Wonderful and productive labor day weekend

Wow - is the long weekend over already?

We had a GREAT weekend. Brian and I only worked 1/2 day on Friday, which gave us the afternoon to prepare for the weekend. RJ, Lyn, and Lylah arrived around 6:15, and we all enjoyed fajitas on the patio for dinner. Afterwards, we played Wii, and just enjoyed the evening, until Lyn and I fell asleep on the couches...then it was time for bed.
Saturday we were up early (with an 18 month old, sleeping in doesn't happen), and made ham, eggs, and toast for breakfast. The Willingers left around 10:30 to head to Louisville for a family get together that afternoon. Brian and I spent the afternoon running errands - TSC, Sam's Club, then off to BabiesRUs to add things to our registry. We made some good progress - just need to figure out the car seats and stroller, then we'll be pretty well set. After BabiesRUs, we stopped at Frisch's for milkshakes, then at Walmart to check out their baby department. We were home around 6, and needed a nap! The rest of the evening was researching car seats, and resting after a very productive Saturday.
We got up early on Sunday and went to 9:00 mass. After a quick stop at the grocery, we headed home and had an early lunch. After lunch, Brian stirred up cookies while I threw chili in the crockpot for dinner. The Willingers arrived back here around 3:30 - plenty of time to eat dinner before heading to the fireworks. We headed downtown around 5:30 to check out Riverfest...and had a lot of fun. Never realized how many people invade downtown!
Lylah made friends in the parking lot with some very sweet boys who let her play football with them, and also with the "neighbors" who shared their glow toys. Lylah enjoyed the fireworks, but got a little bit bored about 3/4 the way through. Parking was perfect though - as it only took us 1/2 hour to get home from downtown!
Today was a very lazy day. We had cereal for breakfast, then just visited the rest of the morning. Heated up a bunch of leftovers for lunch, then everyone (including Brian) were gone by 2:30. I spent the afternoon catching up on Y&R, and resting from the weekend.
It's back to work tomorrow, but then Brian will be home tomorrow night. Hope to have a productive week getting things cleaned out and rearranged in the house to accommodate the babies. Wish us luck!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and we get to see or hear from you soon.

Love,
Kate
