Memorial Day 2011

What a great weekend! We had so much fun this weekend (including giving two dogs a bath outside - yes it took all five of us to get the job done). I wish weekends were three days all the time. We talked to the kids about Memorial Day and what it represents. I don't want them just to think that Memorial Day = Pool Open. It was so great to see so many people on our street hang their flags. Democrats or Republican we all come together with our flag.

In addition to a history lesson the kids had lots of pool time this weekend. Swim Team starts tomorrow and both kids (who wanted to do it) now have reservations. I don't care if they even compete but I want both of them to improve their swimming skills.

I just can't wait till Matthew gets out of school. Grace's last day is Wednesday. I am super excited about summer this year. Maybe it is because Matthew is in K and gone every day. I can't wait just to hang with them.

Our summers will be filled with:

Swim Team
Fireflys
Pool
Flavor-Ice (we just bought a box at Costco for the summer)
