Mother’s Day Weekend

I had a great Mother's Day this year. On Saturday, we went to Home Depot and bought not only my mother's day gift, which was patio furniture, but also bought Eric's Father's Day gift...a new Weber grill. So now we are ready for some summer grillin'. It took forever at Home Depot to get everything loaded and we actually had to rent a truck to get everything home. Marin was so tired after that little trip.

On Sunday, we did a little shopping and then we found Marin's little blow up pool and put it in the backyard for her to play in. At first she was scared and didn't want to be in there. She just wanted to stand by it and put her hands in the water. So I finally put my bathing suit on and crawled in the tiny pool and put her on my knee. I probably looked ridiculous but I'll do some crazy things for my daughter to make her happy. She finally scooted off my knee and sat in the pool by herself. She had loads of fun playing with her submarine toy that her Aunt Tracy got her for her birthday. We got a little tan, too.

Sunday night, we watched TV outside on the projector. Eric set up the theater in the backyard. He was able to cut down the huge billboard tarp and hang it up against the house. It was a little chilly that night so we bundled up in blankets on the grass. Overall, it was a very pleasant weekend. How will we top this for the next Mother's day?
