memorial day...2 wks late

alright, this is the 2nd attempt at this post - this version is sure to be much shorter and not as eloquent as the one i just completed but disappeared into thin air...i'm not a happy blogger right now.
it started something like this....

a lot has happened in the last 2 weeks - and obviously i haven't been doing a good job of keeping up with my blogging...so hope you're ready to do some serious reading. i'm hoping to get all of my blog ideas from the past 15 days posted in the next 3...we'll see how that goes.

memorial day - the brummers invited us over for a memorial day bbq - which worked out well, considering we had no plans. i threw together a fruit salad, tommy sliced a watermelon & kennedie played while we got everything together - then we were off. 


their backyard is the perfect place for a get together - swings, cards, sandbox, slide & a pool for the kids; yard games & beer for the adults. kennedie, the water-lover she is, went straight for the pool. mommy tried to discourage water play (it was pretty cold & she had forgotten to pack an extra set of clothes) but kennedie would have none of it. reluctantly i stripped off her clothes & let her saunter around in her diaper both in & out of the water. besides, watermelon eating is much better in the nude - did you know watermelon stains? kennedie & macklin had fun scooping & dumping water as well as playing with cayle's construction vehicles in the pool! and between the two of them, they probably finished 1/4 of the watermelon themselves :)


after 'helping' daddy play cornhole with the guys, kennedie decided she was ready to eat some lunch. the soft sugar cookie with about 1/2 inch of blue frosting was her favorite part ;)


once she had had her fill, the allure of the pool was too much to bear, she just couldn't resist. this time it was cayle who joined in her water play. kennedie was also very curious about the doggy door...having never seen one before - she had to explore that too!


thanks to the brummers for all memorial day memories!
