Labor Day Weekend

Oh, it has been sooo nice having a long weekend. Time to shut off the mind and enjoy being with Jon and Emma....naps, walks with the stroller, and a trip to check out a local flea market that we've never gone to in the whole 7+ years we've lived here! Not a whole lot there except for some beautiful produce. We bought some glorious green beans and red potatoes and cooked them up with some barbecued chicken. YUM! Right now Emma is sleeping and Jon is off at his fantasy football draft.

We're searching for a piano for Emma. She LOVES the one at daycare, and we'd like to find something similar for at home. But, no luck so far. It's Fisher Price - one they don't sell anymore - with big colored keys and stars that light up as the piano plays music. We went to Meijer and Walmart today to look, but they didn't have anything close, and what we DID look at Emma didn't seem impressed with. I checked on ebay and there is ONE...but the shipping is just as much as the starting bid. Maybe I'll check some places like "Once Upon a Child."

Hi Laurie,
Glad you had a nice weekend! You might try craigslist too! Usually you have to pick up the item so shipping wouldn't be an issue.
Are you guys dressing Emma up for Halloween? If so, do you know what she is going to be? Just curious I have been on a hunt lately for costumes for the boys! :)
