pm!  You two weren't in bed until 9:40pm.  Let's eat dinner at dinner time for now on ok?  That was so frustrating for daddy and I. 

Grace, you noodled next to me in bed again .... my little roommate.  It was 10:30pm and Joshua was still awake.  He ended up in our bed too .... daddy and I were too exhausted to move either of you.  :-P

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so much!
