Labor day Weekend in East Tennessee

Well my first labor day weekend has come and gone and yes, I spelt it without a "u" just as they would spell it down here in the south! We had a nice relaxing long weekend, Daddy was off all three days which was wonderful.

Our house is in a bit of chaos so we moved into our neighbors house for the weekend while they were out of town. We babysat there 2 dogs Bubba and Gracie, it was lots of fun to have 4 dogs to play with. Gracie really missed Ella and Fisher so she kept trying to cuddle with either Daddy or Dexter and Bubba was quite interested with me. He cleaned me all up during dinner one night which I thought was so funny, check out the video at the bottom!

Mommy and Daddy finally decided to purchase a king size mattress and frame, thanks to the help of Gigi and Papa. With both dogs in bed with them they have been finding it difficult to sleep at night so Gigi and Papa offered to help them out by buying the mattress and box spring. The bed and frame will be delivered in 4 weeks and I can't get over how excited Mommy and Daddy are. It was lots of fun shopping for mattresses, Daddy kept laying down with me on all these different beds and bouncing up and down. When we were finishing up and paying, Mommy and Daddy finally caught me laughing on video while I was playing in my stroller, listen to the video below.

Tonight was the kick off to College Football here in Tennessee and oh boy do they go all out. Daddy says it is comparable to the way Canadians are with hockey season. Everyone we saw in town was wearing bright orange and white (East Tennessee colours) and Kara and Chris had a kick-off party at their house. I wore my bright orange dress that we bought in Costa Rica and I fit in quite nicely. While Daddy and the boys played corn-hole (not sure if this is spelt correctly) outside and we cheered them on, Mommy got some good pictures of my posing on a blanket in the grass. Fisher was really cute, he kept trying to play corn-hole with the boys by sitting on the boards and dropping the bags in the hole. If you are wondering corn-hole is a game they play down here that is similar to bean bag toss.

At the end of the evening I took a bath with my buddy Fisher and it was so much fun. Check out the video Mommy took of the two of us, listening carefully at the end to hear my giggle when Fisher was doing zerberts on my leg!

Well that is all for now, we are off to bed and will head back to Kara and Chris's in the morning because the flooring guys will be here to start laying our floor first thing. We can't wait for our house to get back to normal.
