Happy Labor Day everyone! We celebrated by enjoying our annual block party on our street. It is really a flash back to a different era, when neighbors watched out for one another, kept an eye on each other's children, shared vacation stories and exchanged pot luck recipes. AND WE LOVE IT! This year there was even a 12 foot high blow up water slide! Jack loved waiting at the bottom for the big kids to woosh down and SPLASH him! He danced to Ian's music (great selections), munched on popcorn, hotdogs & chips, and impressed all the neighbors with how big he's gotten over the last year.
After his late nap, Jack helped Mommy bake cookies. Oatmeal with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts...yum! I am trying not to be one of those paranoid moms, so I even let him lick the spoon despite the fact that unbaked cookie dough contains raw egg which could potentially lead to salmonella. Screw it! I ate cookie dough when I was a kid and I lived to tell about it. I am not going to be a killjoy over it. He loved it. The spoon tasted yummy, the mixer went round-a-round and made a rurring noise, and he got to push the handle on our new toaster...what more could a boy need? After watching Lady and the Tramp, he snuggled with Mommy and then went off to sleep happily. We had such a great weekend together as one big, happy family.
