Nothing says Memorial Day like playing with easter eggs in the closet...

Yes, we did spend part of the weekend playing with holiday decorations in the closet, as most of yesterday we were under a tornado watch! In-between the torrential downpour, thunder and lightning that lasted most of the weekend, there were a few perfect moments of sunshine which just happened to come right when we had outdoor activities planned. We attended three rain-free parties, including Clark's buddy Cam's 3rd birthday.

The day we got the invitation to Cam's party, I showed it to Clark and he was certain that we were going to Cam's party right then and there. He cried when we went home instead. Then when it was Cam's actual birthday and his mom brought cupcakes to class, the same thing happened. "It's Cam's birthday! We going to Cam's party!" Sweet boy, he had to wait until Sunday but he sure enjoyed it. We also celebrated Ruby's 1st birthday and Aurora went to a 7th birthday party. Then we attended a surprise party while getting an oil change (which turned into an oil change and 4 new tires), as the Mazda dealership grilled up hotdogs and hamburgers to feed all their customers.

Can we call that a party? There were lots of kids and it did last for 2 full hours. Grilling up burgers while getting the car serviced sounds like a much more patriotic way to spend Memorial Day than playing with easter eggs in the closet. But hey, we got to do both!
