Oh gosh this kid.
He's a handful of fun, but a handful of work.
He jibber jabbers all day long, and makes a lot of messes to clean up, but we sure love him
We welcomed our Memorial Day weekend with a huge thunder/lightening/rain storm.
Out neighbors even called to see if we wanted to stow ourselves away in their basement,
as there were tornado warnings. Don't kid yourself, they do happen often. (warnings that is)
We had some of our favorite people over for dinner on Saturday night!
The Vance fam came to our casa for a bbq and swim party.
Look how darling, the girls even had matching swim suits!!
It is always so nice when kids play so well together.
We got to chat, while the kiddos kept so busy.
Sunday night our friends invited us down to the annual National Capitol Concert.
It was a blast! We ate, played cards, and let the kids run free.
Charlie showing his police badge from the officers.
Lucy had such a great time with the girls. Look at that laugh.
As we now know, summer time means humidity.
However, despite the humid/hot weather, it was really pleasant down town.
There was a slight breeze, and with the sun setting it was magnificent.
We woke up bright and early to attend the annual Falls Church fun run.
Its a CRAZY packed race, with a free T-shirt at the end, so you know who went!
The race kick starts the events at Cherry Hill park.
There are bounce houses, food, carnival rides, PONY rides, FOOD, bands, concerts, FOOD....
(let me say he did CHOOSE to ride the pony. From the looks of things, this was punishment)
and a parade!! I must be a Sloan (well, actually just a descendant of Dixie),
as I LOVE me a parade!
Luce and I left the sleeping boys and headed out to the parade.
As far as the weather, the heat index was up to 103~ so it was a scorcher,
but we had ourselves some shade.
Things I cry for.... sirens, motorcycle brigades, and parades!!
Its just crazy.
Something about all these people coming together for one common purpose.
So...yes, there were tears.
So fun to be with my Lucy girl
Jeff made our FAVORITE skewers for our BBQ that night.
Yummie food, way to hot weather, and great company.
Henry trying to seduce the ladies to sneak their chocolate cake.
(Really, he took it anyway)
This showed how we all felt at the weekends end.
Ready to just relax, and let the food, fun and energy settle.
Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend.
