Memorial Day weekend fun...

What a great weekend it was! Saturday was cleaning the house day for me and cleaning the yard day for Chris. Then Chris took the three older Monkeys to go bowling which they quickly discovered wouldn't happen since the place closed down. A bit disappointing but the kids were happy they went mini golfing instead. Then they went to visit my father-in-laws grave. They love going there and I am really glad they see it as a "happy" place to go. (Not sure that sounds the way I mean it but hopefully you can figure it out anyway!)

Sunday was Charmingfare Farms for Chris and the three older Monkeys while I ran a bunch of errands with Ben. When everyone one was back home it was tye-dying time! The kids had a great time doing it and there wasn't even too big of a mess to clean up afterward. We first did red/white/blue shirts for Memorial day and then we added green and purple to our color scheme. I was a little bummed that the red/white/blue wasn't vibrant after I washed them and I really did follow all the directions. Oh well, it was fun anyway!

Monday was a day full of outside time! The weather was great although I didn't think it was pool weather like the kids did. They spent hours in the water and we had to drag them out when their lips were purple like Ben's!
I was excited when the three big kids happily helped me to weed the front flower garden. It desperately needed it!

Hope you all had a fun Memorial Day weekend! I know we did!
