Unlike Memorial Day weekend where there have always been many traditions, Labor Day weekend has never really had any. There have been many years though, where I've been lamenting the fact that school is beginning again, and times I've been even down right sad about it. This year though, the kids already have two full weeks in, and it's a wonderful weekend because it feels like a BREAK...a very much needed break!
Thomas was able to spend most of the weekend with my sister and she took him to the Notre Dame victory over Temple on Saturday. How awesome is that? He had a blast. Andrew and I had a date night Saturday evening since it was just the older two. We stayed here in town and I was comfortable leaving them. We dined at a nice restaurant where I knew college students would NOT be...that was my primary goal. It was a little pricey, but I so desperately needed an evening with just Andrew to get away and not feel guilty about all the work that needs done at both houses.
Last evening was my favorite part of the weekend (besides sleeping in this morning). My best friend hosted our group of friends, and almost everyone of our group was there. There were a couple of spouses unable to attend, but we took a group picture and I'm so grateful to have a record of the evening. These people are the dearest friends I'll ever have in life, and I'm so very grateful for each of them.
Today is another unpacking/arranging day, and Robert has practice this evening. Hopefully we are no longer living in chaos soon!
