memorial day

On Memorial Day we went out and bought the kids a little pool. They thought it was the greatest thing ever! They loved playing in the water and being pushed down the slide on the boogy board.

We also went and visited Matt's parents grave which was interesting with the kids...they didn't quite understand. Ella kept wanting to know why we bury people under the ground and how do we open this up?? (pointing to the headstone.) But its really neat going to the cemetery when there are so many people there with their families and all of the graves are covered in flowers.

My sister Karlee came for the weekend so we had a lot of fun hanging out and playing games. It was really nice being able to lay out in the backyard with her and watch the kids play. It was a fun weekend.

That looks like such a fun weekend! With the food thing. The only thing that works for my kids is tell them if they leave the table the food will be cleared and they are done until the next meal. The only one I have worried about is my little Kailin. She is so small that I would worry if she decided to leave, but for now she loves her food too much! Good Luck!
