What a crazy, busy, FUN long weekend we had!! I didn't know you could do so much in just a few short days!

Our weekend actually started on Thursday when my wonderfully glorious friend Sue drove down (up...across...whatever!) from Sechelt B.C. (Canada!) to spend the weekend with our family....let me just say..she REALLY needs a GPS! hahaha...

While the kids were at school on Friday, we went out for lunch (Red Robin) and did some shopping. Friday night we had a bonfire..which was much needed as we had several trees that had fallen during the winter snows we had had and we really needed to burn them before the summer burn ban came into effect. We giggled and laughed and giggled some more. Our travels down 'memory lane' were extensive and I think our kids all learned some new things about their moms! Not sure if that is a good thing or not! :)

Sue tried to escape on Saturday to head to Bellingham to do some shopping at the outlet stores but Mark and I refused to let her leave! We went to my other glorious friend Bobbi's house for a bbq....what food...what fun...what a night!

Sue left on Sunday...I wasn't happy but she DID have to get home at some point in time! I used the day to tape off the laundry room and get it ready for painting...I have done one wall and the other three await my further attention. Once the walls are painted, I can put up the wallpaper border that we found. Once that is all done, I will take pictures and post them.....

Monday found Mark doing alot of things outside. He started to build the brick retaining/garden wall along the front of the house (we worked on the back last year and so this year the front is our mission). He also did a bit more on the fence in the play area that I need for my after school care program I am starting...I know..like I have time to add ANOTHER thing to my already busy life! :)

This coming weekend we are headed up to Whidbey Island to spend a few days with Peggy and Gordon. That is always relaxing as we usually nosh (yes Dad, that IS a word!) on pizza and watch movies....just a nice time laying around and being lazy for a change!

The following weekend Ben has a t-Ball game...Sam has a field trip with his Japanese class into Seattle and Shelby arrives (all in one day! whew!). Not too sure what fun things we are going to do this summer, but we will of course take pics and post them as we do things!

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather that seems to be consistent from one coast to the other!

Hugs
