WEEK IN REVIEW

Our doing nothing weekend quickly turned into one event after another! Friday was Madeline's last day of school. It was an outdoor picnic with 2 jump arounds, hot dogs, Popsicles, etc. It was sooooo hot on those black topped parking lots where the jump arounds were. Madeline jumped for probably an hour. Her cheeks were the rosiest I had ever seen. I kept pushing the water, but she didn't want to take a break. I got Meredith's head into the jump around before she promptly yelled. For whatever reason, Meredith is terrified of being bounced by someone else. I am sure she would love it if she were the only person in there! So I took a picture of her putting her shoes back on.

That night the girls had a sleepover with Grandma. That gave Matt and I a chance for some dinner and Handel's ice cream. We even got to sleep in. What a luxury. Who am I kidding, Matt lets me sleep in most days. Thanks!

FANS FROM CHINATOWN FROM JILL!

We had our first trip to the swim club after we picked the girls up from Grandma's. PERFECT day for pool weather. We had so much fun that we decided that we would invite Papa and Deb to a day at the pool and picnic for Sunday.

That night we got invited to our neighbor's house for a picnic. The girls played until I drug them away at 9:30 p.m. We enjoyed some adult conversation, micro-brewed beer, corn hole, and s'mores!

Sunday was our trip with Papa and Deb to the pool. The girls got to show Papa just how well they learned to swim (or let go of one hand in regards to Meredith). Grandma came over for the picnic that followed. Matt did a great job cooking up some shrimp, steak, and chicken. YUM !

And finally to our only "planned" event of the weekend, we celebrated Memorial Day and Papa's 60th birthday party in Pittsburgh. We were able to get seated with food before the skies opened up and dumped on our picnic. We luckily scurried everything inside and escaped a disaster. Papa escaped any embarrassing over the hill gifts. They really under-estimated the amount of food we needed. HAHAHA. For all the pictures from Papa's birthday, click HERE.
