Memorial Day Weekend- Friends and Fun

It is hard to believe the official start of summer has come and gone! I hope the summer does not go this fast. It kicked off Sat. with Allysa's last soccer game and then fun with friends. Of course the fun with friends rolled into Sat. and into early Sunday morning. I ended up with 4 kids, Si and Ella fell asleep downstairs with the girls. They were all very good!
Also, I did some yard work but did not get everything done I had planned. I did not get garden started as I wanted, however JP came over and "tilled" and it is ready for me to start planting(Thanks JP).
Of course, none of this would be possible without thanking those who have served or are serving in our military!
Enjoy the slide show of the jammed packed weekend!

Mother's Day Weekend

First, Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's who read this especially my mom and mother in law! As always, the weekend was hectic. My main goal was to get my upstairs back to normal and tackle Allysa's room(aka the black hole). We started it on Sat. but time ran out because Allysa had soccer. So, I tackled it again this am and FINALLY we have it all back together. You can walk in hall, get in the guest room and not get lost in the black hole! I am not sure I would ever survive a big renovation, I was going crazy with everything out of place for soooo long. It was OK at first but as time went on, I could not stand it!
Of course, I received my sweet mother's day gifts. The girls made all kinds of things at school and latch key(their after school program). I received the card, letters and my newest jewelery- 2 new bracelets made by each of the girls.I wore both to my wonderful mother's day dinner at Cap City! I appreciate my kids ALOT more after watching parts of Nanny 911-wow do some people have it bad!!! Hope all had a GREAT DAY!
