Labor Day Weekend

While our long weekend was action packed, I wasn't good (AT ALL) about taking pictures, so I will try to recap.

Friday night-we stayed at home and did nothing.

Saturday morning-Antonio's mom, 3 women from her church, Antonio and I started cleaning our house at 8am and worked until 3:30. These ladies did AWESOME!! They did that deep cleaning that I am not sure has been done since we moved in. We didn't even get to all the rooms, but we did get the majority done. NOW Antonio and I are going to have someone come and clean the house every 2 weeks starting next week. This was supposed to be my Mother's Day present, but it was never set into motion. I am SO excited to have someone coming to help clean!

As soon as they all left, we showered and headed to Tim's mom's house. While I was not great at taking pictures, Jennifer was, so here are the pictures....

In this first picture below is Tim's mom and James.
Next is Tim's mom and Kaitlyn
and finally Tim and Jennifer...
Let me just say the 5 people pictured above SPOILED Tatum ALL night!!! Antonio and I were so tired from cleaning all day and they were God sent when it came to Tatum!
I am SO GLAD that Tim's mom isn't picky about kids in her flowers and moving things around. Below, Tatum had walked around the yard and picked a few things to give to us.
Here she is giving the flowers to her Mommy...
Tim's mom also had tons of statues of dogs, rabbits, frogs, etc in the yard and she let Tatum move them all around. James brought the dog and cat statues up so she could see them all...
After all of the rearranging, Tatum needed a snack...
Below is Tim's attempt at taking a self portrait of him and Tatum...

Kaitlyn and Tatum were playing with the dog. Tatum LOVED the little dog, but he wouldn't let Tatum give him a kiss no matter how much she tried.
Tim's mom has a pool in her backyard. I didn't think to pack Tatum's swimsuit or swim diapers. However, that didn't stop her from getting to swim. Kaitlyn, Tim's sister, said she would get in the pool with Tatum...A HUGE thanks to Kaitlyn for getting in with Tatum. She LOVES to swim and I am sure you can tell from the pics below. Since we didn't have a swim diaper, we just put a regular diaper on her and she got in.
Tatum loved this raft and it worked perfectly until Tatum ripped it somehow and it developed a huge hole. Sorry.
Antonio and Tim looking on as Tatum was swimming...


The diaper filled up with water really fast and started to weigh Tatum down...

So, we decided it would be okay to let Tatum go skinny dipping. She didn't mind at all...
Tatum LOVES Timmy...
After swimming, we ate some WONDERFUL food! We could all tell how tired Tatum was but she didn't want to miss out on the action, so Tim's mom decided to take Tatum outside to sit in the swing. When I went out to check on them, this is what I found...

Poor Tatum tuckered out!
Sunday-We went to church that morning and sanded and painted the dresser in the afternoon(see post below)
Monday-we didn't do too much during the day. Jennifer and Tim came over in the afternoon and we grilled out and played with Tatum.
The LONG weekend sure seemed short since it was so action packed, but we had lots of fun. I can't believe it is already Friday again! We plan to do some more fun things this weekend, so I will try to be better about taking pictures and posting them.
