Another weekend full of good times and fun memories! The weekend started with Brian and I going to the Twins/Tigers game on Friday night. It was a last minute opportunity that we had to take advantage of because, as we all know, Brian is a Tigers fan! It was a great night out and has become somewhat of an annual tradition for the two of us.
On Saturday morning the girls and I hit up a garage sale at a mansion on Lake Harriet. We scored big time for James as I got a lot of shorts and polo shirts for 50 cents each! The girls got hula hoops and we also got a Power Wheels ride on toy for $2! James is too little for it but Annie has been having a ton of fun riding it around. Brings back lots of memories for me and Brian!
Saturday afternoon and evening the girls spent some time with their cousin. They went to the Pirates movie and then to Grand Slam. They had a ton of fun and James and I got a lot done around the house (not so much fun but much needed!).
Sunday we got to spend some time with my friends from college and their families! The girls had a blast playing with their friends they don’t get to see very often. I want to make an effort to spend more time with these special friends as the adults and the kids always have such a great time!!! A few of the friends got to spend the night at our house and so the girls loved having a little sleep over. Their only complaint was that they didn’t get to play with everyone long enough.
Crazy Kids!
The first plunge!

Memorial Day wasn’t as fun as we didn’t get to spend time together as a family as house projects kept us apart. But Brian got a lot accomplished even though he had to spend many hours at Home Depot, The Tile Shop and Ikea. The kids and I tried to enjoy the weather and spend some time outside (one of James’ favorite things!). We had a great time playing in the yard but unfortunately our walk didn’t turn out so peaceful. When we were probably 1/2 mile away Katelin’s chain on her new bike came off and of course I couldn’t fix it. Then Annie took a spill and was bleeding and crying. So I ended up walking both bikes home while Kate pushed James complaining the whole time about the wind! Now I can laugh about it!

We hope everyone else had a safe and fun Memorial weekend. And to all the brave men and women (especially my Dad and Bapa) who are serving or served our country to defend our freedom I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
