Holiday? What holiday?

Today was supposed to be a nice relaxing day as we "celebrated" labor day. Instead it involved more labor than relaxing. LOL.

It started with a phone call around 5:00AM and Al was being "recalled", which essentially meant he had to go into work immediately. I don't know all the details (nor am I sure what I can share) but they were trying to work on some equipment that they had to ready in case of an emergency trip to any Hurricane Gustav devastation areas. Luckily the storm didn't hit as a category 3 as expected, and for whatever reason they didn't need to actually go towards New Orleans, but Al was at work until past 5:00 tonight. Keep your fingers crossed though, because the potential still exists for them to send him there, or to any area that may be affected by Hurricane Hanna heading towards the US.

Meanwhile I was working here. Yet more eBay and more cleaning. Throw in some car and Lego time, and that about sums up our day here.

We did get to do some barbecuing when Al got home and we fit in some playtime outside.

We really know how to enjoy ourselves, as Al head back outside after Tyler went to bed so that he could spray weedkiller. Meanwhile I worked on sealing the grout on our newly laid bathroom tile (installed by my father).

Yep, we are just that fun!

We were all "labor" and no party over here, too. Phil and I took advantage of the big girls being gone to get some stuff done around the house
