Fourth of July weekend
I hope everyone has a safe and wonderul holiday weekend. Ours was very quiet which is unusal for us. Crystal stayed in Baltimore and Micki and her family went to the mountains for the weekend so it was just Cindy and her family and Ray and myself.
Saturday Ray and I went to Nancy's and I took her to Krogers while he worked on setting up a new computer table for her. This was the first time in almost a year that Nancy had gone shopping. We've been doing it for her. She enjoyed her outing but was pretty tired when we got back to her house. Hopefully she can work out her finances and get her hip replacement surgeries and be able to get on with her life.
Cindy and Chris put polyurathane on their floors Sunday and spent the night with us Sunday night. That was a lot of fun. It was nice to wake up again and have little ones climb in bed with us. Ours girls did that about every weekend while they were little. Maddie has been here weekends and we've been lazy with her but not Noah until this morning. But that's another story.
Nancy bought a London Broil while we were shopping on Saturday so we invited Cindy and family to have dinner with us Monday so Cindy and Chris brought another Longon Broil and Chris cooked both of them for dinner on Monday. MMMMMM they were good! Ray had a meeting at church and Cindy and Chris left the kids with me and Nancy while they went home to put Izzy's bedroom back together. I was kinda hoping they would spend the second night but that was a little unrealistic. No reason for them not to sleep in their own beds where they can rest better.
Not much swimming over the weekend. It rained and stormed quite a bit. It's kinda dreary today so maybe it's supposed to rain again. I didn't listen to a forecast this morning.
Tuesday morning we went with Cindy and Chris to take Izzy to a movie. That was fun. He was so enthralled with the movie and his popcorn. I usually keep Sophia while the girls take the other kids so this was her first experience at a movie and she did really well. She got a bit antsy the last fifteen minutes so Ray took her to the lobby. After the movie we did some shopping and had lunch. Everyone was tired when we got home that evening but it had been a fun day. I think this is the first 4th of July that we didn't have a cookout here with all the kids.
Micki, Johnny and Noah got home Tuesday evening. Maddie decided to stay in the mountains with some of her cousins from KY that she doesn't get to see often. She'll be home Sunday afternoon. I sure hope she's having a good time. She probably needed a little vacation from Noah. She adores him but he does wear us out. Most two year olds do. They're so active!
Micki and Johnny went to a movie at midnight last night so we kept Noah all night. Hey, he even slept all night! At 6:30 when the alarm went off he thought it was the phone and wanted to talk to mommy. I put him in bed with us for a few minutes to cuddle but then Ray had to ruin the moment by getting ready for work! LOL Noah had breakfast with papa and was so sweet and loving all morning but he sure wore me out. He was into everything with a big smile and lots of hugs and kisses. I'm not much of a morning person so it was hard for me to keep up with him. Johnny came after him about 9:30 and I was tempted to take a nap but alas, I have to much to do today.
Guess I need to get busy if I'm going to get anything accomplished today.
