Memorial Day Weekend, Nesting, Etc.

I really enjoyed this Memorial weekend because it helped satisfy the Nesting insticts that have been plagueing me for the last few weeks. It is frustrating because I have little energy and I can not do a lot of work that I want to get done myself and have to rely on others to get big jobs done. Rob has been a great sport and I think he has caught a little bit of the nesting bug himself because in the last few weeks we have been able to go through and mostly organize our entire home. We have been through every drawer, closet, etc and thrown out and donated bags and bags of stuff. Rob even held a garage sale a few weeks ago during our community sale almost completely by himself because we had so much to get rid of.
So this weekend, we were able to finally finish the home organization we started last month and get out all the baby stuff. It is so nice to have the house organized before the baby comes and now we can fill up all the extra space with food storage which is the next project we need to work on.
While Rob and I spent our weekend at home working, my parents were in town to entertain the kids. On Friday, we met Rob at Bahama Breeze for dinner and were also joined by my sister Nancy. It was a great way to start off the weekend. Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa played with the kids outside where they enjoyed the sprinklers with their friends next door and ate pizza for lunch.
After lunch, the grandparents took the kids to an indoor inflatable play gym and Grandma gave Callie a summer haircut.

That night they made homemade ice cream with Grandpa and they loved helping add the ice and salt.
On Sunday, we enjoyed a nice quiet day after church and for dinner tried Oprah's favorite turkey burger recipe(we were not impressed--Rob's are much better) and the best corn on the cob that we bought on Saturday from a local nursery. Monday, Rob and I finished our projects and Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to get some vegetable plants and planted them in pots on the back porch. Gardening is Jack's new hobby and he is so good at remembering to water the plants outside every day when previously they were neglected. This weekend was also a great time for us to get help eating up all our cereal. We had 28 boxes of cereal in our pantry probably due to Rob's weakness for cereal and Buy 1 Get 1 free deals but most of them had been opened. I think we are now down to 23 thanks to the Grandparents and them taking some home.

In other news, Rob recently picked up Callie's dance recital costume. Callie was in dance class since last August but, when I was put on bedrest, she was missing all the classes because she spent weeks away at Grandma's or other's homes and we could not get her there so we had to drop out especially since we had no clue when I would be able to start taking her again. Unfortunately, we had already paid for the dance recital costume and could not be refunded. When the costume came in last week, they called us to come pick it up. Callie, of coarse, loves it and it will now be a very expensive dress up outfit. Hopefully, she can start dance again in the Fall.
