laborless weekend.

We had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend which, of course, included no labor whatsoever.
Its nice to have that little day off right as school gets started.

Friday night we drove around looking for something to do. Thanks to rain and no parking due to a football game the next day, we mostly just drove. We went downtown and saw the Capital (which I would like to visit again) and drove around campus a bit. Then we headed home and called it a night (exciting, right?).

Saturday morning we got up and headed to a little local Farmer's Market.
We do enjoy a nice Farmer's Market.
This one even included Southern-style BBQ (ironically), so we couldn't help but enjoy some pulled pork.
It was like butta.
Mmmmm.
We headed home with fresh corn-on-the-cob and homemade pumpkin butter.

The remainder of the day consisted of watching the Spartans, Twins, and Cougars win.
We were invited to watch the BYU game at a fellow Alumnus's house, which was fun, and the fact that they have a TV larger than our 20 incher was a bonus too.

Sunday was quite the little shock as Chris received a phone call from the Stake shortly before Church.
On our 3rd Sunday in this ward, he was called as the Executive Secretary.
I always knew that shiny spirit of his would get us into trouble.
We spent the remainder of the day in a slight stupor,
but he will do so great and we know we will be blessed for his willingness to serve.
And I still get Saturdays with him (knock on wood).
We did enjoy a game night at our Bishop's house that night, so life keeps going.

Monday we had a lazy morning.
We headed to Target to find Carly a jacket since she doesn't actually own any Fall/Winter clothes and it has been a bit chilly lately. We settled on a cute green one for the Spartans (though, Mom, it totally reminds me of Bomber green).
We had a lunch BBQ with ward friends, followed by dinner with school friends.

It was a good weekend.
Chris went back to school today. All his classes look great. It will be a good, albeit insane, semester.
Carly and I attended our first ever Playgroup.
Carly just stood and stared at the children in awe.
She will catch on to the playing eventually.
I think.

That's it.

P.S. We are reaching bib records daily.
I think we got to 6.
Enjoy some evidence:

Hahahahahaha, that shiny spirit of his! Sorry, not really laughing. More like ironically laughing. I wish I did no labor on Labor Day...[insert snarky comment about ovens here]. Oh well. Can't wait to see you guys!
