It took me MUCH longer to get unpacked this time around then in the past, but there was just a lot going on right when we got here, and packing sort of took a back burner. But we are done now (thank goodness!!!) and it looks more like "home" than just a house. The only thing we have left to do is hang our pictures, and put up some curtains. Oh - and make one last run to the Goodwill because in the unpacking we unearthed some other "treasures" that we no longer need to haul around.
We really enjoyed our Labor Day weekend. Saturday we went to a beach for a bit to hunt for shells, then to this great little farmers market where I had the best breakfast sandwich EVER. We're going back this weekend just so I can have another. I'll even take a picture to show you all...you'll be drooling.
Sunday we went hiking. It was the longest one we've done so far, and I am very proud of the boys. We did a loop out to a lookout point and back, and total it was about 3 miles, which is pretty good for a 3 and 5 year old.
They had a blast and really enjoyed it - as you can see they were some happy hikers - 
...so we are going to hit up another area this weekend. One of the coolest parts was at the end we stopped by a waterfall. It was incredible.
This week is going by fast. I can't believe it's already the middle of the week. I guess that's due to the longer weekend. Next week is the hub's b-day and I am at a loss of things to get him. Any ideas out there?? Well, my attention is being requested by my little munchkin, so I am out until next time. Enjoy the rest of the week folks!

Great pics, we must've missed those areas while we were there.
Congrats on finishing up the unpacking!
Gifts...a friend of mine, in their family, birthday gifts are "experiences." IE: This past year this kids were given scuba diving classes, the hubby was given tickets to a livestock expo when he flew home for some certifications (he's a vet), and the was given a weekend away at a race. In the past they've done weekend packages at lodges that included excursions (hiking, boating, etc) and things like that.
Looks like a great hike. BZ to the boys for doing so many miles!
Does your husband have a power converter yet (for his first deployment to plug electrical gadgets into foreign power outlets)?
GPS receiver?
Red light-up pen to use on the midwatch?
