I hope you’ll indulge me for a day. We spent Labor Day weekend at the fair (Eleanor rode a pony while her great-grandmama yelled “giddy up!”), we went shopping, headed out to the farmer’s market, walked around our neighborhood for hours, spent time with a friend from out of town, did a lot of cooking…
Do you see what was missing from that list? Work. I took the weekend off (which I never do). I don’t have anyone to help with the kids on Tuesdays, so I tend to get my posts ready beforehand. But then last night, my bed was calling and I wasn’t ready to stay up late in the name of work. I’m extending my long weekend by another day. Today is for dancing with the kids to Paul Simon, going to the park, and maybe a little nap for everyone.

September 6, 2011 at 1:34 pmAh, but you still put up a new post! It still takes me forever to create the shortest ones…so I’m impressed.
Enjoy your extra time!

September 6, 2011 at 8:43 pmNo need to ask for a day with your family! Sometimes our greatest ideas come to us when we’re turned ‘off’ anyways.
Hope you had a wonderful day!

September 8, 2011 at 4:51 pmWhat type of effect are you using for the photo? Is it in photoshop or are you using a special lens?
Making it Lovely
September 8, 2011 at 11:09 pmThe blur is from the lens (my nifty fifty), and the color and processing was done in Photoshop. I like to use actions from Totally Rad.
