We have had a little bit of fun mingled in with chores so far this weekend with the boys. We had plans to camp at Pine Valley with the rest of our ward and were really quite excited about it but as we got closer and closer to the weekend though it became apparent that going would not be a good experience with our crew. The weather forecast called for rain and possibly snow. We scrapped that idea and stayed home instead.
Spencer and I kicked off the holiday weekend by pulling out anything we had that could be assembled into a patriotic display, we did a pretty good job too if I do say so myself. Spencer likes to decorate and so we have fun together doing it.
After the quick decorations at home we decided we needed some more flags to put around the house and Yard and some paint to make even more decorations. Not to mention ingredients to make a star Spangled Slime.
Friday night we kicked off with our usual pizza and a movie but we ended it with camping in the backyard. Josh, Tyler and Spencer were the outside campers. The rest of us stayed inside.
In the morning we had a nice breakfast of french toast and little smokies, then we did about a million chores. :) Ate BLT's, had some apples and veggies, and finally about 4 watched some movies and had cereal for dinner. My day is still going at 12:12 am as I wait for Grant's church shirt to get dry. I have to wash these white shirts over and over it seems to get the stains out. I finally started to pour straight bleach onto them, tossing them quickly in the wash just as soon as the stain fades. I hope I am not making slow holes in the shirts but they were next to useless the other way too being such dirty eye-sores.
Grant had some homework to catch up on and so he spent a lot of time reading newspaper articles online and writing summaries, Spencer and Josh made their room spic and span and Spencer practiced his piano like a champ.
The kids may have been disappointed that we didn't get to relax as much as they might have liked and I really would have liked for them to have more fun too but there was just so much to do.
