Well, it has been a very long week, but yesterday, Memorial Day, my sick little boys and I were able to step outside and enjoy some long awaited sunshine. Sickness hit our household last week (exactly 24 hours after the boys attended Sunday School-amazing how that happens). So started a week of sleepless nights, miserable days stuck inside in front of the tv, tissue boxes adorning every table top. Only to begin the holiday weekend with a doctor's visit due to pink eye and an ear infection. At least the week had been just as miserable outside with very cool spring temperatures and lots of rain and wind. Inside, even if it was a sick-house, was definitely the better option.
My sweetheart gave up his three-day weekend plans of a family trip to Cabela's, target shooting, turkey hunting, and whatever else he could squeeze in, to babysit us sicko's and do some long awaited around-the-house/yard projects. Having him around for three whole days all to ourselves was just the medicine we needed, and by yesterday we were feeling up to spending the day in our back yard on a most beautiful day. The boys "helping" daddy, of course, as he did some electrical wiring for the fishpond and some outdoor lighting. And me relaxing on the back porch watching the many motorcycles that drive by on a sunny holiday. OK, I did work in a load of laundry or two in the middle of all that relaxin' ('cause clothing mountains were forming in the basement after a week of neglect!)
And here I would like to pause and say a big THANK YOU to my husband's new company for actually using a uniform service! No more washing work clothes for me! Yippeeee!!
So, today, the hubby is back to work, it's dismal and rainy again, and me and the boys are lounging. We're not back to full steam yet, and yesterday's outside fun was exhausting. Ours was a very low-key Memorial Day weekend spent at home, but we were together as a family and life doesn't get much better. Hope you enjoyed your holiday as much as we did.
