Memorial weekend 2017

Long time, no posts.   The name of the game here has been busy, lol.

The kids are both amped up as the end of the school year is drawing near.  They can hardly contain themselves.  Dave has been busy at work and was in Georgia for a few days on business.  My work is steady and I’m gearing up for my annual conference which this year will be in New Orleans.

This past Memorial weekend, I got off work a bit early and Dave and I were able to pick the kids up from school.  On Saturday, the kids had swim class and then Ajax had a friend over all afternoon.  That was nice since I got a bunch of meals in the freezer and that kept 50% of my kids occupied.  On Sunday, we ended up spending most of the day over my cousin Wendy’s house as her family has decided to move back to England.  The kids had a great time playing and will be sad to see them go.   By the time we got home the sky was dark and thundering, so we had a picnic dinner in the living room and watched The Fellowship of the Rings.  The kids absolutely loved it.  I was on the fence, but Dave insisted they were old enough.

On Monday, we planted flowers and got the garden in.  We also put up the “big” pool and the kids freaked out they were so excited.  They actually spent a good part of the day in the pool and at one point we even had another neighbor kid in there as well.  Now the water was freezing, but that didn’t seem to stop the kids.  After our work was done we headed into town for some much deserved ice cream.  We capped off our night with the hamburgers and corn on the cob and the second Lord of the Rings film.  The kids are hooked.

Overall, a lovely holiday weekend.
