labor day fun

kyle headed up to burnsville to stay with my brother, marc, and sister-in-law, jen, on thursday night. they were in need of a "handy man" to help with the installation of their hardwood floors. given the fact that kyle has mastered many projects around the house, they deemed him best fit for the job...and available! so, while he and marc did their best impression of tim the tool man and al, miles and I stayed in rochester and had some quality time with auntie beth! we watched chick-flicks and went shopping. saturday afternoon we ventured up to the cities to join the others after they were finished flooring. we layed low on sunday - went to the mall of america and ordered pizza. monday we decided to join in on the "great state get together" a.k.a. the minnesota state fair. it was H-O-T hot, but we had a good time anyway. we tried the hotdish on a stick and were pleasantly surprised! it's actually just a skewer of alternating meatballs and tater tots, breaded in a corndog breading, fried, and served with a cream soup type dipping sauce. I know - you're wishing you could have one right now! it wasn't too bad though. it was a fun weekend!
