John and I joined a couple of other couples for dinner at 42 and The Sound of Music, both of which were totally delightful. (As a side note - this photo is from last weekend. I saw a pic of this same spot from tonight, and the river is creeping towards that high bridge and hasn't crested yet. The flooding here really is insane!)

On Sunday afternoon, we headed to some friends house for a family sleepover. Since their pool is officially open for the summer, the kiddos basically swam all evening and then most of the day on Monday as well. We wore them out! We also ate very well.




Both Marla and I like a theme, so we were glad to be part of Memorial Day and honoring the lives that have been spent for our freedoms. I'm so thankful to live in the USA and thankful to those who make it possible.



This week we've been to movies twice at 10 a.m. We LOVED the new Aladdin and have been jamming out to it's soundtrack all week. Hotel Transylvania 3 reminded Violet of how much she likes the Macarena, so we've also been watching that on YouTube. 💃🏿

And, having grandparents in town really is so wonderful, because they offered to take the kiddos on Wednesday for swimming and playing, and everyone had a great time. Especially me by myself. 😜
Yesterday, we did the movie, lunch at CFA, ran lunch to friends at the hospital and then went to not one, but TWO, trampoline parks. We were gone from 9:30-4:30, and when we got home, the kiddos asked what we were going to do. 😳🤦🏻♀️ I told them that I was done being their event coordinator, and they would have to figure it out and no they could not turn on the TV. It will certainly be a trick to strike the balance between activity and letting them be "bored." 🤷🏻♀️
We are off to a strong start, and I'm looking forward to all of the fun (and refining!) time we will have together for the next several months!
