Labor Day Weekend

We spent the long weekend at my sisters celebrating Collin's birthday. This was a lot of fun for all the kids and adults too. We camped out in a cabin at the lake on Friday night, roasted marshmallows, ate Hobo sandwiches, fished, played, basically had a good time. The night was fun for us adults as there were 12 of us in a little cabin complete with bunk beds that my sister and I fondly referred to as "prison bunks". Us adults slept some and were awoken bright an early by the birthday boy. He was convinced Katie and his dad were gone. The funny part was that he was sleeping in the bunk next to Katie and did not see that she had ended up on the floor in the middle of the night, or that his dad who was also in a bunk beside him was now on the floor on the blow up mattress with his brother which was also right beside him. We assured him that they were still there, but by then we were all pretty much awake. The next day we got ready for the party and then went back to the lake to celebrate with water balloons, canoe rides, swimming and lots of good food. We also had a pirate cake which my sister made which still has my son's poop coming out in various colors. :) We also got to see almost all of our family members and enjoyed it tremendously. Now we are back home and have gotten back into the swing of things. We have found that we brought a present back with us from cousins house. A much L O V E D present (sarcasm is HEAVY here) in that my youngest has diarrhea and now my 6 yr old has it. Oh the joys of it all... I spoke with my sister and it has started at her house also. Fun fun. So I am off to wipe butts, was nasty clothes, and look for a clothes pin to pin on my nose. I have candles burning in the bathroom to help with the odor, but it is merciless. UGH! The only thing I can say is I am glad it came this week and not next week when my hubby is home. I am soooo looking forward to seeing him since it has been since July! I am hoping we will all be well for his arrival. Until then, I am off to bathroom/washing duty.
