Leaving the office early today to get some things done before I go and pick up David & Chloe tomorrow! I think Brian and I are both really looking forward to a relaxing weekend of sun and well, beer. :) In fact I can't remember the last time I had 3 days off, so I will definitely be taking advantage. Sunday we're all going to the parents' house for a cookout. I do not think there is much of anything that I enjoy more than hanging out in the sun and grilling. :) Went and got Chloe a little kiddie pool and some pool toys so she will be having some fun in the sun as well. I always think of my grandparents when my family gets together in the summer. Some of my best memories of them are from when we used to get the whole family together on Sundays & all the kids would play and at the end of the day we'd all eat the gigantic dinner that my grandma and aunts had made. My grandma always made that happen, and I'm sure it was a ton of work for her, but I don't think she was ever happier. Maybe that's why I really don't mind driving to IA to get David & Chloe as often as possible...she'll remember the sunny days outside at grandma & grandpas house. And someone has to "make it happen" like my grandma did. :) She always knew what was important, and I'm sure she'll be smiling down from the sunshine on Sunday.Not sure what the plan is for Saturday is yet. Chloe usually gets to decide what we do so...we'll see!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
