labor day weekend

this weekend can be summed up with two words... football + family.
tennessee had their first game on friday. i came home to brett wearing ut attire from head to toe and him instructing me, "i laid out your tennessee shirt on the bed for you." what a goof. saturday brett woke up to play football, then we went to lunch with jp who was visiting for the long weekend. third wheel meals at red elephant. gotta love em. then they went to play golf and i went to work my first fsu game of the season.
we spent sunday playing with nieces and nephews since emily and todd (and their families) were in town. sophia turned three this weekend so we spent some time making the present i got her together. she was so cute telling everyone she was, "working on my project." she must have heard her mom talk about crafting projects a time or two. the apple doesn't fall far from the tree with craftiness in that family. i loved watching her chubby little toddler hand squeeze out every last drop from the glue container -- which thank goodness that stuff dried clear, she had put a glue mask on one of her princesses. also word to the wise, don't try to get between that girl and her glitter. she's glitzy. (p.s. this little magnet set is melissa & doug. love those toys.)
james' third birthday was earlier this month so sarah had a party for him on monday. mickey mouse themed!  
oh poor little brown necklace, monday night it smashed into a million pieces. third necklace i've broken with the kiddos. when will i learn to not wear them?!?!
i just love how excited he was when the candle was lit! and he sang along with the happy birthday song.
cute little three year olds! sophia was so cute sidling her way up! she knows how this works! brett and i were half expecting her to try and blow out his candle too!
we watched the lorax for the after party (and then went to clara's house for the after, after party) sophia wouldn't let that goody bucket out of arms reach. haha.

can't get enough of weekends like this. when's the next long weekend again?

You always have the best parties at your house! And lots of them are for small children... haha.
Anywho, long weekends are the best! Looks like yours was a blast! Except for the whole working the football game thing...

I absolutely love that Brett's first words when you came home on Friday was "I put your Tenn. shirt out on the bed" SO CUTE! Awesome three day weekend too. The next one I think is Vetern's Day so pretty much a month from now... dang...

Love the pictures! The ones of Sophia sneaking up during the birthday song and sitting with her bucket right next to her crack me up! She's too cute!

Thanks again for hosting our out of town birthday parties! You are the best (and the favorite uncle of course)!
