Memorial Day Weekend

Wow, what a weekend we had! Those long holiday weekends can take a lot out of you! Due to Sam being run-down and the girls fighting colds, we didn't push to go out a lot and stayed home most of the time.

Here's the highlights:

- Shabbat dinner with Grammy is always enjoyable!

- Finish laying the mulch in the landscaping. Sam was a huge help with her sandbox bucket and her wagon while Grammy tried to keep Sofie out of trouble!

- Obliterating the bird's nest over the front door not once, but twice! (As of this morning, they are attempting their third rebuild.)

- Laughing out loud fun with the new Bubble Blaster before Sofie broke it by scooping dirt into it.
- I beat Dad in our inaugural Scrabble game on the new deck furniture.

- Daddy's wonderful steak dinner for Grammy and the S girls.

- Planting flowers with the girls. Sam enjoyed it and did a great job while Sofie preferred to spread the dirt on the driveway.

- Daddy explaining to Sam the importance of letting Mom and Dad know where she is so we don't get scared.

- Testing equipment at the Rainbow Play Systems showroom... one step closer to making a decision.

- Seeing the family to congratulate Ben and Ellen on their engagement! Mazel tov!

- Snuggling with Sam during quiet time on Monday... a rare treat to really cuddle with her!

- Daddy visiting the cemetery to check on Grandma Rose's resting place. I was fortunate enough to meet her once. She was a class act and a sweetheart!
