Labor Day plus odds and ends...

Over Labor Day weekend, Grandma C. was going to Phoenix by herself and wanted some company.  So she asked if she could take the 3 older kids.  Juliet and Maxine didn't want to go at first, because of the long car ride, but Grandma talked them into it.  So off they went and Merril, Mikayla and I spent the most serene weekend at home.  There was no mess, no whining, no yelling, just peace.  We've dubbed it our second honeymoon.  We went to the lake for a bit on Labor Day to swim.  Then came home, rode the wiggle car, and grilled some hot wings.

The rest are just some pics I had on my phone.  Mikayla started riding front facing.  She's my most petite of all the kids and has only recently surpassed 20 pounds.

Pretty girl!

Maxine was a lunch lady at school.  ;)  She said it was fun.  She's liking 5th grade, and well, all the kids are liking their teachers.  Juliet seems to be the most satisfied.  In Kindergarten, she complained of being bored a lot.  Now she seems to be enjoying school a lot more in 1st grade, which is good.

And that is all for now.
