Memorial Weekend

We had so much fun with friends this weekend AND managed to get some stuff done around the house. Chris took Friday off to make it a 4 day weekend and we started it off by biking to My Favorite Muffin with Cailey and Alison to celebrate her last day of school. 

Memorable morning conversation #1:
As we are riding down the street, "Hey Mommy! Mommy! I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"I have to tell you first!"
"Ok, tell me!"
"You wanna talk about zombies with me?"

Memorable morning quote #2:
Sitting on the windowsill in the restaurant Knox loudly and repeatedly announces,
"I'm sittin' like a {mispronounced} bench!"

Then Chris took Knox to see Ironman 3 and play video game at the movie theatre.
Saturday evening we spent a couple streets over with friends and neighbors who were awesome enough to have a LARGE blowup pool for the kids when their first one is still on the way.
{I will hopefully get the few Friday/Saturday pictures off my phone and add them asap.}

And Sunday was beach day!

The bug waiting for us to finish loading up and apparently devising a way to make that process go quicker.


After standstill traffic on the causeway and CRAZY amounts of people/cars on the beach we FINALLY made it to the sand.


Gabe and Indie - the 2 month difference seemed a lot bigger when we saw him last fall!



Shelley, Trey & Gabe. It was his FIRST real beach trip.


The Jabberwocky and Indie hung out eating sand together.



Luckily they left enough for Knox to build sandcastles for his cowboys & Indians.



Indie dared to venture towards Knox's stuff. He threw sand at her.




Knox also threw wet sand at her.



Uncle Trey showing Knox a crab.





I had to get in one shot to prove I was there. Maybe next beach trip I can be captured doing something other than this.


Monday morning. Indie is climbing stairs, onto the trampoline, and trying to get up on the horse. She also follows us around the house and sneaks off into rooms by herself {or with The Jabs}.


Chris used a random post left standing in the yard to make a surfboard rack.







Biggest project yet! I don't have an official giant lava rock garden "before" picture, but here's a couple I dug up from Knox's birthday party last year {one week after we moved in}.



Nine months later we got rid of the lava rock and {although it's still a little bit of a work in progress} have a future vegetable/herb garden and sitting area! The chairs that flank that table were up on the deck this morning.




Chillin' before heading off to the neighborhood Memorial Day picnic.


Abigail and Indie.


Ella and Indie.


And Spider-boy with a crocodile arm and his third ballon sword. That grass is lethal for those things.
