This weekend we spent most of our time in the basement converting our "dumping grounds" into a pretty nice toyroom for the kids. I decided about a week ago that the dining room was no longer big enough to house all of their toys and finally got sick and tired of the overflow into the rest of the house. So, we took the toys to the basement and made our dining room into a piano/game room. The final results are "fabulous" (as Noah put it) and we're all tickled pink.
Saturday night Mark played piano for a friend's baptism and then we hurried off to eat dinner with Dad and go swimming. We swam in the outdoor pool which was great fun, especially because the wedding party next door had an awesome D.J. and the stars were out and the crickets were singing and it was warm but not humid. Kak and Dad brought Aunt Me-Me a Dairy Queen cake for her birthday, which we all enjoyed and then we relaxed in the hot tub. The boys were having so much fun doing "cannon balls" in the pool they hated to leave but at 11:00pm it was time to say farewell and get the kids tucked in bed.
Today our Primary got reorganized and much to my delight, two of my good friends were put in the Presidency. The president and myself are both due with babies in the next couple of months, so we decided today to do the Primary Program on September 11th--which means a lot of work to get ready. But it will be nice to have it done before the baby arrives and let a substitute fill in for a couple of weeks while I recoup. The rest of the afternoon was spent working on the basement. We delivered some cookies to our friends the Hoggans and visited with them for a bit, while the kids played together. And that about wraps up our weekend. Hunter starts school in four weeks and we have so much to do still--the Bronx Zoo, Maritime Aquarium, school shopping, summer reading, the beach, Stamford Nature Center, cousin Meg for a sleepover, a lemonade stand and a Bridgeport Bluefish game to name a few. So much to do. . . so little time--hopefully we can squeeze it all in.
