A new meaning of Labor Day

Well the never ending to-do list got its ass kicked this weekend and there is still tomorrow.  We took down the light fixtures out front, spray painted them black (they were a hideous brass that was rusted), and reinstalled them.  They looked great if I do say so myself.  We trimmed the front bushes because they were swallowing the house, no seriously, I thought they were going to eat the front of the house off.  Mowed, weeded, cut down out of hand bushes out back, and cleaned up the veggie garden, that happened this morning.  We painted 2 coats of primer yesterday and 2 coats of paint today.  Are you tired just reading the list?  You should be, it was an exhausting 2 days but we got so much accomplished.  Tomorrow there are a few very small jobs to do which include finishing Brady's room and going to the Milford Labor Day parade. 

So tonight after all the hard work we headed to the park to enjoy the beautiful weather.  We packed a picnic and the park was all ours since no one else was there.  Afterwards we went to my favorite ice cream place for the first and last time of the season.  We got home and while getting ready to head upstairs for bedtime we heard the fireworks starting so we sat outside on the front steps and enjoyed a pretty decent showing of fireworks.  Brady was hysterical he kept saying"niiiiiice" and "keep looking" and he was calling them firetrucks and plugging his ears telling us they were coming.  I am going to sleep well tonight, that's for sure.  I am too pregnant, that's for sure!!

Anyway here are some Brady filled goodness:

Side note:  a friend sent Jim this White Sox hat after he went to a game and it was the free giveaway.  I am not sure how Brady got his hands on it, but he has been wearing it since Friday pretty much constantly.  I think he would nap in it if we let him.  Its a grown man's hat and yet somehow it fits Giganto Melon Boy.

They raced and Brady actually won.

He had never been able to get on these himself before so he rocked out for sure.  We actually had to pry him away when it was time to leave.

Do you see this kid???  Using my giant bump as an arm rest.
