Mighty

I had all these plans for great pictures of Memorial Day weekend. You know, farmers market, thrifting, mowing, planting flowers, nieces birthday, and everything else that kept me from just laying around on my sofa all weekend. But that doesn't matter now, becasue the time is gone and I don't have ONE single photo to show from my mighty weekend. Good news is, someone else probably took most of the same photos, don't fret-they’re on the internet some place, they are just not of me or my life :) SO instead, imaginary pictures with descriptions. Besides, (even though I follow them closely) I get tired of bloggers and massive photo sessions of themselves.....

Started with my niece's 7th birthday. That was not a major downer, the girl got a trampoline. It's funny how after some time has gone by (plus having a child), those things are just not what they use to be. I definitely can't jump as high as I used too and when I did get a little high my comfort level began to be messed with (28, really?) But my nieces (Madison-10, Emmie-7, and Sofie-4) had no trouble acting as I did on this thing when I was a kid. But I do contribute all of my knee issues to spending 10 years of my childhood on a trampoline. I have the knees of an 80 year old woman or man??

Then the first trip to the farmers market of the summer session. It's early so the things I was on hunt for were not to their fullest potential. Walked away with asparagus and tomatoes. Next time my load WILL be heavier. Also did a stroll to Homer's to pick up the new LCD album but didn't realize they don't work on my mommy schedule....they didn't open until 10 and we were there at 8:30. (ended up buying the album on iTunes)

Did a small get together with my boyfriends family. His nephew has been asking (for every holiday) for 2x4's, just 2x4's. FUNNY! But it all paid off this weekend when the most awesome fort to be made was made. Of course, Bret couldn't help but dive in to this construction. We ended up staying longer than planned and even going back the next day. And no arguments from me because I am in love with his family. His sister, Lisa, has 4 child. 1 set of twins who are 2years old and I spend my time trying to interrupt their talk. giggles all day. But let me go back to before Lisa’s, we had lunch after the farmer's market with Bret's other sister, Brooke. Hamburgers on a well set table in the front yard underneath the best tree in the neighborhood. Brooke has 2 children and 1 out of the 2 like me :) Not kidding, I'm still working on that relationship.

That night, a girl outing with Niki and Jess to Sex and the City 2. 1 large diet Coke later, I was squirming in my chair to hold it until the end of the movie. Bad idea, because the movie was GREAT!!! and then after the movie a few glasses of wine on a Dundee patio until last call.

We did a BBQ at Niki's place the next day. And that is always a treat, her boyfriend does the cooking and his chef skills come in handy for me to have a great meal. Kristin, Jeff, Kaydence, Bret, Courtney and myself had an overall good time. Kristin and I were our signifigants DD, though :)

Then last but not least, drive to York to get Jaxson. He is home from his dad's and that is always the end of a mighty mighty good weekend. Having him safely home is all I need at the end of a day.

Suggestions for the next holiday weekend....American flag bathing suits and photos. Man....I'm so frustrated that I took NO pictures.....
