Well, we missed out on getting to go home, while most of Mark's family was there. Just didn't feel like we should travel now that I'm considered 'full term', 37 weeks! However, we had some fun around here! Friday night we ate out and watched some fun fountains at the Legends. Saturday we ran errands, did little odd-jobs to get ready for the baby, and rented the movie Bella. (We really liked the movie....I remember one of my 8th graders saying last year, "I think it was good...I didn't get it." I can understand what an 8th grader would say that, but it is a neat story.) And last night we went to a free concert put on by the Kansas City Symphony with my parents and friend Natasha!
We arrived an hour and a half before the performance (good thing we did--it got packed) and picnicked. Mom and Nat had made the hugest sandwich ever. (the picture to the left is the sandwich after we all had slices of it) I think this is a great picnic idea. Buy (or make, like Mom did) a long french loaf of bread. Slice open, pile with lunchmeats, cheese, and lettuce, wrap up and then be sure to take a knife. They just sliced off big chunks of sandwich...it was really yummy. Nat had found a great sandwich spread recipe that included advocado, Chipotle seasoning, and lime juice. Really good stuff. 
They had enough food to feed an army, but I brought Devilled Eggs, so I felt like I was contributing to the feast. I have a fun serving thingy that can be used for eggs or veggies. The center part freezes and has a special gel to keep it cool....I'd never used it before which, honestly, is the only reason I was so excited to make Devilled Eggs. I didn't even eat one. The concert was great fun. Some classical music and some theater and movie soundtrack tunes, too. They finished out the evening with John Williams. A really nice concert and beautiful weather for it, too!
Today we did visit Chick Fil A for our free chicken strips. Wow, you should have seen the crowd. Very crazy indeed, but a fun experience (and, like I said, free). Hope you all had a nice Labor Day Weekend!

E - you're so good at putting in pictures with your blog posts. I love it! Keep 'em coming. Also: SO jealous about the concert! I would have loved that. I'm so glad you and Mark did get to do something fun for the holiday weekend, even though you weren't able to travel. Thinking about you a lot these days! Love you!

Hey! I think my brother was at the same KC symphony concert you were...though we aren't sure because he didn't even call my parents while he was in town! Haha!
