Memorial Day

So this week I started my Accounting 1 class - 8 weeks, 2 days a week, 5:30-9:30. I was pretty much dreading this class. This is actually the second time I've had to take this class, the first time I was pregnant with Connor and just didn't feel like going, so I ended up dropping the class. What a dumb mistake that was! The instructor had e-mailed us this past weekend and said if you wanted to get a head start you could read the first chapter and do the first online assignment (7 questions). Well, you know what? I was the only one in his 2 classes that actually did it! Jeez....... lol!

So, for Memorial Day the last couple of years we end up going to the Monona Parade and watching Scott's Mom march! The kids have a blast and it's always a great time. They love getting candy (and who am I kidding, so do I!) and also being able to see grandma. This year it was a pretty hot day outside and Donovan ended up leaving the parade (I think about 1/2 way through, but I don't remember for sure) but the rest of us powered through it and made it all the way to the end. I can't imagine how hot all the people who had to march were considering how hot we were! Thankfully before the parade started, Scott's Dad & I walked down the street to the gas station with the two boys to go to the bathroom and to get slushies!

Hall Pass

So how was every one's Memorial Day Weekend? Ours was pretty good I guess, can't complain to much. However, I do have to take a second and say to a family friend Betty that we are thinking of you and if you need anything let us know (if you know Betty make sure you send her a note, or card or something, her dad passed away this weekend).

A few weeks ago we finally got around to watching the movie Hall Pass. I know it's been out for awhile but we never got around to seeing it. Okay, so the movie was pretty funny and I will say I didn't hate the movie, however some of the humor was a little more crude than I like and this is a movie you definitely need to wait until the kids are sleeping to watch. Not entirely sure I'll ever have a need to watch it again but like I said before I didn't hate it and I did laugh at parts.

Mother's Day

I love long weekends! So glad we don't have to go back to work tomorrow - with everything thats been going on this weekend its nice to have that extra day. What is everyone doing for Memorial Day? We're going to the parade in Monona then we'll probably have to hit up the grocery store and Menards.

I know I'm a little behind in this but I wanted to post about Mother's Day. For my present Scott helped the kids create a (very) large coffee mug with their feet prints on it (Connor has big feet that's why it had to be big, lol). I absolutely love it!! We met up with John, Carol & Joan for breakfast at Nauti Gal's then headed over to Jim & Pat's to let the kids play outside for awhile. So overall it was a pretty low key day but it was nice. I even got to take a nap! (I love naps!)

Memorial Day

Can you believe it's June already? I can't.....it seems like yesterday there was snow on the ground, and now it's going to be around 90 degrees on Friday. This weekend is going to be another busy one. We have AJ's 1st Birthday Party on Saturday, and also Molly's graduation party later on in the afternoon. And also, Friday night, we'll be celebrating Matt's Birthday. We also need to start cleaning the house because I have my Tastefully Simple Party the following Sunday on the 12th.

So this past Monday was Memorial Day. It was pretty eventful day. We started the day by going to Monona to watch Scott's mom as she marched in the parade. Connor had a blast trying to get all the candy that was thrown, even if the bigger kids were being kind of mean and getting most of it, but oh well, he doesn't need all that candy anyways. Afterwards we went home and I planted my garden finally, we headed to brat fest for a little while (Brats, Corn & ice cream = summer is officially here!) we finished the day just relaxing at home and playing with the hose (Connor has a blast squirting Scott, lol).
