While We Were Out: Memorial Day Weekend 2014

All I have to say is I really need another 3 day weekend to recover form this last one.
We were BUSY BUSY!
Friday the hubby got off work early and we treated ourselves to a lunch date.
 
Since he LOVES fried chicken (me not so much) He wanted to hit the local Popeye's. For the Cajun style chicken they offer.


Then it was off to get the food and all for the luau that we were hosting the next day. We spent the evening cleaning and setting up and helping a friend with her new home as she needed some lighting "expertise" and the hubby is an electrician.
 
Saturday morning it was a luau prepping!
 
That night we hosted the Luau and we had an AMAZING TIME! (details to come this week)
We had a great turn out and got to see an old friend.
The girls had M and A stay the night with us and they were all sorts of excited.
(they love those boys)
 
Sunday morning Lo and A were off to my Godfathers to spend the remaining of the weekend there to swim and just chill.
 
M, D and Boo all hung out with us Sunday morning and we did a little shopping and treated the kids to Moe's for being such good shopping sports (M HATES shopping)
 
 
M's mom was kind enough to steal D and Boo and take them over to her new place and have them stay with her for the night which was SO nice and unexpected that we had no idea what to do with ourselves and were n bed at 9:30pm! (We party hard let me tell you)
 
We got up early yesterday morning and went to breakfast at cracker barrel 
 
and did some window shopping before getting the kids back. The hubby also needed to go hang some lights for our friend in her old house so we took the time to go there while she was keeping them entertained.
 
We spent last night lounging around the house working on odd and end cleaning things and early bedtime for us all. We were all exhausted and really looking forward to the shortened week ahead!

Memorial Day Weekend Plans

Memorial day weekend is the "unofficial" holiday that kicks off the summer and we are so excited for a 3 day weekend.
 
As we all have our cook outs, trips to the beach or lake, I have to say that the REAL reason we get to celebrate and spend the time with our family and friends is because of the AMAZING men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice and died for our country...

And thank you to their families who supporting them!
 
As for us we have a fun and jammed packed weekend planned for us.
 
This weekend we are hosting the luau potluck with friends and family here. We were to have it last weekend but Mother Nature rained on our parade with well rain and cold temps.
 
We are ready to distress with good friends, good food and drinks!
 
 
I am sure Sunday will be a day of recouping and putting the house together, and some family time.
 
Monday the girls are out of school for the holiday and I have thought about taking them to Lemon Tree one last time.
 
Lemon Tree announced that they will be closing their doors and I am so sad to hear this!
I guess we will be on the look out for a new fav spot...
 

 
Do you have a favorite yogurt shop?
