Memorial Day Weekend

What a wonderful weekend this was! We were going to grill out on Friday night, but in making sure the drill worked, we ran out of propane... so the grilling was postponed until Saturday night. I think we had something like cereal for dinner Fridday night...

The weather was great all weekend. Sunday, we went to our friend Anna's house and had a great cookout with her sister and her parents, as well as her little boy who is 5. It was great to get together and show off Maia. We had a great time and even got to play with the very elusive Wii... I don't know how everyone else can get them... I can't seem to find one to save my life. Matthew and I played boxing, and I knocked him out!! It's a little weird boxing with your kid... maybe this is good anger management?? I DO know it is GOOD exercise. We were both out of breath after our 3 round game, pretty sad. (He had just played a game before playing me though... so he was up to 6 rounds.) Still, we were beat!

The pictures of Maia and the bowl are when I served her strawberries in a bowl and some meat on a separate plate. Suffice it to say, she didn't touch the meat, but you can see the results of her and the strawberries... Instead of teaching any manners however, I took the opportunity to take some pictures....

Today we went to the pool. We just stayed in the kiddie pool the whole time, and even THAT water was like arctic temps... but the weather was pleasant, so once we went numb, it was fun. I loved Maia in her little bathing suit!! So adorable! She climbed in and out of the pool 1,000 times, and had a great time doing it. We only stayed 1.5 hours, but it was lunchtime, and more importantly, naptime, so we had to go.

I hope you all had as wonderful a weekend as we did. It was weird not to be at the beach, we are always at the beach on Memorial Day!! We missed the Pungo Strawberry Festival and everything! But, it was also nice to be home and enjoy the 3 days here for a change and not be battling traffic. Until soon....

I am having a terrible time posting pics, so more are coming, but for now, hopefully this will post.
