Lovely Labor Day Weekend...

We had a great Labor Day Weekend...

(I was secretly wishing it away though.. since we find out tomorrow whether we have another sweet girl on the way, or a baby boy) But we had a great weekend, really.
Saturday we just hung around the house and it was pretty hot out..I did laundry, and we had yummy pork chops on the grill...

We started out Sunday morning at the Zoo bright and early.

We have a Zoo membership.. so sorry readers if the zoo pictures start to get real old..

Its a great place we discovered to take Samantha where she can run, play, and it never gets old.. Seeing the same animals over and over again...
She loved when the Sea Lion would come up for air.. she was screaming!

Sweet Lambie in the petting zoo section...

The "horsies" never get old either..

And we usually end our trip with a train ride.. she prefers to ride by herself on rides now, its really funny to watch her..

Labor Day was my kind of day...weather wise it was only about 64 degrees and dark cloudy skies.. I was so excited to put on my jeans and a sweater.. In the morning we ran to Target and the grocery store.. and Miss Samantha was up since 5am...yes you heard right..

I tried EVERYTHING to get her to go back to bed.. by 5:45 I gave up, and we were up for the day...she NEVER does this.. so I knew she would pass out by 12 noon..and she did.

It was just one of those moments.. we havent had one in a LONG time, I guess we were overdue..

She slept till I woke her around 3pm..

Then we headed to a small local Carnival/Fair where we promised her we'd take her on more "rides"she's got the ride bug, she loves them...and going by herself too... on her 2nd train of the weekend...

And she and Daddy won a new stuffed "gator" as she calls him..

We came home ate some of Momma's spaghetti sauce, showered early, and she is in bed.

Its cooler tonight supposed to be low in the 50's!! Im looking forward to good sleeping..
