Labor Day Weekend

We had a jam packed, super - fun Labor Day weekend. Aaron worked a ton the week leading up to Labor Day and had a big meeting on Friday and as soon as it was over he started the long weekend early. 

Brookey has a best friend, its Cadence and she is so much fun. We do some trading off with the girls for playdates and when Cadey was here it was cool enough to take a walk together to see the guinea hens. Cadey is so sweet. 

We my kids got invited to a Harry Potter party. We got a hand delivered invitation by an "owl". The invite was unbelievable and even though our kids have never read or seen Harry Potter, they still thought it was pretty cool. 

Brooke and Spencer are loving playing together. Brooke likes to dress up like a princess and marry Spencer. 

You have to twirl to get married. :)

Aaron decided to surprise the kids for lunch since he took off early. They were so excited. 

Saturday morning we had birthday party #1. It was Camilla's best friend, Jane. Oh man my girls were so excited for this. She invited Brookey to come along as well. They watched a movie, ate popcorn and played. The girls were thrilled with it. They talked about it for days after. 

Then we went straight to party #2. 

The Harry Potter party was unbelievable. (Some day my kids are going to realize they don't get very fun parties :) 

The head magician taught them how to use their magic wands. 

Carson cast the spell perfectly. 

There were invisible walls, mermaid eggs, slime making and they each got sorted by taking a bite into cupcakes. It was a really fun party. They came home with bags full of goodies. 

We found our old soccer goal and got it out so Camilla could get ready for her soccer season to start. 

Camilla, of course, taking care of Spencer while they play. 

On Sunday I got the girls all ready. I blow dried their hair and put on their matching dresses and got everyone to church on time. Bam! 

Oh how I love this face. 

I so love this hair. 

Carson and Camilla were playing a game together and Camilla got hurt. Carson immediately took care of her and got her settled on the couch. Camilla told Carson to keep playing and she would just watch him. Then Carson said, "or I could just lay down with you until you feel better." It was a tender moment and I had to document it. 

Labor Day was a blast. Aaron and I went for runs, Aaron took the kids to play tennis and he got to play tennis as well. I went to the gym and did a kick boxing class that I haven't done in forever. We got the back yard all ready and then had friends over to swim and cook out. It was a blast, yummy food, snow cones, the fire pit and the kids swam the whole time. It was such a fun night. 

And ta - da! Our Labor Day weekend project was getting our new garage shelf up and getting our garage organized. It looks so beautiful. I am so happy to have this project done. We got our shed all cleaned out and now I can get started on redoing the shed!
