Memorial Weekend

Wow! Already Memorial Day weekend. I remember thinking how far away it seemed after the New Year (that LONG period without any holidays off from work) and here it is already! The official start to summer. Looks like the weather here will be decent overall, which is good cause I have lots to do.

Saturday: Hoping to maybe check out Brat Fest or take a trip to the zoo.

Sunday: My in-laws are picking Lauren up in the morning for an outing at the park and then lunch. I am hoping to get some yardwork done while she is away.

Monday: This day is dedicated to our annual garage sale. The sale will be May 29, 30 and 31. We will spend all day getting things set up and boy do we have a lot to sell!! I plan to take numerous pictures of this event. Again, Lauren is hanging out with my in-laws and her cousins.


I also made a decision to purchase a small camera to keep in my purse for outings and such. I love my Nikon D40, but it is rather large to lug around sometimes. I am currently bidding on a Canon Powershot in a cute baby blue color. That way I can document more of the outings we go on as a family. Hope I win!!
