I think 3-day weekends are moving really high up on my list of favorite things. They always seems to hit the spot. That extra day makes all the restful and recreational difference!
This particular Memorial Day weekend, we nursed a groggy Shade bunny after his Friday morning neutering, bless his heart. We kept him in the kitchen til Sunday night, once he seemed to be back to his usual personality and was starting to get into trouble in the kitchen. Ha! He will stay hutch-bound and away from the other three bunnies til next Monday when he gets the staples removed.
Saturday we enjoyed such a mellow evening at the Graffs with the Jeffs along, too.
Sunday was for church and swimming again (Josh lowered the water level for Lasa this time, so she could touch for a change) and backyard garden and rabbitat fixes all day. Noah went to a youth group cookout and volleyball game later that night. As well, on our Summer Bucket List is the idea of a new board game. I did us one better and pulled out a board game we already have that I had yet to introduce the kids to - Pente. This brought back so many memories of playing this as a kid. Noah and Anna were HOOKED within minutes. So fun!
Monday, Memorial Day, we did more yard and swim and Pente stuff at home and then went to a cookout at the Seavers with the Seals, the Kings, Lucy, and Molly. It was another great mellow night! Molly capped the night off by introducing the kids to Snipe hunting. 😆
Now, it's Tuesday and my people are back in the pool.
It's hot as blazes again as it has been for the past week. We are about to watch the hockey game we DVR'd last night as soon as Lasa goes down for a nap, I have a cold generic root beer in my hand (a new fave for all of us), I started a good book last night, and I have supper club to look forward to tonight. Summer is off to a sweet and simple start!
Also, pretty baby grapes coming in!
That Noah is old enough to do youth group things is overwhelming.
ReplyDeletePool. Friends. Games. A/C. Those are the things that make the best summers.
It really is! I still shake my head at it.
ReplyDeleteAnd they really do!
