Yeah, I'm taking a break from Moshi Monster Mondays for a bit ... too many great giveaways going on and other cool happenings in our lives. I'd be happy to accept a guest post on Moshi Monsters stuff, though ... hint hint at those who love all things Moshi!
Happy Labor Day, by the way!
Today I'm showing some pictures of a recent day off Aron had and how we went to Melvern Lake in Kansas, about an hour plus from our home in Overland Park.

| So you know how my laptop, Toshiba Laptop McLoughlin, is my 6th child? Well, these are my husband's 6th and 7th children. He saved up a long time for his modest fishing boat and rarely gets to take it out. Then it was time to get a new vehicle when his old truck crapped out. He needed something big enough to hold a big family and haul a boat. It guzzles gas and cost too dang much, but it does a good job and he loves it. Why shouldn't he have these things he works so hard for? |
 |
| Just the boys went in the boat and met us over at the beach part. Don't freak out, haters, because YES, Joel put on his lifejacket immediately after this. |
 |
| A ladybug for luck! |
 |
| The kids had fun giving me a mud skin treatment. It was very relaxing to soak up some rays and get my skin all treated with ... uh, well, nasty lake mud. |
 |
| Callie REALLY got into it and made sure to be thorough on my legs :-) |
 |
| Me with all my kiddles at the beach. What an amazing day I will remember forever. And so great to spend time with Aron, as well, since he had been gone for so long. |
 |
| Later Aron took just the older boys fishing and I went to a park in the area with the other 3 kids. This is an old-school slide for sure. The Slide of Death. |
 |
| This picture will always make me want to cry a little bit. It is so beautiful. The end to a wonderful day! It was August 17 and we were honoring Great Aunt Eva's memory since she liked to fish with her husband Max. |
