OUR LABOR DAY

There is this little town right next to us and when you enter, it really makes you feel you are in a whole other world. Think... old fashion saloons. At night, when you drive by, there are horses waiting in a corral right outside saloon doors. Once when a friend was on her way to my house, she made a wrong turn, called another friend to get back on the right track and said, "Does Ruby live in Frontierland?" This small town has a parade every Labor Day since 1902, so this year we decided to check it out.

on me: shirt (supposed to be a dress), american apparel. shorts, f21. shoes, vintage dr. scholls c/o nickie noel vintage. this is pretty much my go-to outfit cause nothing fits anymore!
on true: dress, little bean shop. shoes, vintage.
on brave: embroidered dress, c/o tiny fox vintage. shorts, vintage. shoes, vintage.
on soul: dress, rogue retro. salt-waters, tiny fox vintage.

It was a simple, small town parade where we got to watch a lot of horses stroll by, a marching band, random city council people, and free candy being thrown at the viewers. The skies were overcast, it was free, and we were all happy to be together. It was a good kinda Labor Day!

How did you spend your Labor Day? Obviously, I wasn't laboring...

  7. Awesome pics! You guys have the cutest family! It cracked me up to see you with SUCH a round belly and a baby on your hip. It brought back lotsa memories!! I'm just curious...how far apart are Soul and new baby gonna be? My kids are 21 months apart and I'm wondering how you like your kids spacing. :) Happy labor day!

  9. kelsey- true and brave are 15 months apart. soul and brave are a little over 26 months apart. soul and baby will be about 20-21 months apart. it is really crazy in our house and will get crazier, but we wouldn't have it any other way now! if they were farther apart though, i would have considered a fifth.

  11. ooooh, so cute! I love your blog and reading about your family, faith, garden, recipes, homeschooling (more, please!)... but please don't cut your middle girl's bangs anymore. I was that middle girl with those super short bags while more sisters had the beautiful long locks. Wow do I hate those pics :)

  14. So clever using a dress as a shirt to cover up! I don't blame you for having it be your go-to. You're soo close!

    And, I love your long hair. You are so beautiful.

    And, your family is beautiful too.

  29. I've commented maybe once... but wondered if Soul's face was bitten by a vampire?

    Also, give baby an eviction notice. I think a boy would be lovely, that's my guess.
