Cabin Fever/ Labor Day

This week began with me trying to find a condo/hotel or a beach we could do a quick family vacation to. It was very last minute though, but with all that had been going on the past week; I was really wanting to just go somewhere and relax and spend some family time. Everywhere I called was booked and now I am so glad we stayed home and saved our money.

As most of you know Tropical Storm Lee came to our area and we have been in the house since Friday watching it rain and watching the wind blow. Our church was cancelled Sunday so we didn't even get out Sunday. The rain stopped for a little while Sunday morning so we were able to go out in the yard for a bit and let Reid run and Justin picked up all the limbs that were knocked down.

We have watched lots of movies, I have slept a lot. I ended up getting a cold this weekend; another reason why it was good that we didn't go out of town. Justin and Reid played a lot with his cars and made ramps for the cars to jump. They have had a great time.

I told Justin Monday we are going out. I didn't care if it was raining or not I wanted to get out of the house. We ended up going our for lunch and then to several stores where we ended up getting an early start on buying Reid's Christmas. Last year he was so young and our circumstances were so different that we didn't really get Reid much for Christmas.  I am also afraid that something will happen and we won't be able to Christmas shop with me being due during that time. 

It was so much fun buying his Christmas stuff and talking about how we were going to do Christmas morning.

When we got home the temps had dropped down to 77 degrees and we were in pure bliss so we stayed outside and let Reid ride his tractor. Reid has never gotten the hang of it till now.  He figured out with his foot how to make it go, but has not got the steering down yet. 

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day. 

He looks just like his granddaddy in this picture to me. Reid is long over due for a hair cut so this makes him look even more like his granddaddy.
