On Monday, we celebrated Labor Day.
And by celebrated I mean, we all labored in the yard + house.
Except for Sam, who was much too busy making messes to bother cleaning them.
***
On Tuesday, the kids + Mike went back to work.
Josh and I decorated the house for FALL!
My favorite season!
And once September 1st hits 'round here, fall decor is totally legit.
Afterward, I made Josh lunch (a cheese crisp with barbecue sauce), and began sewing Grace's baptism dress.
Soon after, I heard lots of "Mmmm" noises.
Sam had found Josh's leftover barbecue sauce.
It's safe to say that he is a big fan of that stuff.
***
On Wednesday I cleaned and sewed some more.
And got all teary when I went to get the kids from school and saw how big this guy looks in the carseat.
Babies grow much too fast.
Mike had mutual that night and I finished sewing the dress.
Which is gorgeous, but Grace and I decided it needs some more "poof."
***
On Thursday Josh had his first day of preschool.
I had been heartbroken about it all week, because he did not want to go.
I would find him randomly crying around the house, and when I asked him what was wrong he said, "I don't want to go to pre-school. Mama's not there."
But, we can do hard things.
So he went with his BFF.
And his darling teacher, Miss Michelle.

Sam and I ran to Joann's to get tulle.
When we picked Josh up, he was all grins.
Turns out pre-school wasn't so bad after all.
That afternoon, I finished the underskirt (with all 10 yards of tulle).
Poof factor achieved.
Grace went to her first volleyball practice, and loved it.
We cleaned the house.
And got ready for a fun weekend with family celebrating Grace.
***
On Friday we baby-sat... and early afternoon, the R* family starting pouring in.
We had a fun dinner that night together.
Followed by a little movie-watching at the end with Kelsie, as everyone else left.
***
On Saturday, my sweet Gracie was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
And lucky for her, her best friend, Katelyn, was getting baptized the same day.
It was a wonderful experience. The talks were good, the children were beautiful... and seeing this guy that I love so much baptize our little girl, made me so thankful for the both of them.
I don't know how I got so lucky.
Afterward, we headed back to our house for an ice cream sundae party.
Afterward, everyone except Ethan, Cameo, and Kaylee left.
We got to spend the evening with them.
Josh had a blast chasing that cute niece/cousin of ours.
We had a great time together.
***
On Sunday, Ethan and his sweet family left.
We went to church.
And relaxed from a week of laboring, family, friends, and spiritual growth.
It was a good week.
