Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend was full of fun with friends and family this year.  We went to a crawfish boil over at the Arrants on Saturday afternoon.  The kiddos swam and played while the adults were able to catch up.
 



Ave has a slight obsession with Lily.  She loves to be near her, talk to her in an extremely high pitched voice, and rub her head.  I hope this is a good indication of how she will be when Chloe enters the picture!
 On Sunday, we went to my parents' house to swim and celebrate my birthday. 
 
The latest stray that my mom took in.  Avery walked him all over their house.

A black widow spider was found in a spider web by the pool.  My dad donned a manly purple glove and all the guys assisted in removing it.

Throughout the course of the extended weekend, I had been getting paint samples for the nursery.  When we moved out of the old house, I wrote the paint color from Ave's nursery down in the notes section in my phone.  Somehow it must have gotten deleted.  I really loved the green that we had used and tried one paint sample after the next trying to find something similar.  After 4 unsuccessful samples, I got the bright idea to color match the green in the pillow.  Finally, we found a color that we liked and painted the nursery that Monday. 
 
My many options

The finished product.  It's hard to tell the color here with all the light streaming in but I love it and am glad it's done!

To finish out the weekend, Bill and Ave had a little dance session.  Almost every day Avery asks Bill to twirl with her.  I hope she always wants to do this :).
 
I live for holidays like these.  We had lots of down time, spent time with friends and family, and actually accomplished some things around the house.  I'd say it was a good weekend!
