Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fun Memorial Day weekend, despite all the rain. On Saturday I forced everyone to work in the yard ALL day. Since our flower gardens were weeded for my birthday, I want to keep them under control so I made everyone weed and then we mowed the lawn. The yard looks great now! We put some weed control in all the flower beds so hopefully we won't have to do this again for awhile. Luckily, it didn't start raining until right after we finished it all.
Sunday night we had movie night. We watched Gnomeo and Juliet together.
Since everyone worked all day in the yard, they earned the right to go see Kung Fu Panda 2. We went to see that this afternoon. We all love going to the movie theatre and pigging out on popcorn and candy. It was a cute movie!
Tonight we had a Bar-B-Q with Dale's family. We lucked out with the rain again. It was raining right before and a little while we cooked dinner but stopped while we were eating and we were able to play outside. The boys had a great game of basketball while the kids did all sorts of things together outside.
I'm glad that my kids live close to their cousins and have such a great time together! Katie and Macey are so cute together. Long after everyone else was done eating, they sat and talked and ate together in the clubhouse. It was fun weekend. Too bad everyone has to go back to school tomorrow!
