Labor Day

This afternoon, Justin and Madeline decided that they would build a rocket together.

So, daddy built a rocket, because he bought a crappy glue and got a little irritated. So he went back out for better glue.

Then he was a bit happier.

BUT, the paint he bought was crap. Sooooooo, he borrowed some red paint from his dad.

Meanwhile, Madeline had grown fed up with waiting and rockets. She went down the water slide for a while.

Again and Again and Again...

And once more for good measure.

Then, as seen above, she sat in a bucket. Yes. A Bucket. I mean, why not?

After dinner we all went to the park to light off the rocket. It went off three times very well. It was pretty cool, and pretty loud. Lily was not a fan. She screamed after every launch.

If only she had been a little older, we could have made her feel better with the cheesecakes I made. We sat in the park on the grass and ate cheesecake. Hurrah for Labor Day!
