Wow! What a nice weekend! The weather was great!! CJ and I had to work on Saturday, but we still managed to go to a wedding on Saturday night. Our neighbor's son got married. It was a very nice outdoor wedding with the reception being immediately after. Brianna was having a lot of fun running around and dancing! She didn't really want to leave!
On Sunday, we stayed home and worked around the house and yard. CJ and Zach loaded more branches from the trees that were cut down in the backyard and hauled them off to the dump. We are also in the process of building a new deck on the side of the house, so after CJ and Zach ripped the old deck down, I spent the afternoon filling in all the cracks in the foundation. I wanted to get them filled in before we built the new deck in its place. After all this "hard work", we decided to grill some hamburgers and hot dogs for supper, then we started a bonfire in the backyard with some of the trees and parts of the deck still laying around! The neighbors had family over for a little get together, so we were all hanging out together in the backyards! Brianna wanted to go camping, but since I had to work for a little while on Monday, we didn't go anywhere. We did improvise, though, and put the tent up in the backyard and camped there!
On Monday, CJ and I got up early (due to sleeping on the ground!) and had some nice quiet time while the kids kept sleeping. Once they got up, we had some donuts for breakfast and Brianna went to work with me. I only had to work for a couple of hours and she was a really good helper! We were home before lunchtime, so we still had the whole day to enjoy. Brianna's friend, Madison, called to see if Brianna could come play with her. Brianna went over there for part of the afternoon, while CJ, Zach and I went to the mall. Zach wanted to look for a shirt for his 8th grade graduation the following day. We picked up Brianna on the way home, and ended up bringing Madison home with us. The two girls ran through the sprinkler in the backyard while Zach filled up water balloons and threw them at them! Madison went home at supper time and we had barbecued chicken strips for supper... something simple and easy! The kids had showers and went to bed without any complaining. I think the activity of the weekend was catching up to them... I know it had caught up with me!!! I was not looking forward to going to work in the morning! I am just glad that it will be a short work week and then we are on vacation! YEAH!!!
