labor day weekend

so, august was pretty much the same as july.  a few crafts/activities with the kids, the library, a tupperware party, girl's night out, and kids' birthday parties.  fun, summertime, relaxed stuff - but no pictures.  i feel better when i tell myself that my lack of picture taking is just because it was summertime.  i'm taking more pictures now.  really, i promise!  (i'm feeling a little guilty about that statement.  i am taking a few more pictures, but really, i'm just remembering to ask dave to take them. :)

dave's brother and sil, sam and tanya, flew in for the weekend.  they came to visit before their big move to hawaii.  yup!  hawaii.  sam's going to school and working, and tanya is working and has an internship.  we're really excited for them and their fun adventure (and a little jealous!).  hopefully we can afford to go out and visit them.  we had a great time with them; i'm glad they stopped by before the move.  chris and naomi love spending time with their uncles and aunts.

they had to fly out monday, which was labor day, so we partied on saturday.  we went to a lake that's about 45 minutes away.  it was perfect!  my idea of a fun day.  great sand for sandcastles, roped off swimming area, picnic tables, and a playground.  it was pretty hot, though.  i was glad for my hat. :)
