Goof Off Day

 

Tuesday, September 5, 1882 was the first Labor Day holiday in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union.  The first Monday in September was selected as the holiday in 1884. 

Our day today was not laborious.  We started with a trip to the movies.

Also while waiting, Katie’s second front tooth exited.  I was honored with the task of keeping it safe until we got home.

Next stop was Home Depot for home improvements for the new house.

For dinner we had a “picnic” at the dining room table—salad and grilled hot dogs (Beth) , and warm cherry pie (Matt).  Yum!

Tomorrow is Mel’s first day of (pre)school.  She is looking forward to it.  We are looking forward to a respite from the little whirlwind.

Hahaha...Katie lost her tooth at the movies. I bet she was excited. Glad you kept it safe for her, Louise.
