Memorial Day Weekend

My Memorial Day started off early because I got to go to the first grade fairy tail plays. I know you're jealous. 

If I am being honest, they weren't that great. It was hard to both see and hear but who cares? It's first grade. We did get to finally see all the dioramas. Here is a smattering of most of them:

We also got to spend some time with our kids and read. And I enjoyed that too. 

Friday night, we went to see M's friends play baseball. This is not our family's sport but we were happy to go and support them for a single game. 

It was cute to watch her watch the game. She ran up to one of her friends to tell him he had a nice hit, and he reacted so sweetly. He tossed his head back and was like "no big deal" but he was beaming that a classmate came to see. There were 4 of her friend's on the team and we knew a couple of the other kids as well. The best part was the team they played also had some kids from our school so she knew some of those kids too. 

Plus, at one point Husband got to hold a three week old baby. And that's always fun! 

Also on Friday night, Husband and I put together our new grill!! 

We have used the same Weber charcoal grill since we got married. It works perfectly fine. But after work, getting the grill going can be a real pain. Last summer we actively avoided grilling because we either didn't want to smell like charcoal or it would take too long. So having a gas grill is a real treat. 

We gave our Weber to one of Husband's employees. She's just a year out of college and happy to have our old grill. She already used it this weekend in fact.  

Saturday we took the kids to play laser tag and the arcade to celebrate C a little more. We went right away in the morning and got to play laser tag just the four of us! Which was great because the kids had never played before. We had a good time! 

For the arcade we got time cards where they could play as much as they wanted for 30 minutes. The only thing they couldn't do was earn a prize. (Darn, no lame plastic-y garbage for me to throw away a few weeks later.) We had a lot of fun. Everyone's favorite game was the Down the Clown Game

I took no pictures of that though because we were having fun. 

Saturday night, Husband and I had a little date night fire. 

We didn't talk about much at all but somehow talked for 3 hours. The BEST. 

Sunday and Monday were SUPER low key. Mass. A grad party open house. And I did a lot of laundry. And I took no pictures. But it was good. I love a low key few days and a paid holiday. I slept in so I could get paid to sleep. (I enjoyed it too.) 

And now we are in the final push, last week of school and a Tuesday that feels like a Monday. We can do it!!
