Memorial Day weekend

Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend. It wasn't supposed to rain. Doesn't God know that it's just cruel and evil to make it rain on a 3 day weekend when you have young children? We were planning on a weekend where the kids were going to spend a lot of time outdoors. They got about 1.5 hours outside. That means, 70.5 hours inside!

Saturday was okay. It started with a birthday party at a nearby park. It was HOT! We spent about an hour at the party and then Josh started to get cranky and it was almost nap time, so we headed out. While the kids were sleeping, in rolled the rain. We were supposed to head out to a Crawfish boil, but everyone didn't wake up until 5pm and I didn't have the host's phone number, so I couldn't call to see if they were having it and if we should still come over.

Sunday brought more rain. Jason decided to take Josh to see Shrek 4. This was in the evening after a long day of the two kids playing/fighting/playing/napping/fighting/playing, you get the picture. Jason packed up the diaper bag with a sippy cup of juice and M&M's and they headed out. Well, Kaitlyn got all upset that they were leaving and not taking her, so her and I headed to Wal-Mart. We bought some Pull-Ups for Josh, socks for Kaitlyn and then Kaitlyn got her own potty chair! She's been taking her clothes off and wanting to sit on the potty chair that we already have, but if Josh is using it as a step stool for the BIG potty, then she can't use it, so it was just easier to buy her one of her own. We got it home and she played with it for about 30 minutes until it was bedtime. Josh and Jason got home and Jason was so proud of Josh, he sat through the whole movie!!! He said he started to get antsy the last 5 minutes and wanted to go home, but as soon as he stood up, he started watching the movie again and then sat down.

Monday was another rainy day. This time it was raining when we all got up, so that wasn't fun. Jason and Josh went to the comic book store mid morning while Kaitlyn took a nap. Jason bought Josh his first comic book(s). He bought him 3 and Josh was so proud of them when he got home. Kaitlyn woke up shortly after they got home and her and I went to Hobby Lobby to buy some material so I can make her a dress. She fell in love with the material when I showed it to her and she kept saying "Mine"! Then she would snuggle with it and say "Night night". After we paid for it we went to the grocery store to buy some hamburger meat to grill. The rain had stopped and Jason was able to grill. After dinner I took the kids out for a stroll around the block. Shortly after that it was bath time and bed time for Kaitlyn. Josh watched a movie after that and was off to bed.

It wasn't the worst weekend, but it wasn't the best. We made due with what we had and made the best of it.
