Labor Day Adventures

Here are some highlights from our Labor Day weekend:

• A better than normal day at the Farmers Market and at our store
• A nice day at church with Primary kids that actually sang with me during singing time
• A yummy Sunday dinner
  
• LOTS of family time playing dominoes, playing Sam's little fishing game, having tickle fights, reading stories, etc.
• free movie rentals from the library (I recently discovered that you can look online on the library's website for movies, place a hold on them, and then just go pick them up when they're ready. It's so easy, and you can get nice movies for free and keep them for one week! Some of them have a long hold time--I'm still number 20 in line waiting for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but that's okay. All the others came quickly and I ended up getting five of the movies I requested all at once. The only one we didn't get to this weekend was the new Indiana Jones movie. I've always loved the library for good French films, but now I can get cool new releases too!)
• Haircuts by me for both Chris and Sam (and may I add, they look so handsome!)
• A bus ride down to Seattle
• A visit to the Seattle Aquarium
• Afternoon naps
• And I squeaked in a tiny bit of bookkeeping--I had to labor just a little bit, I couldn't help it.

Here are some pictures of our trip to the aquarium (by Eliza's request).

Walking down from the bus stop to the aquarium. In the background you can see Pike Place Market, and just down from there is the aquarium. We had typical Seattle weather--cool and rainy. I like it! I think it's cozy!

We also saw an octopus that was really quite ugly. But did you know that they can change colors? This one did! We also saw sea otters that Sam always likes.

So really I guess our weekend was pretty low key, but it was nice to spend lots of quality time together as our little family.
