Labor Day 2007

Should be another beautiful day her in Chanhassen.
84 degrees and partly cloudy.
We are going to have Pete's family over today for an early dinner
of marinated chicken on the grill, some fruit and maybe
some squash. (I LOVE squash!)

So, yesterday the Shakopee Craig's came over along with
Kindra's mom and step dad for an afternoon at the pool.
We are all sitting around or in the pool when Kiki (thats
what the kids call Kindra) and Owen walk out and he has a
t-shirt on that says big brother. I yell WHAT! Yep, Kiki is pregnant
and due the beginning of February! She has known since May!
I said you B*tch! How could you keep it to your self so long!
Needless to say, we are all very happy! It was fun that Kiki's
mom and my mom found out at the same time.


School starts tomorrow and I have made a tradition of making
home made choc. chip cookies on the 1st day of school.
When I put Benji on the kindergarten bus 10 years ago.
I totally lost it! Started bawling! Went in the house and called
Jenny (Hi Jen) who had already put her 1st kid on the kindergarten bus.
She calmed me down and said soon I would be out running errands
and have to fly back home to find my child off the bus and walking
home already. Sure enough that did happen. With all three of my
kids no less. Any way after talking with Jen I made Benji cookies
and now I do it every year and the kids really look forward to it.
So yesterday I went to the store and got the choc. chips so I am ready to go.

One day of summer left and off to school!
(Does not make me cry anymore)
Enjoy your day!
