labors of a weekend

How did you celebrate the unofficial end of summer?  Our Labor Day Weekend, this year, was spent building a playyard/playscape.  My mom got this thing for the kids and it sat in the garage for a while after we realized that there were 999 bajillion pieces.  Papa made it a goal to finish this thing by the end of the weekend.  And he did!

Obviously, the kids are big fans.  As our some of the other kids int he neighborhood.  It was a slowgoing process, should you want a glimpse of it, Papa put together this video for your viewing entertainment.  To see it bigger, go to flickr.

let's pretend it's spring!

We haven't done anything terribly exciting lately (obviously, or I certainly would have talked about it).  Since things were so quiet here on our little corner of the internet, I figured it was time to do something.  So the Pups and I had a "let's pretend it's spring!" adventure (it coincided very well with Papa's need to pretend that a weekend day was a work day, ahem). 

 We had fun.  No surprise, considering we were playing outside.

Tons more shots in flickr!
