I hope everyone has enjoyed some down time this extra long weekend. Whether you are part of our military, a veteran or the supportive family behind the uniform, thank you. We too often forget how much our military families sacrifice for us. Every time I travel overseas it becomes very prominent in my mind of just how blessed we truly are. Thank You.
Here is just a little bit of how we spent our down time. I was so proud of my older children for happily taking their little brother on rides so that he could enjoy himself too. This is one of the benefits of having older children that are still young enough to humble themselves in the ‘baby rides’. 🙂
After we had a very non-traditional Memorial Day cookout of yummy chicken and rice wraps we just had some fun in the yard. I love the expression on our youngest face as he heads towards danger. 😉
And of course we made a run for Best Buy. We told the kids that each week this summer we’ll give them some assignments to do that can earn them money. So they spent a bit of time looking around the store to find what their goal was to save up to. This works parents, FYI. We did this all school year with ‘extras’ around the house and getting straight A’s and it works! Of course we walked out with a Wii game for little man….he was just too cute to say no to. I’m a sucker, what can I say.
