Memorial Day Weekend

I took off of work on Friday to stay with Tori as Christa had plans and was unable to watch her. We spent the day running errands, at the library getting movies, and at Michael's picking up some craft supplies. Tracy's friend Kelly came to visit from Illinois that evening. We spent time at my house on Friday.

Then we went to Annie's playground on Saturday.

Saturday evening the kid's went to their old neighbor Nick's birthday party (forgot camera). They had a great time - there was a magician, good food, and lots of friends.

While the kids were at the birthday, I carved Cinderella's Castle out of poster board with an exacto, and backed it with silver paper. The kids spent at least an hour or two after the party (WAY past bedtime - but it's Friday) pasting pictures on their posters.

I like doing these things to get decorations for their walls. I'm renting this townhouse, so I'm not trying to pick out curtains or anything ;). We also got to spend time together remembering the fun we had doing Disney!

Sunday we did Church at Mountain Christian. The service was about Heaven again (did I blog last week about it?). It wasn't as good as last week, I didn't quite enjoy the speaker as much. He was a little dry. BOTH kids did the kids' programs this week, and had a ball.

Right after Church we headed to Columbia to spend the next 2 days at my parent's house swimming.

It was the typical daytime pool fun with the kids, and nighttime pool fun with the adults. The late addition of a volleyball net helped us get through the evening.

Um... oh yeah, Christian can swim. Really well. I've worked with him through last year on confidence (read: throw him in the deep end), and this year on doing it right... He's awesome. He can swim across my parents pool no problem. He jumps in the deep end and swims to the waterfalls or wherever. GO CHRISTIAN! Maybe I should sign him up for swim classes at that place I used to take him years ago... Whatever, I'm talking to myself now...
