A non-labor labor day weekend

It was so great to have a family weekend...free of all high school cross country activities.  Because Kyle is a coach, he's usually out the door by 6 or 7am on Saturday's and might make it home by 3 or 4pm.  It makes the weekend seem really short.  So, having a nice long weekend with no obligations was great!

Turned out that today didn't quite go as planned.  Vincent woke up with one of the nastiest cases of pink eye that has ever stricken our family.  His eyes were super gooey and puffy.  Since our regular dr. was closed for labor day, I had to take him into the Immediate Care which took most of the morning.  Then, we had some errands to run..grocery and target trips.  (And I have decided to ban myself from target for the rest of september for obvious reasons!)

Yikes!

We needed some pics of Toby for Vincent's first school homework assignment..making a family tree, which I have to put together this week.  Yes, even after all the trash picking, toilet drinking, destroyed squinkies/petshops, and peeing on the floor, we still consider him part of the family.  I'll post a picture of the finished product when we're done! 

Here's another cute one!

Smiling kids!

Zachary built his first solar car today!  He did it pretty much all by himself..but it was the cloudiest day ever!  The car wouldn't run on the solar power and we had to stick in a battery.  Nevertheless, he got to check something off on his boyscout bear book...build a model of a car.







And finally...Isabella played her first duet performance for the family.  After only 3 violin lessons at Louisville Academy of Music she is playing fantastically!  Vincent loves listening to his big sis!  So I also uploaded a video of our mom/daughter performance.

Yes...I should be grading now because I have a stack of papers in my bag...and that is exactly why I am writing all about a weekend in which not too much occurred.

Here's the video: (don't laugh at my ridiculous outfit...I had run 3 miles, then stuck of bunch of random hair things in my hair that I found on the floor, and the socks are my compression pregnancy socks)  I know I look pretty cool!  Focus on Isabella's stellar performance!
