Good Monday Morning, and Happy Labor Day! Although not technically the end of summer, Labor Day always means the start of fall to me. I suppose this is fair because I consider Memorial Day the beginning of summer, even though the calendar says otherwise. Ok, moving on, we did so much this weekend that I will be doing minimal labor today! Peyton and Chris came for the weekend! And sadly, Rhett is missing from the pictures because he is not feeling well. He was back home surrounded by medication, fluids, and his favorite blanket. Kyrstin had work, but she took good care of him when she didn't. And, of course, I may have called a few too many times!
First up, we went boating! Not to be confused with boating at the lake, we went for a boat ride and a swim in the bay here! Captain Steve did great maneuvering through the Labor Day Weekend traffic on the water, and we enjoyed lunch and a swim for the first time in the bay.
There was some minigolf, too! I am absent from these photos because I sat this one out. A little-known fact about me: I strongly dislike minigolf. Like, really! I don't know why, but it may have something to do with the amount of waiting that occurs. I'm just saying.
There was breakfast at home: Mickey Waffles, just like they have at Disneyworld, the freshest peaches, blackberries, and blueberries, and freshly squeezed orange juice. The waffle maker is from Williams Sonoma and is worth every cent!
There were dinners out...
At one, my firstborn and I unknowingly matched, and ice cream every night!
Today, I plan on decorating for fall, then sitting with a cup of coffee and doing some blog reading! Have a wonderful day and a great week, my friends!
Happy September!!!
Billie Jo
Sounds like a great time. The pictures are awesome. Sorry Rhett was sick and that Kyrstin had to work. Hope you have a lovely day today.
ReplyDeleteMini golf: Not my favorite, either. My neck and shoulders get tired from having to look down so much, and all the standing around. I'm with you on that.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all your pictures!
I remember doing golf like that at a park we were at with family. Our 2 older grandchildren were able to do it with us. We're at home today and I will most likely play a game with Phil this afternoon. Megan's going to eat lunch with her brother today. Thanks for what you've done with family lately and photos 📸. Have a good week!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful, my friend. Hey Peyton and I have the same red blouse (from Old Navy?) I have to say it looks much better on her than me, smiles. I hope Rhett gets to feeling better soon. smiles
ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day to you as well and hoping that Rhett is feeling better by now!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

What a great time! I can almost feel the breeze from the boat trip! You got wonderful photos of your gorgeous family; you are so blessed! POST your fall decorations; I can't wait to see them!! YES, Sept. 1st is the start of fall to me as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm not ready to give up on summer just yet, but I am looking forward to seeing your house all decorated for autumn. Xx
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures. It sounds like a lot of fun. I'm so excited the 'bers' are here. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm hanging on to summer here, but I do know that Autumn is just around the corner. It's starting to feel like it too.
ReplyDeleteLoved the photos. It looks like all of you have a marvelous weekend! I hope Rhett is soon feeling better!
Sounds like another fun weekend. Love those Mickey waffles. I enjoy a game of mini golf.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful Labor Day weekend! I have a trip to Maryland on my bucket list. I've never been (well, except in my mid-20s when I spent a long weekend in DC), and want to experience their beaches. Hope you are doing well! BTW...you look fabulous!!!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteLoved to see all the enjoyment you had and the whole weekend must have been so much fun. I hope Rhett is much better by now. Happy Labor Day, happy December!
ReplyDeleteIt feels like fall here too, especially with the kids headed back to school. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYou guys always have so much fun! Was the bay water cold? Looks like a beautiful area.
ReplyDeleteYou had a very busy weekend and nice activities. I don’t like mini golf too! The mickey waffles are very cute.
ReplyDeleteBillie Jo...you have a lovely family! Isn't it wonderful to celebrate a long weekend with family? I hope that Rhett is feeling better by now. We have a good amount of covid going on around our area. Sounds like a very fun weekend...I mean, ice cream, burgers, swimming and hanging out with family = FUN. Enjoy your day today....relax and spend time for just you.
ReplyDeleteI ao enjoyed seeing the photos of your fun weekend with your kids. I'm sorry Rhett wasn't able to be there, but hopefully he's feeling better. Your boat photos remind me of our days at the lake, memories for me that are never too far away and it doesn't take much to bring them to the forefront.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the one with you and your girls. Gorgeous...all of you. Such blessings they are to you and Steve.
Dennis and I are at the State Park near us in our camper for a few days. It was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, but we woke up this morning to the bathroom floor flooded. Dennis thinks the shower is leaking somewhere so he's investigating that this morning. Well, he does like projects. :-)
Blessings,
Betsy
Happy new week my Friend! And yay for the BER months!! :) Sorry to hear Rhett wasn't feeling well. But it sure does look like it was a splendid weekend. You ladies are all so beautiful and it's so sweet how you and Madison are like twins and Peyton and Flynn are like twins too! Blessings on the rest of your week. Oh and FYI: I see Dunkin has pumpkin out now!! Guess where I will be going soon thanks to you. Thanks again!! 🎃❌⭕️
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo! Looks like a fun weekend. Those MIckey waffles are darling! Such a fun breakfast. I hope that Rhett is feeling better soon. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteMickey waffles, how delightful! I'll have to tell the girls about that waffle maker, they love Disney! The burgers look really good. Great family photos, and I really like Peyton's blouse. I hear ya about mini golf, or just golf in general. I never understood the enthusiasm. I hope Rhett is feeling better. Now that he's back home, I'm sure his mama is taking great care of him.
ReplyDeleteHappy September Billie Jo! I look forward to seeing all your Fall lovelies around your home.

Hi Billie Jo~ Oh my gosh, it looks like you had a wonderful Labor Day!! The boating, swimming, family time, food (adorable waffles), ice cream, it all looked like so much fun! I'm with you though, I don't like golf, mini or otherwise... 🫢 I always love to see photos of you and your girls, you are all beautiful. I'm decorating tomorrow, if I have time. I do have a few things out, but I'm not finished yet! And yes, Labor Day to me is the beginning of fall ;0) Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, looks like a lovely weekend! And I LOVE that navy top!
ReplyDeleteCan you link the waffle maker to this post? I looked for it on the Williams Sonoma site and couldn’t find it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. It says it is no longer available. I bought it last year in November for Christmas. Maybe they will restock? If not, here is a link to a similar one on ebay. Hope that helps!
