labor day weekend











Labor day weekend was really good to us. It would have been fun to take off somewhere for one last trip to officially end summer, but we really are such big homebodies. Going out during the day and coming home to cuddle at night is definitely a favorite here. We had a good weekend!

Rudger has been begging to move his mattress to the top bunk so we decided to make it happen. (He's the only one in that room and we have been meaning to sell the bunk bed and get a full size bed instead, but it just hasn't happened.) The kids thought it was the greatest! It made  my heart happy to see our two year old up to our 14 year old all playing together for a solid 20 minutes :)

We forced a family bike ride. It took forever to get all the bikes together and there were several flats that Justin quickly fixed, then we had a couple brothers crash into each other at the beginning, most of them complained most of the way, but we were determined to make this ride happen. 

We watched a movie downstairs (my favorite is watching a movie down there after we have the whole basement perfectly clean ♥♥) I ended up working on primary program stuff during the movie.

Adeline and I pulled out some fall colors for church. These cooler nights make me extremely happy!

Fast Sunday is when we have our typical roast, potato, and rolls dinner. It's one of our favorite days of the month!

Adeline LOVES her daddy right now ♥♥

We forced another bike ride, but this time we went to the school and played wall ball together. They were much much happier this time! :)

Justin and I got up early in the morning on Labor day and tried going on a trail run. It ended up being mostly a hike on the way up and a jog on the way down trying really hard not to fall. It was steep, hard, 6 1/2 miles, and I was ornery at parts. But when we got back to the car, I was so happy we did that together!! Having older kids to stay home and watch our babies so that we can spend some good time together has been so nice. But it is oh so good to get home to all those kids of ours ♥♥♥

We had a very good Labor day.
