Happy Memorial Day????

It's raining again in Texas, which is almost unheard of! It has rained almost every day for weeks now! The pool even overflowed yesterday!
So today is Memorial Day. We got a call at 8 which we almost didn't answer but are sure glad we did...Scott's friend who lives nearby was at Round Rock Doughnuts and wanted to know if we wanted any. So by 9 we had fresh doughnuts delivered to our front door...can't beat a friend like that! So we got to stay in bed and watch the Today Show, which brings me to my title...Lester wanted to know if you can say "Happy" Memorial Day when it is not really about a vacation day...supposed to be about remembering those who passed. Interesting thought.
We have big plans for our first week of summer vacation. Last night Scott and I went to Olive Garden to dinner. We hadn't been there for years and it was excellent! Marcus watched the girls...they were asleep in bed by the time we got home. Awesome!!!
I had to pay for day care for the girls through June 15 so I am using that time very wisely. Tomorrow Payton is going to school so Marcus, Carsyn and I can go see Shrek 3. Wednesday the carpet cleaners are coming to help with the Carsyn/Hawaiian Punch nightmare. We have high hopes for removal of red vomit even though the cleaners do not.
Thursday the house cleaners are coming so girls are going to school and Marcus and I are headed to IKEA in Austin. We have lots of organization products in mind. As well as redoing Marcus' room. It is currently ranch-style and he wants beach-style.
Friday is open. Hmmm...any suggestions? More than like a mani/pedi will be in order!
Guess I will end this now. Happy summer to those of you who are done!!!

It was 66 degrees went I left the house this morning! Unheard of... and it was 9:15! My week's big plans consist of packing and 2 days in a car with an almost 4 year old and 3 month old. Fun times!! Thank goodness for the new car with the dvd player!

Bad news-8 1/2 more days. Good news- our weather is nicer than Texas right now. We had some rain Sat. then warm & humid yesterday,sunny & nice today. The Cavs and Indians both won, I've eaten well, and got to hold a 3 week old today. Life is good. How cool that Marcus like to shop with you, even if it is for him.

Yes, the weather here sounds nicer than the weather there, even though you need the rain. But I hope it ends by the time we come down so we don't have to stay inside ALL day. Enjoy your week. Sounds like some fun times. MOM
