Labor Day Weekend Recap
How do? It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do. I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline. Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday. I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad. I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges. Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them. Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem.

The food was out of this world. Even the s'mores were awesome despite the mishap with that contraption. Great weekend but yes I definitely need some rest!

ReplyDeleteHubby pulled muscles in his back and stomach last week, so we didn't do much this weekend since he's still healing. I did some housework and spent a lot of time sleeping catching up from the lack of sleep over the last few weeks of school.
We are leaving Thursday to go cabin camping in the mountains though so next weekend will more than make up for this one.
Yeah, it's one to chalk under the "better in theory than in practice" on that one. I think we're giving it one more shot but basically the chocolate just turns to goo and oozes out everywhere. *rolling eyes*
DeleteHope hubby gets to feeling better soon and sometimes sleep is just what you need. Have fun in the mountains!
