Happy Fall!!

And YAY for 70 degree weather!! Nothing a pregnant girl likes better than cool weather. We had a pretty busy, fun-filled labor day weekend. We went up north on Saturday morning to visit Ed's brother and sister-in-law Denny and Denise and Denise's family at their cabin up in WI. We actually stayed in a hotel and visited with them Saturday and Sunday. What a great time and what a fun family! And great cooks too. I think I gained 10 pounds. There was a whole table just dedicated to bars. But lots of fun and there was a birthday celebration for Jaelyn and Dennis as well. Of course look to the left and you can that Ed was enjoying taking on the girls in video games.
We managed to fit in some alone time too, the hotel we stayed at was really nice, and we went swimming in the pool and played some mini-golf. Which Jen let Ed win. Again. Though she did get a hole-in-one!
We came back Monday morning, rested for a bit, then had to gear up to get to the State Fair. My friend Jen and I were taking the guys to their first country concert, Toby Keith. Mostly they were proud of the can coolies from the K102 booth they managed to score. They sweet talked the girl into giving them after they told her it was their first country show. But it was a good 90 degree day and we went a few hours before the show so we could eat. So by the time the show started Jen was pretty good and hot already. I lasted about halfway through in our seats, but got so overheated, Ed and I went and stood back by the entrance where there was a breeze and could at least get some air. We lasted close to the end, but I had to leave. Lately I kind of hit my point of no return and I need to rest. Immediately. And Ed has even learned to recognize that look on my face when I need it. So we left. Bought ourselves some Sweet Martha's cookies for the walk back to the car.
So that was our weekend. Yesterday was a little too much for Jen and I ended up taking a holiday at work today (that's what happens when nursing is overstaffed - they call you to ask if you want the day off. Its pretty great.)
This is another busy week. At least for Ed. He starts school on Wednesday and Thursday we head down to Mankato for his art show and he gives a talk about his art. He's been working pretty hard on the speech so wish him luck!
