Labor Day Weekend

Four day weekends are always nice. We get four days of Landon/Daddy time and I can tell Grant loves it. Friday: Landon played golf and I scrapbooked with friends at night. Saturday: birthday party in the morning then watched BYU football with Bailey's. Sunday: church.

This is what we did today - Labor Day and 1st day of September:

I worked on and finished my Larry album in the morning. Grant played well by himself like such a good boy - which actually means he got into everything he get his hands on and made some huge messes, but he was happy and that's all I needed! Not 100% done, but close enough-here are just a few pages in this 6x6 album.The three of us went to the pool - which we thought would be so packed because of the holiday, but actually it wasn't at all. We played in the little kid pool then all splashed around in the big pool.

And since no one I know has done something so evil & terrible that they deserve to see me in a swimsuit, there are no pictures of me in a swimsuit, but to prove I was here you get my feet.

We rented some movies and watched those together this afternoon, then Landon cooked up some wonderful salmon on the grill. I've been wanting to try this freezable chocolate chip cookie recipe from this website called Freeze Happy. It makes a huge batch and we baked a few, then froze the rest for later. Grant was such a great helper and he especially loved to help by turning on the Kitchen Aid. We had lots of fun together and it will be even more fun when he's big enough to stand on a chair and help me.

he loved controlling the mixer...

...and pouring in the flour

of course you must clap for yourself when you are done...

...and give your mommy a big squeeze

Now heaven help me to stay out of the cookie dough - it's for cookie emergencies only!
