Summer Sneak Peak

This was a super fun week.  Well, it should have been a super fun week, but part of our Friday plans got squashed because I came down with an infection, but I digress, and in any case it was still a fun week if not a super fun week.  Monday was Memorial Day and, aside from the true meaning of the day, it meant that the kids were off of school and Jeremy was home from work.

We started celebrating on Sunday at Nana and Papa's house with a paintball fight.  The kids had all gotten throwable (and washable) paintballs from the Easter Bunny and we had been waiting for the perfect chance to use them.  This seemed liked it!  In addition to just throwing the paintballs at each other (which the big kids were really into) we had a big piece of wood with targets for them to throw at (which the little kids were really into).  Everyone had a blast and everything washed out surprisingly well.  Carrgian had one spot on her wrist that was orange for a couple of days but I don't think any of the clothes got ruined.

On Monday we took advantage of the day off to get a few things done around the house but still made sure we had time to visit the pool for the first time this year, go miniature golfing and go to dinner.  I know Memorial Day is about so much more than just having a day off from school and work, but I feel like it was just what my family needed to recharge.

Tuesday it was back to the routine, but only for a few days because Merrick had Friday off school this week as well.  He and I were able to spend a little bit of time together in the morning while Carrigan was at school and then we all went to the bounce house with our Brown cousins.  We had planned to go swimming after that but, like I mentioned in the beginning, I started getting really sick  so we had to call things off.

I have to say though it still sounds like a pretty fun week all in all and just a preview of the fun ahead.  This week is Carrigan's last week of preschool and Merrick has one more week after that.  It is getting so close!
