togetherness

We had lots of togetherness this Labor Day weekend as we spent it all inside of our house waiting out tropical storm Lee. Other than David's trip on the roof (while tied with an extension cord to a tree as a harness) to fix a leak, it was pretty uneventful.

We are so thankful that the storm wasn't worse, and we actually made the most of our time together...





Lots of time was spent creating with Trio blocks...





And watching performances of very diverse repertoires including Justin Beiber, Bible songs, and some Taylor Swift...




While wearing pajamas, old dresses, and even bathing suits at times.... (wishful thinking since we had planned on spending the weekend swimming)...






We also watched several family movies, and all agreed Tangled was our favorite. We ate yummy white chicken chili (well, David and I did), I gave the girls (and myself) manicures and pedicures, we played games, I caught up on all of my ironing (miracle!), the girls played school and club....and Elise even made signage for the front door:





Poor Bennett.




This afternoon we finally ventured out and made a visit to Mimi and Grandpa's; and for dinner we went to SuSu and G's for her famous roast beef po-boys.

We are glad the weather has cleared and Elise is looking forward to going back to school tomorrow..



Thankful for a safe and quiet weekend together.
