Before I dive in to our activities of the long Memorial Day weekend, I have two photos to share from last week. We have had many home projects in the works and the office was being painted last weekend/Monday, so we were without a computer at home for most of the week. The first picture is of the girls newly enamored with a chair that was moved out of the office to make room for the painters. It, along with a lot of other random things, are now in the dining room.
In addition to getting ready for the paiting, we had a busy Saturday night as we watched our friends' kids for the evening. Jamie took Katie and Caitlyn to an Indian Princesses event at Bounce U, while I had the two little ones. It was fun, but made us glad we don't have four kids!So the work at home conitnued all week. The builders finished the guest room wall on Tuesday and it was painted on Wednesday, which was a good thing since Grandma and Poppy arrived on Thursday!
Thursday night we all went to Katie's soccer practice and Caroline got to practice with the team as well.
She enjoyed sitting in the net, kicking the ball and strutting around!
After a hot practice, we all went out for ice cream!Friday, the girls went to school, while we kept the painters company and worked on getting our new office furniture set up. Thank goodness we had Poppy there to troubleshoot!
Saturday, Dad and Jamie played golf, while the rest of us awaited the delivery of our new couch. You can see that we put Katie and Caroline to work! (our new mantle/fireplace is visible in the background)
Once the furniture guys moved the big chair to the playroom, the girls instantly turned it into a toy. Here, it is a car that the girls packed up for a drive.
Jamie found the new couch to be to his liking!
Sunday morning, we had a belated Mother's Day brunch for Grandma. We thought it would be nice to eat outside, but it was hot and sticky by 10 a.m. We couldn't wait to be done!
While Poppy was busy fixing our lamp post (background), I had the girls wash their wagon and then we had a "parade" around the cul de sac.
Later the girls swam in the neighbor's inflatable pool and Caroline showed off her hula hoop skills. Grandma also demonstrated her skills, which Poppy caught on video. Some people wanted me to post that video here (it was pretty funny!) but I refrained.
Monday morning we went to the playground/water park.
It was a little chilly, but the girls and I went in the water a little bit. They especially enjoyed spraying me.
After the park, we had lunch on the patio and the girls enjoyed the first watermelon of the season.
Here is Caroline telling us that she was going to sleep on the steps.
It was a fun weekend. Thanks to Grandma and Poppy for all of their help with our projects!
And, a belated Happy Birthday to Jamma and Uncle Buddy who celebrated last week.
