Labor Day Weekend 2013

Labor Day weekend is always a little bitter sweet as we say goodbye to Summer, but in this family we love and embrace Fall.   

We spent the weekend in true McCord style...busy!  Adam made it a four day weekend so we took the opportunity to tour and check out a new pre-school for Madelyn.  We loved it and she will start this week! Madelyn has been home with me everyday since the end of May, we could tell she was becoming bored and needed something else. Lets face it, giving her what she needs with two newborns at home is virtually impossible. Going back to school will be a blessing for all of us.  We took her to buy a new backpack and lunch box on Friday, she is very excited!

Saturday morning we headed to Ohio to celebrate my best friends little boys birthdays, it was our first out of state trip with the boys. Kara has two boys, Ben just turned 4 and Matthew 2. The birthdays are a a few days apart so she does a combo party and she does it well! It has actually given me a few tips on how to throw a party for my twin boys when the day comes.

On Sunday we headed to Adam's parents house for some lake time and a cook-out. We got in a little boating,   fishing, relaxing and family time. We decided to make it our first over night with the boys and it went great. Carter and Colten slept for 7 1/2 hours before waking to eat. It was awesome!! Madelyn got to swim and fish, two things she has become very good at.

On Monday we headed home to rest up a bit and plant some Fall flowers. We are ready for football, tailgating, crisp nights, and all things Fall!!
