Memorial Day Weekend

So Memorial Day Weekend starting out with Jack getting sick on Saturday. First he threw up his yogurt around mid-morning and then he capped off the evening by throwing up on his father's shoulder! Ahhh... what fun. But that didn't scare away Chrissy and Mike Buttigieg who were in town for a weekend wedding from DC. As we chatted in the family room we heard a "chink chink chink." What was that? Oh yes, that was Stephen's wedding ring falling out of his hand and deep into the couch. Here is the search:



Eventually he found it, but Stephen had to cut into the lining of the couch to get it out! He also found my watch which I hadn't seen in months.

Last night we had our neighbors over for a bbq. Sarah, Tom and baby Ryan (10 months) came over for some ribs and corn on the cob. The ribs were yummy (and messy) and the kids are starting to play together which is nice. It's nice to have great neighbors literally 20 feet away.

Then this morning we got out of the house early to watch the Foxboro Memorial Day parade at the town square. I was envisioning bands, balloon vendors, clowns, fire trucks... the whole nine yards. What did we get? Oh yes, a handful of cute, old veterans. The high school marching band. The local boy and girl scout troops. That's it! The parade couldn't have been more than 200 feet long. Kind of humorous. Regardless, Jack had a good time starting, waving and saying hi to people.


While we were watching the parade we ran into one of Jack's teachers from the Y... This is Jess and Jack. She says Jack is everyone's favorite. Awww....


After the parade we went and bought some flowers, Jack fell asleep in the car on the way home so I took advantage of Jack's first nap and planted the fleurs in the front container. Meanwhile Stephen vacuumed the car and is going to paint the shed. I need to go get more flowers for the front section and the flower box on the shed. Gotta run...
