Happy Labor Day!

Call me a Copy Cat, call me unoriginal but so I am.

I couldn't help myself--it was a good idea.

So, I straight-up stole an idea from a well-known LDS Mom Blog. (Can you guess who?) Since Labor Day was also the last day before school started we (directly copying here) had a Back to School Feast. We let the kids plan the menu, shop for the food, help make the food and set the table. The kids loved it! With any luck, we will be ripping-off this idea every year.

Over dinner we talked about the kids expectations for the upcoming school year. Before dessert Will gave each of the kids a Father's Blessing. The kids were so excited about their blessings. They all sat on the couch and waited patiently (and quietly!) for their turn. I kept peeking at each during their turn and they all wore the same happy grin--no surprise--it made me cry like a baby.
