Labor Day Weekend

Saturday we spent the day praying I would not get called in!!! I called up to work and it was steady busy, so I got dressed just in case. I was blessed and did not get called in!!!!

We decided after the boys morning nap, to pack up and head to the local Farmers Market. We held the boys because they aren't liking their car seats much these days. We loaded up on all kinds of goodies: green beans, cucumbers, cantaloupe, tomatoes, peaches, plums and habanero raspberry jelly! We made it to the car and got the boys buckled up just as it began to rain!



Football season has begun and I am so excited!!! Our Texas Tech Red Raiders had their first game against Sam Houston State University and we met Uncle Brent at BJs to watch it! The LPs did great even though the game was in the middle of their nap time. At half time, we packed up and headed to the casa to finish out the game and get the boys down for a quick nap. 




 






Luckily the Red Raiders won but we have a lot of work to do. Our defense is not top notch and that's going to get us into a world of hurt if we don't step up our game. 

Brent headed home and we got the boys up, played, fed them dinner and then bathed them before putting them down for the night. 

Nick and I started a movie called St. Vincent. Unfortunately we both fell asleep towards the end and we wanted to see it!!! 

Sunday we got up, made breakfast for the boys, went for a walk and then played until nap time. Rachael came over at noon to watch the LPs so Nick and I could have a date day. We went to Studio Movie Grill and saw No Escape. It was a heart wrencher and kept Nick and I both on the edge of our seats. It was a bit of a tear jerker too - especially now that we have kids. I couldn't help but put myself in their shoes. Definitely a good pick. 




We had Rachael for a little longer so we stopped at some open houses and looked around. Even though we are no longer in the market for a new house, we like getting decorating ideas! We also stopped by target because I needed new pump parts. While there we found the barstools we want as well as chairs for the kitchen table. Now we just need to order them. 

Knox was just waking up from his nap when we got home at 5 and Pierce was in the playroom with Rachael. We played and played and played until it was time for bed. 

Nick and I had wine and cheese night and watched Big Brother. We also were excited when we found St. Vincent was playing again and we finished out the movie while I worked on some stuff for the boys birthday party. 

Monday, we were all off for Labor Day. I woke up to use the bathroom around 6:45. I heard P stirring and thought it wouldn't be long until he was up so I went and started the coffee pot. At 8:45 I woke up in a panic. 8:45!!!! Are the babies ok??? I woke Nick up and we looked at the monitor. Both boys had one arm out of their wombies, paci's in their mouths and were fast asleep. Our sweet LPs slept until 10!!!! 

We got up, played, ate and got the boys ready to go. We headed to Dallas to look for stuff for the house. The LPs fell asleep in the car so we drove around for a while to let the nap. We then headed to Zgallerie, Crate and Barrell and then packed the boys up and headed to Northpark. Nick returned a shirt at Dillard's and picked up a sports coat he had tailored. 





Our good friends Jared, Kelly and their baby, Jackson met us for a late lunch/early dinner at Seasons 52. It was so fun getting the boys all together and having some grown up conversation. The LPs did great and threw back their cheese pizza like champs!!!!

The boys took a cat nap on the way home and when we got home, we fed them their oatmeal and bottles and off to dreamland they went. 

Nick and I watched some tv and then headed to bed. It was a perfect long weekend and we had a blast together!
