Goodbye May......I need a nap.

The month of May has been quite exhausting......cheerleading competition, trip to Newport News, Camp LuCK, and this past weekend Phil's parents came to visit. For many reasons I am looking forward to going to work Tuesday. Mostly, I think, is just to get back to normal everyday life. We did have a nice visit with his parents and I was......the best way I can tell is.... very proud of Phil. I can't go into great detail about it, but he reminded me this weekend why I agreed to marry back in 97.

Due to the fact it was to rain most of the weekend, I mowed the grass Friday and I was so glad I did. Between the rain and the hose being left on overnight the back yard needed an ark.....badly. We found a sitter for the kids, Thanks Heather, and went to dinner, Saturday. I have to say that is the most I have ever laughed with Phil and his parents. It was a great dinner. The kids, Phil and his parents went to the bookstore Sunday and had a ball. They came home with their new books and spent the afternoon reading them.

I did promise the kids I would take them to the park or schoolyard to play so before today was a total washout....literally....I took them up to the school to play on the playground. Did I mention Madelynn likes to swing, Kaitlynn likes the monkey bars, Jack just runs back and forth between the slides and swings. Suddenly we heard big rolls of thunder and decided it was best to go home. It rained small children, cats and dogs, you name it it fell out of the sky today. I was really glad we went this morning.

Before we left the schoolyard to avoid the rain I did get some pictures.

If nothing else I hope everyone was able to just enjoy their families this weekend. To those service men and women that could not be with their families this weekend......from our family to your we THANK YOU very much.

TTFN~
