Finally catching up with friends we haven't seen in way too long - that was our Labor Day weekend.  It was so good to catch up and watch the kids wear each other out.  It's hard to imagine that in a few months, our crew of seven will become a crew of TEN - as we add a Deedle and they add twin girls to the mix.  Six kiddos and only four adults... we are going to be heavily outnumbered!

*thanks Kellie for the first photo - love it.

Michael finally had a weekend off.
Both days and a short day on Friday.

It was nice to do very little have-to's...
and doing a lot of want-to's.

Trips to the science museum and the best coney dog shop.
Listening to a new podcast and folding laundry.
Sleeping in and reading books.
Laying on the couch and the living room floor.
Talking about Christmas and making Thanksgiving plans.
Eva deciding she now likes pizza...
and eating it picnic-style on the floor.
Theo and Daddy watching the Buckeyes.
Picking up a Thanksgiving ham and catching up on Madmen.
Thinking up Christmas gifts ideas and plotting tree decorating.

A very good weekend.
