Memorial Day - Part I

We had a great weekend this past holiday. We went to friends homes, we spent time outside, we made plans to get things done that were never completed. We completed other things that weren't on the list. The normal stuff.

Friday was the Talent Show - then we went for ice cream - then home and off on a bike ride. It was pretty chilly, but we biked the 5 mile loop anyway. BigGuy and I watched 'Lars and the Real Girl' (if you haven't - rent it). Saturday morning we made our "list". It was not even that ambitious - sand the furniture in the kids room, well, break down the furniture - then sand it -, I had to decorate a cake for that night - mix the icing for the cake to be decorated the next day - BigGuy had fixing the mower on his list - we went to the store for supplies (both grocery and hardware). I sanded down most of the furniture. The kids played. Then while BigGuy took two with him I rearranged the garage (not on the list, but it was an added bonus to get done - my side not the "shop" side, but my side was where I am refinishing furniture). Then we walked over to friends, the B's, for a Fire Pit party. There was a very yummy dessert, my cake and some fab cookies. Fire going, the kids did sparklers. Our walk home was beautiful - stars everywhere. It was gorgeous. Sunday we went to the H's house for a bbq. Great food, drinks, dessert, kids to play with our kids - and we ended up being there for over 6 hours! It was a lot of fun. That is what the pics are from. That night I deco'd the cake and the kids flopped into bed (resisting of course - and asleep in 5 minutes). Monday we decided to stay to ourselves - have a Family Day. We delivered the cake, went and picked up teacher gifts and then picked up some picnic food and headed to the park to hang on our favorite playground - where we saw our friends the B's!! So instead we spent our park day with friends. It was a nice surprise we didn't plan. Spidey and BigGuy went to play putt putt with the B men, the girls and Babers all headed to another playground. It was a treat - those pictures are in the above slide. Then home to try to accomplish some of the things on the list that had been forgotten!

We are still working on that list!!
