- Your kids ask you if THEY can sleep in...and tell you they're tired from having fun and WANT to go to bed
- You fire up the "camping" bbq at least once...
(Added bonus: eating smores)
- You can finish your beverage of choice while it's still cold
- The tv doesn't get turned on all weekend long
- You have to REAPPLY sunscreen because of the amount of time you are spending outside
- If your bathing suit is not hanging up to dry, then you're wearing it
- Your feet get a tan
- Your list of things you want to do is longer than your list of things you have to do...and you get to cross most things off BOTH lists
- You make lemonade out of fresh lemons
- You spend hours filling and throwing water balloons
- And, of course, you take a moment to reflect on how lucky we are and give gratitude to those who paid the greatest price for these simple freedoms
That pretty much sums up our Memorial Day. I have finally realized that having four kids will never be relaxing, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun! Even the babies found time for some R&R.
