Memorial Day

Some freinds of ours are moving from our neighborhood. They are so lucky because they are moving to a part of Texas that is only 45 minutes from where my parents live! They have been busy cleaning and working on their house so they can sell it. Today we watched Andrew for a few hours while they got stuff done. I promise Andrew is one of the sweetest two year old boys I know. He reminds me a lot of Ethan when he was that age. He and Hailey get along great and it was a joy to watch him today. I am really going to miss his family! Today things got kind of quiet and when I went to find Andrew he was playing with baby dolls. And that's what he spent a big part of the day doing! Such a funny little guy.

Cody and I barely did anything today but houswork. Kind of a crummy way to spend a holiday, but then again it was crummy weather outside so there wasn't much else to do. None of us wanted dinner because we grazed all day. So we decided to get ice cream for dinner instead! What a fun way to spend the evening. BTW, Ethan is sitting by himself at the counter in this picture. He insisted in being a big kid. Kind of makes me sad!

After ice cream we decided to brave the elements and go to the park. Ethan's graduation was at this really great park near the foothills and we promised we would let them go back there and play. There is something almost magical about a new park to explore. The kids loved playing tonight. But who would think it would be in the 40s on Memorial Day???

Cody stayed in the car with Lauren while we played because it was so cold! When I got the kids ready to get back in the car this is what I saw. Lauren was sitting in Cody's lap having so much fun playing with the buttons and honking the horn!
