Memorial Day Weekend

We spent much of the weekend tidying and cleaning the house... well, *I* did anyway. Keith spent a lot of time in the yard- mowing and whatever else he does out there. It was finally warm enough this weekend to break out the little baby pool for Etta. She had fun jumping and splashing in the pool and running around the back yard.

Today, Keith got up early so he could get the ribs on the grill. They needed to be on there for three hours and we had family coming around 10:30 or so for lunch. So, he got up early enough to get the meat going by 7:30. I was still sleeping... :)

Keith's parents and grandparents and uncle arrived around 10:15 and we spent some time visitng before lunch. Then, it was time to FEAST! So. Much. Food! Etta sat at the table with us and ate cheese and pudding. She was done eating and wanted down while we were still eating. We could hear her playing in the living room, but then she was suspiciously silent. So, I went to check on her and found this:
Soon after, I put her in her room for her nap (which she didn't take right away). Mel helped clear the table and I did the dishes while everyone was visiting in the living room. Then, we joined them. They left around 2:30 or so (E fell asleep about 5 minutes before they left). Before I let them leave though, I MADE SURE we took a picture of this very handsome and patriotic group. :)
Happy Memorial Day!
