the shower...

i think i am coming to understand why they call this past weekend "labor day"....everyone looks forward to having an extra day off and relaxing and eating bbq...we ran around crazy, busy all weekend-and when we had down-time i felt like i needed to catch up on everything i had let fall by the wayside last week.....friday night we shopped for lainie's friend logan's birthday gift-i did take the kids to dinner at nachomama's-yum (chris was at the cabin for andy's bachelor party). no sleeping in on saturday-up at 7 am-getting ready for bradley's baseball tournament that morning and dropping lainie off at the party. out to ballwin for the game-then back to brentwood to pick lainie up-then back to ballwin to spend some time with grandma and sally and sarah who were staying at chris payne's house. -back to brentwood by 6 to drop lainie and bradley off at friends houses to spend the night, then tristan and i went to imo's for dinner and baskin robbins for dessert. sunday up for church-left service early to run bradley back out to ballwin for his tournament and then on to greensfelder park for andy and megan's shower...(which was great)




tristan...up to no good...we walked around the corner and he, noah and jacob were making mud and painiting the wall of the shelter with it...lainie was the water-fetching girl


it was a nice day and it was a beautiful shelter in the woods...we had fried chicken, chris payne's famous potato salad, fruit salad and an amazing chocolate cake...and then there were mini cupcakes and mona made these incredible lime tartlets. bradley won his first game of the day,-in fact he hit in the winning run!- so he and chris drove out to the shower for about 20 minutes and went back for the second game-they lost.

You had me at "chris payne's potato salad"...
That alone would have been worth the drive. SHOOT.
