May 28 Memorial Day

I write this the morning of the 29th, while the boys still sleep at 9:45am! It appears God gave me a little break this morning. 🙂  They were worn out after swimming 2-3X yesterday, the last time from 10pm – 10:40. No one under 21 allowed in the pool after 11pm.

This day was spent mostly around the neighborhood. Caspian & I drove the 25 mi. or so to ALDI’s, only to find they were closed. I ended up going to BI-LO and spending $104., which at ALDIs would have been $75.-80. Caspian then played w/ 2 of his buddies a lot of the afternoon. I took them to the pool for about an hour & 1/2. Raven can go alone. The rules are: Kids at least 14 do not need supervision, but you have to be 18 to supervise a younger child in the pool. So I have to go whenever Caspian is at the pool.

Caspian & his friends walked through the woods near the pond & a tick fell off one of them when they came into the house. (I hate ticks!) We then checked them over & found no more. His friends have 1-2 more days of school this week, then they are done.

AL SLEPT all afternoon & in the evening as well. He has to work tomorrow 4am to 4pm, for some special training.

We don’t have a grill, so for Memorial Day we made our own “bacon burgers” and hot dogs inside the house. Also fresh corn on the cob, peaches, & pineapple. We unfroze the last 1/2 of Grandpa’s birthday cake for dessert. AL took Raven & bought him a swim suit at Walmart & they got a discounted SONIC shake in the evening. When they ret’d, the boys got in the pool for their “night swim”.
