It’s Sunday evening and I’m shooting for a 9pm bedtime for myself. The kids were in bed by 7:30 and Shaun is working an event (for his third night in a row) for the radio station and wont be back until close to midnight, so I figure it’s a good night to do it. The first half of last week the kids were recovering from being sick and rather grouchy. Thankfully, we finished on a higher note but everyone’s still pretty tired.
Neither Shaun or I work Labor Day, so we are looking forward to a fun family day. I discovered that a children’s museum in a town 45 minutes away is having free admission for the day! I’m sure it will be packed, but we’ve never been and you can’t beat testing a new place out for free. I think the kids will love it!

Linking up to Menu Plan Monday







Enjoy your day. Children’s museums are so fun!
Thanks, Janet! It was so much fun. Kenna loved every minute of it and even Spencer enjoyed wondering around. We were there for over 2 1/2 hours and it wasn’t even that big. (And we started the day using our September calendar card breakfast coupon at Chick-Fil-A and finished it with ice cream so I think she was probably in her dream world. 🙂 )
I love that you are dong a craft show again! Must not have been too bad of an experience last year. I have been kicking around doing one, but not sure if I will or not.
Nope, it wasn’t bad last year at all. We didn’t make much money, but it wasn’t a craft show only. I’m hoping this one will do better sales wise since it’s Christmas shopping season and a craft show that people are paying to get in to. We’ll see!!!
