Today is Labor Day and, in our family, it has been a day of labor. Wow! I feel like I haven't sat down all day. By 9 am, I had picked 8 cups of raspberries, picked 50 apples and had a quadruple batch of apple butter cooking. The day just kept getting busier.
*I put together some bridal shower invitations for Greg's niece, Rachel Fowler.
*We finally went on our family bike ride on the Jordan Parkway (that we earned from our house cup). We had a great time, even if Enoch and Kate were both squashed in the bike trailer. By the end of the ride the trailer was rocking back and forth from the helmet bashing, biting and hitting.
*I went through Kate's winter clothes. I was thinking I was well prepared with the warm clothes I bought on clearance in the spring. Little Miss Shrimpy decided not to grow and now I'm stuck with a bunch of 2T clothes that are completely falling off of her. I made a list of what I need and I'm headed to the fabric store tomorrow. I'm thinking Kate is going to be wearing a bunch of leggings and skirts this winter.
*I made my annual raspberry pie. It was delicious!
*Kate received her first American Girl magazine. I'm not sure where it came from (Greg doesn't believe me; he thinks I ordered it). Kate had a great time looking through it and fell in love with the Bitty baby dolls and the bunny slippers.
*My apple butter is still cooking. I'm hoping I'm not processing it at midnight!

I haven't delved into Ava's clothes yet, but I'm sure I've got something I can pass your way.
We labored, too. Prepped and primed the garage attic. I'm tired.
I agree on the name of today. We also spent the time laboring in dave's parents yard. Your food looks and sounds delicious!!
I have a Burda pattern for basic pants and sweatshirt...I have used it to make stuff out of polar fleece. Very easy, and fleece is nice and warm! :)
Okay, I'm just super jealous. Your invites are cute and it makes me want to make cards, your pie looks super delicious (Kyle hates raspberries so I would have to eat it myself) and I am jealous Kate got her first American Girl doll magazine. After I read that I went and requested one for Brynnley!!!
Great to get out, the pie looked yummy, no holidays here it seems like, although we will be having thanksgiving at the Mission Presidents house. Love the past picture of Kate missileing(is that a word?) off the slide, that's one to save.
LOVE DAD
