It's hard to believe that Labor Day was just Monday. It seems like weeks ago. After a few days running around, picking up last minute things for school, writing plans and still working on house projects, we took Labor Day "off" and just enjoyed our "last" day of summer. Joey and I camped out in the backyard Sunday night...so nice to spend some quiet time talking with him before he fell asleep. Joey went to play at a neighborhood kid's house in the morning and then we spent the rest of the day at the pool. Over the weekend, twice Joey took off running (shoeless) after two different boys. The first time he saw a boy he didn't know walking down the street with a fishing pole and tackle box. He ran off to ask him about the fishing pole and disappeared down the road past a lawn truck and out of view. Owen and I found him down by the creek at the end of the street. The boy had just caught a fish and was showing Joey how to reel it in. The following day he saw his friend, Austin go by on a motorized "kid-quad" and ran after him. We had a talk the day before about how he needs to talk to me about where he is going so he did come back this time and ask if he could go to Austin's house. It hit me that he isn't a little kid anymore....it made me happy that he still wants to do things like camp out in the backyard together. It'll be very hard for me when he decides he rather have a friend sleep over...
