Well, another summer has passed and the kids start school in 2 days. Can't believe the girls will be in Kindergarten! Heather got a job at a day care....gets to bring Jared and Josh (when he doesn't have school). Will be great for all of them! Speaking of Jared and Josh....love this picture Heather sent me!
I laughed so hard when I saw this! They have dirt every where!!! And then Josh holding himself tops it! Too funny!!!! These are our original dirtclod boys!!!! The other two were transplants! lol!!!!We had a great and busy day yesterday. We met Amanda in Silverdale so the kids could get a few school clothes. She found some really cute stuff and good deals! Then we had lunch at Wendy's. Next, we went over and I showed her my gym. She liked it! Then the kids and I went and picked up Maddie and Dylan and we all came here and played. We went on the back deck and all shot the BB gun at targets and cans. That was fun. Lauren and Maddie got bored but the boys had fun! Then I took the kids to Teal Lake and looked around and took pictures. Andrew & Lauren have never been there. Then we drove down by the bridge and loaded up on blackberries! We're making a pie this morning! It was fun! Papa had chicken fettuccini alfredo ready for us when we got home! The boys and I played the clue game Dylan brought over. It has changed.....the house now has a Spa, livingroom, and Guest House....and the weapons now include poison and a bat!!!! I guessed and was wrong...so I lost. Dylan guessed and was wrong but he tried to backtrack and guess again..... insisting it is legal! So we ask mom today. Apparently she is the ultimate judge and authority on clue. He said since it doesn't say in the rules you can't guess again....you can! We're not playing again until Karla lays down her decision. It was a great night, though. Today we're going out to the lake again! Papa and I have the whole day off. Meghan called yesterday and is talking about coming over to work on wedding stuff, too. Well, hope your day is long and filled with good things!
What's Ahead: A nice Labor Day with sun this afternoon following some morning clouds and a little fog. Cool ocean air will keep highs in the 60s.
A weakening cold front comes in Tuesday. That will increase the chance of light rain over Seattle in the afternoon, although most of the storm activity will go north. Other than some left-over clouds Wednesday morning, we're in for more sunshine the rest of the week with some clouds mixing in from time to time. Highs warm back into the 70s.
Oh, and Happy Labor Day! Ever wonder what Labor day is? Here is what the Farmers Almanac says:
September 1—Labor Day
Always the first Monday in September, Labor Day was the idea of Peter J. Maguire, a labor union leader who in 1882 proposed a celebration honoring the American worker. At his suggestion, 10,000 workers held a parade in Union Square, New York City, and followed it with political speeches, fireworks, and a picnic. The date chosen was simply “convenient,” according to Maguire, because it was midway between the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Although the day’s focus on organized labor has diminished over the years, the legal holiday still marks the end of summer and the traditional time for children to return to school.
