The Mathis Crew: Labor Day Weekend 2009!

Saturday morning we had Sarah's last ballet class..which she did not want to go to because we were leaving to go to East Texas after her class and she wanted to leave before. But she went, and from there Tobin, Sarah, my parents, brother and I headed to Winnsboro, Texas. My aunt, uncle, and grandfather live there. We love going down there..it is so much fun and one of those places you can really relax and there are no worries about time. The only downfall to the whole trip was both Sarah and I had a horrible cold, so I wasn't feeling to great... of course Sarah wasn't either but that didn't slow her down! My cousin, his wife, and kiddos were there. Sarah and Alyssa were attached at the hip when we got there. We cooked out, ate alot (yummy carrot cake and a heath bar cake..holy moly!) the guys fished, hung deer stands, the kids played in and out..in and out..in and out! Tobin and I both said..if the job market was better there we would MOVE THERE in a HEARTBEAT! Its just a great place. Sunday my cousin, his kids, my mom, Sarah, and I went to the skating rink..it was Sarah's first time. It was so much fun..by the end of it Sarah was skating without holding any ones hand. She did great! We got home LATE Sunday night, and yesterday we all napped from 1:45-5:00, and all went to bed early. I am trying to kick this cold and Sarah is on the downhill side.
On a much sadder note..we had two casualties while we were gone. Sarah's fish was found laying on the bottom of its tank..which she didn't even notice till this morning (that he was missing..we flushed him when we got home and found him). So we had to make an unexpected trip into Denton today to buy the EXACT same fish..which we did. We got home and I went to feed her frog..sucker is dead in the bottom of his cage. No, I haven't told her..I will leave that one to Tobin. I can not handle anymore heartache!

This is Sarah and Alyssa..I know the hats! They were having some sort of party and had to wear them!
