Labor Day Weekend

So I took Friday off of work...and had Monday off...so I had a four day weekend and it still wasn't long enough!

Friday was when the Hurricane was supposed to come but that was a bust.  Nothin but a LITTLE bit of rain.  So we picked up our Jeep, after having to bring it to the shop for like 3 days due to an Electrical Problem where our whole dash was not working...and we couldn't tell how fast we were going, what our mileage was, nada.  Anyhow, we picked it up and Hubs went to pick up J while Baby Girl and I cleaned, which means going through TONS of boxes we had at other people's house while we have moved around for the past five years (LOL, we have ALOT of junk)!  Then Friday Night, I took the kids over to my friend's house where J experienced some of Titantic (edited for TV so no nudity..) for the first time...although we never finished it...

Saturday, we woke to a BEAUTIFUL day...so we decided we would take a trip to Acton to the Discovery Museums (there is a Children's Museum and, on the same property, a Science Museum)...Might I add, it was part of the FREE Friday thing the State worked out with various locations....Although, it was the last week of the Freebies, so they decided to do a wrap up with Saturday also.  The Discovery Museums were one of 10 places that were free around the state, although if you were there with me...you would have thought the Museum was the only place open.  IT WAS INSANE.  We never even made it inside...as the Children's portion was on number 140-ish, our ticket read 238 (they told us we probably won't even make it in)...and our Science ticket was like 138, they were only at 35 and both were only open another 2-2 1/2 hours.  Needless to say, it was so beautiful outside and they had a few outdoor things (bubbles, a sand box)...we check those out and then went back on our hour car ride home. That was a wasted day, at least the scenery of the trip was beautiful. Someday, maybe on a discounted day, I would love to go back (I could never do both on the same day at the prices they charge). 

Sunday, we spent some cleaning/some visiting family.

Monday, More Cleaning (and you think we would be done now...I dread going home from work this afternoon, that's for sure) and then Cookout over our friend's house. Baby Girl was super cranky from no nap...so when we got home around 5:30 she crashed for about an 1 1/2-2 hrs...and then was up til like 11:30.  Not a great idea on my part.  Nice cookout though  : )

Today (tuesday)...Back to the grindstone....

Currently,  I'm reading this really funny book written by Chelsea Handler...its her new one "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang"...as vulgar as she is sometimes, she is freakin hilarious!  I was laughing so much at lunch, my co-workers sarcastically asked me to keep it down.
