Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend we went to Pocatello, and went right to work. Nate helped my Dad scrape up the old linoleum floor in the laundry room. I helped paint the walls and cupboards. Nate helped Chuck and Katie move out of their house!!! I helped come up with ideas for Cards. Nate helped my Dad tile the floor in the laundry room. Mom and I shopped for Cards props. I helped Amy and Mom take 44 pictures for Cards. We took Grandma to dinner. We went to the property for dinner in the rain. Then on the way home from it all Kayla-fast asleep-threw up repeatedly all over the van. We were almost home so after a very brief stop, decided there was really nothing to do but roll down the windows and drive the last 15 minutes. Then we had a fun night of Kayla, Allie, and I throwing up while Nate tried to help us and clean up the car. Needless to say he didn't make it to work on time.

Other than the very end, it really was a fun weekend. I got some pictures up at the cabin, but apparently my lens is filthy so don't mind the pictures. It poured on us from about the minute Bert opened the gate. Thankfully we had a nice place to sit and play and visit. However those (Bert and Josh) cooking some delicious chicken in a barrel were not so lucky.
Allie and Jordy had fun playing their own version of Candyland together.
Sheryl and Nate standing in the new kitchen area. It will be much nicer to have cupboards to hold everything. Sorry Darla-I wish I could have stayed and helped arrange things.

Smile Katie and Kaden!
I know this picture turned out fuzzy, but I still love it cuz almost everybody is looking. Riley, Allie, Jordyn, Makayla, Terra, and Kaden.
What cheesy girls. Morgan, Allie, Kayla, and Jordyn.
Yep, another big cheese. Look how wet his shirt is. It was really pouring and you could get this wet just running to take a little girl to the potty.
We introduced Allison to the outhouse (which she would not use), but fortunately Grandma and Grandpa had a cute little potty for her to use. "It's not scary!" I really didn't expect her to like that outhouse, but I wasn't prepared for the after effects. This was Sunday and then Monday Nate took her with him on a run to Home Depot. She was scared by the noisy toilets. She held it for hours until safely back at Grandma's house. (Even Amy's toilet was too scary.) Now she won't use public restrooms. When I ask if she needs to go potty, she tells me we have a potty at our house and she'll use it when we get home. So far we've been fine, but I wonder what she's going to do when we're gone for 8 days...
