Labor Day Weekend 09



The official end of summer is here. What a bummer. I love summer and all the outdoor fun. The boys and I got ready for our Labor Day Weekend visitors by getting the car washed. For some reason unknown to me, Reed HATES the carwash. As soon as we pull up to the line he starts crying. I have no idea why. I know it's cruel, but it's really funny. Here's a video of poor Reed's torment in the terrible carwash.


Jeff's aunt Karen, uncle Billy-Joe, their kids, Cody, Zack, and Henry, came down for Labor Day weekend. We had a blast. Karen and I got to sneak off to Swiss days in Midway. It was the coolest. Billy and Cody were nice enough to watch all the little ones. Here are Zack (top left) and Henry (bottom right) eating with the boys.





We went to the park with Karen and the kids. As Reed calls it "the big park". Grant LOVES to swing.




Reed is more of a slide guy.




It was fun to see how much they enjoy it now that they are soooooo mobile.





They have even got the hang of the horses. Reed can really make this thing rock. I'll try and get a video next time.



After Karen left on Monday we went to the gro-store for some dinner stuff and got the boys a balloon. They came down with a little cold on Monday and needed some cheering up. Nothing like a balloon to lighten our moods.
So Grant (and now Reed too) have this terrible cold with bad runny noses and gross eyes. Reed didn't seem to have it as bad as Grant. So Grant has been doing a lot of extra sleeping. Reed got to eat lunch with just mommy and had some funny things to say. It always strikes me how different it is to have just ONE baby to deal with and entertain. Reed love his "peanut butter sandwich".



Poor Grant just looked so bad. We ended up taking him into the doctor and getting him some eye drops. They were just oozing.



Poor baby would wake up with them crusted shut. The good news is that when Reed started developing the same problem we only had to call in the drops and pick them up. Hopefully we'll be better soon.

Both my boys come completely unglued whenever we go through the carwash. It's really terrible. It's so nice to know we are not alone!
