What a weekend

We had such a fun yet exhausting weekend. It is really fun that the girls are getting bigger so that they can really enjoy doing things. The only problem is that the girls are getting bigger.

It started Sat with a morning of running errands and packing. Then a quick lunch at McDonalds so that Caroline could get another Shrek toy. Then dropping off Grace and Auntie Ruth at home so that Mom and Dad could take Caroline to see Shrek the Third. It went pretty well but Caroline really wanted to see the babies and they did not come until the very end.

Then we went home to get Grace, packed the van, and headed to Embassy Suites. Once there we had some pizza and hit the pool. Boy were they excited about that. Both girls must be part fish. They were jumping in from the side, practicing floating and even going under water. The only bad part is that both of us have to be in the pool so we cannot get any pictures. (PS - those rooms are great when you have kids because you can put them to sleep in one room while you can still be awake and doing things in the other.)

Sunday was all about yard work. Grandma Lisa came and helped with the kids while we started fixing our backyard. That job extended into Monday (the only break during the day was to go to the Memorial Day program at the Legion). I am excited but a little nervous because now I need to go and pick out plants to fill the garden.

But we ended the weekend with a great party. We had a group of out friends over and had a BBQ. It is so much fun to just enjoy each other. The kids played their hearts out (and slept really well for their parents last night). Plus we got to meet Ruth's new boyfriend, Carl, and he passes.

Good weekend, now I just need to recover a little. But it was more than worth it because I got to enjoy my family and friends.
