I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday weekend! I actually relaxed quite a bit, despite being pretty busy. Checking in with this week’s Monday Musings edition – like always feel free to just look at the pretty pictures and skip over the text if you’re pressed for time!
Amber turns…well…she had another birthday.
My sister from another mister had yet another birthday this past Saturday. These things are starting to turn into annual events. While this birthday was nowhere near as eventful as last year’s celebration (for one thing – there was no car accident this year) we had a blast going to dinner and a movie. More celebrations, in the form of going to see a performance of Wicked, are on tap. In the meantime – here’s her pretty face.
Apple Picking
I decided that it would be a great idea to go apple picking with all my boys yesterday. Apple picking with the boys looks a lot like me picking apples and the boys playing catch with the drops.
Regardless, we got a pretty good bounty of Cortlands. I’ve been getting into a crazy canning kick lately – so I might make some apple butter with them. Or pies. Or turnovers. Or this pretty awesome kid might just eat them all.
Grandpa’s Birthday
Sunday was also the annual celebration of my Grandpa’s birthday. He and Amber actually share the same day, but we usually have a big two day cookout Labor Day weekend with my family to celebrate Grandpa. This year he’s 82 years young! While it was pretty low key compared to past years (clambakes, belly dancers, you name it – we’ve rocked it) it was a nice get together and I can’t wait for next year’s! It was also one of the last cookouts of the year we’ll have.
So…what did you do this weekend? Hit me up in the comments!
