Labor Day Weekend

On Friday, Brock got to practice with the Doane football team. He had a blast being around so many football players. Later that night, all of the kids that attended the Doane practice got to show off their skills during halftime of the Crete game.

We stayed at Grammie and Papa's house on Saturday and Sunday while they were away in KY visiting Heidi, Jay, and Maddie. We rented the football game on PPV and had our own Husker party. The kids made footballs and had popcorn for their snack, which they thought was the greatest thing ever. Sometimes it doesn't take much to please them...just sometimes.

We did some running around on Sunday and had a nice movie night that evening. We watched The Last House on the Left, which left us both freaked out and paranoid, and then we watched State of Play. Chad really enjoyed that one, but I ended up falling asleep within the first 20 minutes. At least I made it through the first one. We headed home Monday morning and got some yard work and cleaning done. We picked another load of tomatoes, so I will have to get those bagged for salsa makin'!

We have unleashed the bunnies into the wild. We lifted up the wheelbarrow today to find them all out of their hole and scattered around inside the wheelbarrow. They were so cute that I couldn't help but pick one up and hold it. Brock got some bunny lovin' in before Daddy informed us of the diseases they carry, and then we were all quarantined into the bathroom for a scrub-down of the disease ridden bunnies.
