Random Things

We had a nice weekend. We spent almost all of Saturday outside which was nice. Katie and I went to some garage sales in the morning and picked up an outdoor slide toy for $10. I thought it was a pretty good deal since the slide was in almost perfect condition. Then we planted a bunch of flowers in the back and Brian planted the grass plugs. Sadly, he had to give up on the beautiful grass he had been working so hard on because come July/August, the grass would have died due to the heat. So, he got some St. Augustine plugs since that is what the rest of the yard is. He is hoping to make it look the best that he can.

We were outside for the majority of the day from 8:00-3:00. I am happy to report that Katie is still the whitest little girl in Florida due to all the sunblock I rubbed on her.

We went to Olive Garden for dinner and Katie was just cracking us up. You know how you get all giggly when you are overtired? Well, Katie just gets plain silly! We were eating our appetizer and when we finished the waitress came over to take our plates. She got about 3 steps away and Katie yelled at her, "Hey! Give me my dinner back!" The people around us were all laughing as was the waitress. It was pretty funny. She said that again when the waitress took our food plates away.

Sunday was pretty lazy. The kids and I went to the commissary to get some groceries and Brian stayed at home to either take a nap or clean. He managed to clean and vacuum the front room. Thanks, honey! :) It's amazing how much sand we bring in on our shoes. Our carpet is always full of sand. Brian made some steaks for dinner and we finished that off with ice cream and a family walk around the area of base housing where we live. It was beautiful outside last night. The kids were both asleep by 8:00, I got the kitchen cleaned, finished up some last minute work stuff and went to bed. Kasey woke me up at about 4:00, but went back to sleep for a couple of hours, so it was nice.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!
