Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend was a success.  Saturday Bill and I went and bought a new grill.  It's gas and charcoal.  He's been super happy with it so far.  We've grilled steaks Sat night and then last night we had a BBQ.  We grilled skewered veggies, and shrimp and steak.  It was super yummy.  It was all so good! 

I am so busy today cleaning house and doing up all our laundry.  Cole had Addyson spend the night last night and now his room needs a MAJOR cleaning today.  He's got to get that done before he can do anything today.  I might take them into moms later to swim, but not if this crap isn't all cleaned up and done. 

I spend the late evening after everyone left cleaning up my kitchen last night and running the dishwasher.  I got it all cleaned except for the floors swept and mopped up.  I need to get that done today. I also need to run the swiffer wet jet on all the wood floors and get up the dust from everywhere.  The last bit of the saw dusty work has been done with the house so I need to get it all whipped into shape once again!  I am forever cleaning up the messes from fixing things up around here.  One screw going into the wall makes a mountain of dust in this house.  I hate it.  I just want it all spotless and keep it that way!

I have a HUGE letter typed up and have to get them printed off.  I haven't written Danny in ages.  I've written him, but not printed them off or sent them.  I am going to print them all off and mail them out to him along with some weight loss pics and pics of my new house before and after for him! 

I need to get to putting my years worth of photos so far into photo books for the boys on snapfish and get them whipped up and started.  I just keep adding to them through the year as I take them, and come November I have them printed up and give them to the boys each year for Christmas.  It's such a neat thing to do.  I also usually do one for Bills parents and my mom and Dennis too.  It makes a really neat gift at the holidays.  A years worth of photos and memories all wrapped into one package.  They all really enjoyed it last year. 

Looks and feels like it's going to be a scorcher out there!  It's so humid already and it's only 8 am.   I'm off to get busy.  Happy Memorial Day everyone.  Hug a soldier today.  Thank the lord for the men and women who fight for our country every day and those whom have put their lives on the line for my freedom.  I am thankful.
