Memorial Day Weekend 2015

Saturday morning started with the boys heading to the farm and us girls staying back to deep clean the house. I love to clean and from what I can tell, Adalyn may have inherited that trait from me since she loves to make her bed and help me out in cleaning as well. We are up early in our house so we got an early start and was finished by 10. We then headed to the farm for the rest of the day. The weather was beautiful!

The majority of our day on the farm the kids are right along with us. We put them to work and they love it! (for now anyway lol) Normally after lunch the kids will stay in and go down for a nap. Then we are able to finish up whatever else needs to be done outside. Once they are up, they are ready to come back out with us. They love having a push up as an afternoon snack so we happily oblige!

Sunday morning we went to early service and then Sunday School before going to my parents to cook out and swim. The kids changed as soon as we walked in the door and jumped in. 

Their first swim of the season!

We pulled them out after about 30 minutes because lunch was ready. Adam grilled Clark Farms burgers and some hot dogs and we had all the fixings to go with it. 

DELICIOUS!

After lunch, we went right back outside. These two kids swam for around 3 1/2 hours that afternoon. Stright. No breaks. The water was freezing but it didn't bother them at all. Adam was brave enough to get in though. My mom and I layed out and soaked up the sun that afternoon. It was glorious.

Later on, Adam and my dad headed to Hillsboro to deal with hay so my mom and I got the kids out of the pool (finally!) and went to the front yard. We colored with chalk, played with tractors and trucks, painted fingernails and put a puzzle together. The weather was perfect that evening! The best breeze ever. The kids had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for supper and they each ate about an entire bag of chips to go along with it. lol I dont know about you but potato chips and swimming just kind of go together, am I right? 

Once the guys arrived back home, we warmed up some more burgers and ate a late supper. 

And what did these two do?

Jumped back in the swimming pool.

We let them skip their nap that day and they literally swam all afternoon/evening long! 

Landon also received a much needed haircut out on the deck on this night as well. Adam and I left around 8:00 and the kids were already bathed in bed watching TV. 

Swimming will wipe some kids out!

We decided to swim and cookout on Sunday since we knew the weather wasn't going to be so favorable on Memorial Day. Adam and I woke up and went outside to finish working in the back yard and then headed to Wal-Mart to buy groceries. We then picked up the kids and came back for naps. Once they were up, we headed to Dustin and Christina's house for the rest of the night to eat pizza and play! We got home late and went straight to bed. We had such a fun time!

Hope you guys had a fun Memorial Day weekend, too!
