The Last Days of Summer | How Much Did I Spend Last Week? September 2-8, 2024

Monday

It’s Labor Day! Which means nothing to me except that Brandin is off work, so we get to spend a relaxing day en famille.

Bea and the boys are still in Michigan, but due back this afternoon, so we decide we’ll kill two birds with one stone and head over to her house to (a) feed the cats and (b) hang out at the pool with the boys for a while.

We go over around 11am so we can get an hour or two in at the pool before it’s time to put Atlas down in the pack ‘n’ play that’s been handily set up in Bea’s room for a few weeks, ever since I was over there one day to work and decided to put him down for his nap in her bedroom.

While I’m putting him down, Brandin and the boys drive to get sandwiches from Jimmy John’s for lunch (he pays), and while I’m waiting for them to get back I empty the dishwasher and clean up the few dishes that are in the sink (it’s always awful to come back from your holidays to have to clean things!), then once we’ve finished eating we head back to the pool for a while longer before packing up and heading home before they get back.

At home, we make pasta for dinner and do the kind of stuff we usually do on Sundays: several loads of laundry, clean up downstairs, baths and showers for all the boys and so on.
